Using this patch I get 2.21MiB/s on my L138 EVM (da850), quite 
an improvement! I would like to see how much my original patch can
be improved using some of your changes without splitting the code
to handle the three cases. I will try later this week.

I think there should always be an else branch at the end even if 
CONFIG_SPI_HALF_DUPLEX is not defined. Something like:

#else
        flags |= SPI_XFER_END;
#endif

to terminate the transfer instead of failing silently.
In fact it should signal the error condition somehow, but 
I do not know enough about u-boot to provide an advice on this.

Thanks
