That's true, I was looking at ti_qspi_spi_flash_read and somehow
incorrectly (!) assumed there is a check above. Of course there isn't
one and there can't be, I'll simply fix this code. I guess we should
fix ti_qspi_spi_flash_read in ti-qspi driver as well.

I also realized there wasn't any fallback introduced in:
mtd: devices: m25p80: add support for mmap read request
http://git.infradead.org/l2-mtd.git/commitdiff/08922f644878c9163ada8df3ef9def89be1d5e90

What shall we do if spi_flash_read fails? Should we always fallback to
the standard SPI flash read? Or should we standarize error codes
returned by spi_flash_read and fallback on some particular error code
only?

This is based on what I found in Broadcom's SDK (they don't release
any real specifications):
#define SI_NS_FLASH_WINDOW 0x02000000 /* Flash XIP Window */
