On Octal DTR capable flashes like Micron Xcella the writes cannot start
or end at an odd address in Octal DTR mode. Extra 0xff bytes need to be
appended or prepended to make sure the start address and end address are
even. 0xff is used because on NOR flashes a program operation can only
flip bits from 1 to 0, not the other way round. 0 to 1 flip needs to
happen via erases.

This could be replaced by just setting the first and the
last byte to 0xff. But this might be easier to read. I am
fine with both.

else if ? I've missed this in the other patch.

First, yes. Not the last. The buffer is allocated to nor->page_size for 
simplicity but the write could be smaller than nor->page_size. So you'd 
need to calculate the position of the other 0xff byte. It is much 
simpler to just initialize the whole buffer. It will be around 256 or 
512 bytes so not a big overhead.

Following the style used in spi_nor_read(). Anyway, I've seen 
conflicting advice on which style to be used. Some people don't like 
else if when the if ends in a return since it is effectively an else if. 
Others like it the other way round. Dunno...

I don't think so. IIRC this is left over from when I tried a different 
approach. Maybe I should change it to WARN_ON() to catch future 
programming errors? Though I don't mind if we drop it entirely.
