I've also done some testing, this time on an AST2600A3 EVB.

I tried to enable quad spi by adjust the device tree:

--- a/arch/arm/boot/dts/aspeed-ast2600-evb.dts
+++ b/arch/arm/boot/dts/aspeed-ast2600-evb.dts
@@ -157,10 +157,13 @@ &rtc {
 };

 &fmc {
+     pinctrl-names = "default";
+     pinctrl-0 = <&pinctrl_fwqspid_default>;
        status = "okay";
        flash at 0 {
                status = "okay";
                m25p,fast-read;
+               spi-rx-bus-width = <4>;
                label = "bmc";
                spi-max-frequency = <50000000>;


But the pinctrl setting failed with this error:

[    0.742963] aspeed-g6-pinctrl 1e6e2000.syscon:pinctrl: invalid
function FWQSPID in map table

So I removed the quad spi settings and re-tested:
