Do you have perf numbers or similar to support it being worth the effort? Otherwise a few minor comments inline.

We'll end up with an spi message the stack but I suspect that's not a significant performance cost. > + > + ret = spi_sync(spi, &bus_data->msg); > + if (ret) > return ret; > > return be32_to_cpu(st->data[2].d32);
