This was intentional. spi_mem_dtr_supports_op() must only be called when
the operation is DTR in all phases so I did not add any sanity checks if
someone was using it for non-DTR ops. In fact, I added on to this
function in [0] to check nbytes for other phases as well. The patch fell
off my radar unfortunately, and it didn't get merged.
I would like to keep this as it is since we have no user of mixed
DTR/non-DTR modes yet. But if you really want to support it, please
apply my patch first to make sure we check for every phase, not just
command.
