The two 8D flashes that are currently supported in SPI NOR both have a
1-byte status register. But to read it, the read op should be 2-byte
long to avoid partial cycles at the end. The second byte is simply
discarded.

2-byte wide registers might show up in the future, but for now at least
we don't have to worry about them.

I think Mark also suggested something similar. Make the CPU/non-CPU case
transparent to the caller. I agree with with this direction. Makes the
caller simpler.

I also mentioned in a reply to this patch that supports_op() should be
called before the op is executed. That should take care of "base"
support for the op. The poll-specific checks can go in the poll_status()
function itself. If either of those say the op is not supported, it
should fall back to CPU based polling. That's the design that makes the
most sense to me.
