Yes, you are right, it works with at25 driver!
Thanks!

At the moment I have to use a page size of 256 bytes, using "atmel,at25".
Since the Everspin EM0004LXB MRAM doesn't have problem with any page size
(theoretically I could use a single page size of 512KB), can I update the
at25.c driver with a support for the EM0004LXB MRAM, as already done for
the Cypress fm25 F-RAM?
