Mmh right, it's fine then.

But here the op is "spi-nor wide", I would have expected a
per-device op. But that is not a big deal, that is something that can
also be updated later if needed I guess.

One last question, is there something that mtd_device_register() does
that is really needed for the calibration to work? Otherwise I would
rather prefer to have that calibration happening before the user gets
access to the device.
