Actually, I'm doing the test directly in ti_qspi_exec_mem_op(), it's
just that my test is wrong :-):

		if (!virt_addr_valid(op->data.buf.in) &&
		    !spi_controller_dma_map_mem_op_data(mem->spi->master,
							op, &sgt)) {

should be

		if (virt_addr_valid(op->data.buf.in) &&
		    !spi_controller_dma_map_mem_op_data(mem->spi->master,
							op, &sgt)) {
