I'd like to further simplify the patch by using the recently introduced
devm_spi_mem_dirmap_create() function (queued to Mark's spi/for-5.1
branch), which means I'll have to wait v5.1-rc1 before sending a new
version. I'll let you decide if it's worth applying Geert's patches in
the meantime.

Boris
