The Cadence SPI driver does something like:

all_true = cmd.dtr && addr.dtr ...;
all_false = !cmd.dtr && !addr.dtr ...;
if (!all_true || !all_false)
	return false;

This basically rules out any mixed DTR operation.

I believe Macronix code is inspired from this function, but they
intentionally dropped the all_true check, making the situation boolean:
either there is at least one DTR op, or there is none. So I believe
this was done on purpose and this controller supports mixed DTR ops.
