The commit message is misleading. The intention is to replace
ENOTSUPP with EOPNOTUPP for two reasons:
 (1) checkpatch will complain about the use of ENOTSUPP and apparently
     should only be used with NFS
 (2) more importantly, spi-nor already uses EOPNOTSUPP, but calls to
     spi-mem might return ENOTSUPP. We'd like to unify this.
