I don't know what DDR is in this context, sorry.  I'm guessing you're
right since it sounds like something to do with extra clocks and this is
probably not something used by generic SPI devices at present (if it
ends up being widely implemented by sufficiently generic controllers
that might change but the trend seems to be to flash specific
controllers).
