not public, but will publish them these days.

no need for a fallback, the controller can ignore op->data.dtr_bswap16 if
it can't swap bytes.

Here's the changes that enable this on atmel-quadspi:

    spi: atmel-quadspi: Set endianness on 8D-8D-8D mode according to the flash requirements
    
    Macronix swaps bytes on a 16-bit boundary when configured in Octal DTR.
    The byte order of 16-bit words is swapped when read or write written in
    8D-8D-8D mode compared to STR modes. Set the endianness flash requirements
    to avoid endianness problems during boot stages.
