Good point. I think you're right there could be a race.

I tested with multiple slaves and hammered the bus with concurrent
accesses; but that doesn't mean that there _isn't_ still a race.

Can you recommend an existing implementation in-tree upon which I can
base a new patch to add concurrency protection to SPIDAT1 accesses?
