This commit updates the SPI subsystem, particularly affecting "SPI MEM" drivers and core parts, by replacing the -ENOTSUPP error code with -EOPNOTSUPP. The key motivations for this change are as follows: 1. The spi-nor driver currently uses EOPNOTSUPP, whereas calls to spi-mem might return ENOTSUPP. This update aims to unify the error reporting within the SPI subsystem for clarity and consistency. 2. The use of ENOTSUPP has been flagged by checkpatch as inappropriate, mainly being reserved for NFS-related errors. To align with kernel coding standards and recommendations, this change is being made. 3. By using EOPNOTSUPP, we provide more specific context to the error, indicating that a particular operation is not supported. This helps differentiate from the more generic ENOTSUPP error, allowing drivers to better handle and respond to different error scenarios. Risks and Considerations: While this change is primarily intended as a code cleanup and error code unification, there is a minor risk of breaking user-space applications that rely on specific return codes for unsupported operations. However, this risk is considered low, as such use-cases are unlikely to be common or critical. Nevertheless, developers and users should be aware of this change, especially if they have scripts or tools that specifically handle SPI error codes. This commit does not introduce any functional changes to the SPI subsystem or the affected drivers.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
