Applied to spi-nor/next, thanks!

FYI, I spotted a couple small issues and fixed them up when applying.

Whitespace issue, checkpatch complains on this. It should be aligned
with the opening parenthesis above.

I get a build warning because of incorrect format specifier. Should use
%zu since len is size_t.
