The platform_get_resource_byname() function returns NULL on error, it
doesn't return error pointers.

The commit message for commit d166a73503ef ("spi: fspi: dynamically
alloc AHB memory") is not very good.  Why is it necessary to allocate
the AHB memory dynamically instead of during probe?  Also I suspect that
Adam should have recieved authorship credit for that patch.

It wasn't my patch, I just pulled it in from NXP's repo.  The true
author is Han Xu.  When I pulled in the series from NXP, I found the
flexSPI on the i.MX8MM to become functional, and my company has a
board with a qspi flash on it.

Agreed and I made the same comment during review:

Indeed.  There had been an earlier discussion of what it was doing IIRC
but it didn't make it's way into the changelog.

You should have put your Signed-off-by after Han Xu's.  They should be
in chronological order so whoever handles a patch adds their S-o-b to
the end.

Please send a patch doing the revert with a changelog explaining why
it's needed.

Please fix your mail client to word wrap within paragraphs at something
substantially less than 80 columns.  Doing this makes your messages much
easier to read and reply to.
