Looking at this I can't help but think that spi_flash_read() ought to have the stub in rather than the caller. But given that we're pretty much only ever expecting one user I'm not 100% sure it actually matters.quoted

Well, my initial patch set passed long list of arguments to spi_flash_read(), but Brian suggested to use struct[1] in order to avoid unnecessary churn when things need changed in the API.quoted

I don't see what that has to do with my point?quoted
AFAIU, your previous comment was to move initialization of spi_flash_read_message struct to spi_flash_read(). This would meanNo, not at all. I'm talking about how we handle the case where we don't have hardware support for this and need to implement it in software - currently that's in a separate place to the place where we call the driver.
Yeah, but AFAIK, hardware accelerated read support is applicable for m25p80 flashes only, I doubt whether spi_flash_read() will be used by other types. I felt keeping the software implementation in m25p80_read() will be consistent with m25p80_write(). -- Regards Vignesh
