Hi Brian，
   Thank you very much for your comments.

OK. I'll move this file into Documentation/devicetree/bindings/mtd.

OK. I'll modify the description.

It's not a must to use memcpy though host->iobase represents a segment of inner memory
which stores data from flash device byte by byte.  I will give up using memcpy here and
hisi_spi_nor_write_reg() in next version. Thank you!

No, this controller just supports 32-bit addresses. So I think I have to truncate 64-bit dma_buf. :(

Thank you very much!
