In m25p80_read() even though spi_flash_read() is supported by some drivers, under certain circumstances like unaligned buffer, address or address range limitations on certain SoCs let it fallback to core spi reads. Such drivers are expected to return -EAGAIN so that the m25p80_read() uses standard spi transfer.
