Hi,
> Add the Everspin EM0004LXB 4Mb (512KB) Industrial STT-MRAM Persistent
> Memory.
Out of curiosity, what is your use case here? Usually, I push back on
this small MRAM devices in SPI-NOR in favor of the at25 driver. But
this datasheet lists octal dtr with 200mhz, which seems a bit ridiculous
for 512kB. The at25 driver only supports single bit SPI of course.
I'm not sure in which mode you are using this device, though. The DS
shows a non-volatile configuration register (Table 10, offset 0) and
it's default value is single bit SPI.

No name. We prefer to only have the ID for parts which has JEDED IDs.

This should probably be removed (and then default to the 64k erase
size).
> + .flags = SPI_NOR_NO_ERASE | SPI_NOR_NO_FR | SPI_NOR_HAS_LOCK |
Don't use SPI_NOR_NO_ERASE for new devices. Eventually, I like to get
rid of
this flag. This device is emulating the erase instruction, so it should
work
without.
SPI_NOR_NO_FR is wrong here. The DS says it supports fast read.
Please also have a look at [1] for the required tests.
