Sorry, there was a patch from Richard which got applied but not pushed
out - I've pushed it now but it conflicts with this.  Can you please
rebase?  It should be a simple update from the looks of things.

Why do you need to hold the lock to complete the transfer?  That seems
very odd.

Just a heads up at this point but this is most likely going to be moved
into the core soon.

If you convert to transfer_one() instead of transfer_one_message() then
this will be handled for you.  What you're doing at the minute is still
an improvement so it should be OK but it'd be worth a look.  There will
be further changes in this to factor out the DMA and message push code.

This is buggy, cs_change should flip the polarity of /CS rather than
bounce it on and off except if set on the last transfer in a message in
which case it should cause /CS to remain asserted after the message is
finished.  Again, transfer_one() factors this out - you can at least
look at this to see what should be done.

You shouldn't need to worry about this, the core should handle this.
