Hello,

Shrinking a bit the explanation on why the spi-mem abstraction is
needed (a detailed explanation is available here [2]). In addition to
what as been said in my initial explanation I'll add that making it part
of the SPI framework instead of as an extra independent layer is
justified by the fact that some controllers support both SPI memory
operations and regular SPI transfers, and it's cleaner to have both
features exposed through a single driver.

In this v2, I think I addressed all the comments I had except the
advanced direct memory mapping stuff mentioned by Cyrille, but I don't
think any of the work done in this series prevents us from adding this
feature later on.

For those who want to have the full picture, here is a branch [1]
containing the SPI NAND framework based on top of this spi-mem layer.

Thanks,

Boris

I'm pretty much OK with this, there's a few small bits to be addressed
it seems but it looks good overall.

Okay, cool. I'll send a v3 addressing the few issues pointed by
reviewers.

Thanks,

Boris
