Right.

I had a hard time taking a decision but my conclusion was that these
caps are static controller capabilities and exclusively tight to the
controller. The spi_mem structure defines a SPI peripheral. The
spi_mem_ops structure is the only spi-mem related field of the
spi-controller structure. I could have added my own field there but
as these caps are only meant to be used by the spi_mem_ops anyway
(exclusively ->supports_op() for now), it seemed to be a good location,
at least better than the spi-mem structure.

Yep!
