Hi Santhosh,

I have only one comment on the spinand bits.

Why do you disable continuous reads? I know it is not the same as the
read template, but it only differs by a few dummy cycles, so everything
should work as expected. I believe without complexifying much the logic
we should be able to support it.

Thanks,
