+Subject: [PATCH] Revert "mtd: spi-nor: fix Spansion regressions (aliased with
+ Winbond)"
+
+This reverts commit 67b9bcd36906e12a15ffec19463afbbd6a41660e.
+
+The underlying issue breaking Spansion flash has been fixed with "mtd: spi-nor:
+wait until lock/unlock operations are ready" and "mtd: spi-nor: wait for SR_WIP
+to clear on initial unlock", so we can support unlocking for Winbond flash
+again.
