Oh crap, I forgot about that.

Yes, I can add this check as well.
I will propose a first patch creating a spi-mem helper to do generic
checks, given a number of additional parameters (dtr, ecc). The current
helpers will call this generic function depending on what they check
(support for dtr or not). Then I will export this generic helper and
let the drivers use it directly if needed, in order to avoid the
explosion of helpers in the core to check all the possible combinations.
I'll certainly propose a v4 just with these patches and then apply them
within the v3 if everyone agrees with the rest.
Thanks,
Miquèl
