seq_op[] has PNV_SPI_REG_SIZE elements, PNV_SPI_REG_SIZE being 8.

We also have NUM_SEQ_OPS defined as 8.

get_seq_index() returns SPI_STS_SEQ_INDEX. Being defined as
PPC_BITMASK(28, 31), it is 4-bit width. (I was wondering why
not have get_seq_index return a masked value).

I don't know this area, but this code is not very clear...

Alternative to make Coverity happy:

   seq_index = get_seq_index(s);
   assert(seq_index < NUM_SEQ_OPS);
   opcode = s->seq_op[seq_index];
