If they could test easily it's always a good thing. For 4K erase it should
be pretty straight forward but for dual and quad fast reads it depends on
the SPI controller hardware capabilities, whether the IO2 and IO3 lines are
physically connected to the relevant memory pins... So if it is too
difficult to find a proper board to do the tests, just tell us :)

Anyway, with Macronix memories, we don't take that much risk setting the
dual/quad flags referring only to the datasheet. For instance, we already
know that the Fast Read 1-y-4 commands work with Macronix mx25l25673g, so
it's very likely to work the same with mx25u*35f parts.

Still reading the datasheet, I've already checked the number of dummy
cycles needed with the factory settings: 8 dummy clock cycles (mode cycles
included) for both Fast Read 1-1-4 and Fast Read 1-1-2.

Best regards,

Cyrille
