spi_mem_check_op() makes sure that op->cmd.nbytes != 0, otherwise it
returns -EINVAL ...

.. thus l2len can never be negative. You can declare len and l2len as
u64. The casts from above shall disappear.

s/xferred/transferred?

Would be good to be able to opt out the statistics if one wants it.

SPI NORs can write with a single write op maximum page_size bytes, which
is typically 256 bytes. And since there are SPI NORs that can run at 400
MHz, I guess some performance penalty shouldn't be excluded.
