Ha, thank you!

FWIW in next, there is commit
e63aef9c9121e ("spi: spi-mem: add statistics support to ->exec_op() calls")
that probably will conflict with this one.

Also, - not for this patch - but with that logic, spi_mem_exec_op()
might return EOPNOTSUPP *or* ENOTSUPP, even for drivers which might
still return ENOTSUPP, because there is one condition in
spi_mem_exec_op() which will always return EOPNOTSUPP. That is
somewhat confusing, no?
