Like I said before, we should try to avoid creeping up the scope of this 
series. This series aims to add 8D support. Once this lands, I don't see 
why you can't 8S support on top. Unless we make a fundamental change 
that makes it impossible to add 8S support, it should stay as-is.

All that said, I fail to see why 8S would have any problems with this 
function. We just fill in the buswidths from the protocol, and adjust 
the op if it is DTR. So in case of 8S mode, this function as it is will 
fill in the buswidths to 8 for all phases. And it won't hit the if block 
here so this code is of no concern to 8S mode.

No. The adjustments below apply to _all_ DTR ops, not just 8D-8D-8D 
ones. So in case someone wants to use 4D-4D-4D mode, they won't have to 
touch this code at all.
