Hm, actually I wonder if this ->prepare_op() method is really what we
want. It seems to be here to set the proper plane number and the
number of dummy bytes after the address cycles.
I'd say deducing the plane from the page is something standard. Whether
we need it or not depends on the information provide in the memorg
object (->nplanes).

Regarding the dummy byte, do you have examples of SPI NANDs requiring
less or more dummy bytes in this read/write from/to cache use case?
If not, I'd prefer to keep it hardcoded in the core for know, and add
a hook when the need appears.
