I just discovered it take about 200µs to write six bytes of process data in process RAM via SPI into the LAN9252 chip! It's horrible slow. I can't figure out they think about then they make SPI protocol like this.
Write adresse(s) and read/write as many bytes as needed had been the most obvious, now there are several commands and wait in between.
