No. Reading is an SPI method. But the SPI flash command for reading
data is different than other SPI commands.

The only thing we should be doing this for is SPI _flash reads_. Not
SPI reads. Just data area reads from a directly attached flash chip.

It's dirty or inefficient any way we do this. Either we special case
spibus drivers, or we expose a SPI read / SPI write 'command' that
knows it's not a generic SPI bus transaction but specifically a
read-this-flash-data-from-this-offset-and-length transaction. Or some
other kind of dirty hack.
