I don't know enough about SPI to answer that question.  I will look
into moving over to transmit_one().  Most of the design decisions in
this driver were taken back when you were probably wearing denim
jackets and supporting an afro. ;)

I think this implementation has been pretty heavily tested.  What
should I be looking out for?

School boy error!

Probably historical and I didn't notice.

I'll look into swapping it over.
