Yes because we wouldn't have a correct 'spi_mem_dirmap_info' if it wasn't
the case. May be change the documentation ?

OK. Since the above is a oneliner, it should not be a problem to move
it under a new handler if needed.

The dirmap_create() handler expects the spi-mem descriptor and the field
'desc->info.op_tmpl' to be correctly initialized in order to compute the
control register value, which is a requirement for dirmap_read(). The
calibration sequence simply comes after.

AFAICT, there is nothing incorrect today.

Thanks,
