That's exactly my point, I really don't like the creation of 15 empty
and useless structures while we could just have a check. If the
controller provides no capabilities, we assure he has none. I don't
think checking "if (caps && caps->PARAM)" hurts. Anyway, if we go for
the spi_mem controller internal structure approach, we might just not
need those.

Thanks,
Miquèl
