OK I'll send the other patch I've been holding back, it merges that part into
the driver itself so it sits in the apropriate containment, and solves
that specific issue.

But I understood Davids criticism like this: "you shouldn't make tests
using loopback for a specific driver, it should be generic, i.e. being
able to perform a loopback test on any driver supporting SPI_LOOP".

A generic loopback test is a lot harder for me to produce, that's
why I was troubled...

Yours,
