These will become:

 +	read_op = *spinand->op_templates->read_cache;
 +	write_op = *spinand->op_templates->write_cache;

after rebasing on nand/next or next -rc1.

Can we move the comment before spi_mem_execute_timing()? Then no more
brackets needed and it will be easier to read (imo).

LGTM otherwise.
