If you don't mind, I'd rather keep some of these inline functions. I have
no strong justification, it's more a personal taste: it makes lines
shorter as it avoids the need to add "->regs + ".
Also it makes the code consistent with other Atmel drivers which already
use such wrappers.

However I'll fix the comment and remove the byte and word versions, which
are not used. So only qspi_readl() and qspi_writel() are left.

Does it sound good to you?
