Applied, with a small diff.

I added a memset(&msg, 0, sizeof(msg)), since spi_flash_read() doesn't
guarantee msg.retlen is zeroed for failures. Do we want a
spi_flash_read_message_init() function, to mirror spi_message_init()?

Speaking of "other combinations": does the TI QSPI controller support
MMAP'ed read modes other than 1/1/{1,2,4}? It doesn't seem to implement
support, and the SPI core doesn't handle this. So if we merge any of
Cyrille's work on other modes, then this is going to break quickly.
