I don't see the benefit of those ALL_ARGS() macros compared to the
definition of the _DTR() variants using raw struct initializers, but if
you think we will add more optional args and really care about saving a
few lines of code, maybe it'd be better to have something like:

#define SPI_MEM_OP_DTR .dtr = true
#define SPI_MEM_OP_CMD_BYTES(val) .nbytes = val

#define SPI_MEM_OP_EXT_CMD(__opcode, __buswidth, ...) \
	{ \
		.buswidth = __buswidth, \
		.opcode = __opcode, \
		__VA_ARGS__, \
	}

#define SPI_MEM_OP_CMD(__opcode, __buswidth) \
	SPI_MEM_OP_EXT_CMD(__opcode, __buswidth, \
			   SPI_MEM_OP_CMD_BYTES(1))

#define SPI_MEM_OP_CMD_DTR(__nbytes, __opcode, __buswidth) \
	SPI_MEM_OP_EXT_CMD(__opcode, __buswidth, \
			   SPI_MEM_OP_CMD_BYTES(__nbytes), \
			   SPI_MEM_OP_DTR)

so you don't have to patch all users every time you add an argument.
