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.

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.
I don't see what that has to do with my point?
AFAIU, your previous comment was to move initialization of
spi_flash_read_message struct to spi_flash_read(). This would mean
sending long list of arguments to spi_flash_read() which needs to be
updated whenever an argument needs to be added/deleted (in future).
Instead passing around a struct would be much easier in case of
adding/removing parameters.
Please correct me if I misunderstood your comment?
