+/**
+ * struct spi_transfer - a read/write buffer pair
+ * @tx_buf: data to be written (dma-safe memory), or NULL
+ * @rx_buf: data to be read (dma-safe memory), or NULL
+ * @tx_dma: DMA address of tx_buf, if @spi_message.is_dma_mapped
+ * @rx_dma: DMA address of rx_buf, if @spi_message.is_dma_mapped
+ * @len: size of rx and tx buffers (in bytes)
+ * @speed_hz: Select a speed other then the device default for this
+ *      transfer. If 0 the default (from @spi_device) is used.
+ * @bits_per_word: select a bits_per_word other then the device default
+ *      for this transfer. If 0 the default (from @spi_device) is used.
+ * @cs_change: affects chipselect after this transfer completes
+ * @delay_usecs: microseconds to delay after this transfer before
+ *	(optionally) changing the chipselect status, then starting
+ *	the next transfer or completing this @spi_message.
+ * @transfer_list: transfers are sequenced through @spi_message.transfers
+ *
+ * SPI transfers always write the same number of bytes as they read.
+ * Protocol drivers should always provide @rx_buf and/or @tx_buf.
+ * In some cases, they may also want to provide DMA addresses for
+ * the data being transferred; that may reduce overhead, when the
+ * underlying driver uses dma.
+ *
+ * If the transmit buffer is null, zeroes will be shifted out
+ * while filling @rx_buf.  If the receive buffer is null, the data
+ * shifted in will be discarded.  Only "len" bytes shift out (or in).
+ * It's an error to try to shift out a partial word.  (For example, by
+ * shifting out three bytes with word size of sixteen or twenty bits;
+ * the former uses two bytes per word, the latter uses four bytes.)
+ *
+ * In-memory data values are always in native CPU byte order, translated
+ * from the wire byte order (big-endian except with SPI_LSB_FIRST).  So
+ * for example when bits_per_word is sixteen, buffers are 2N bytes long
+ * (@len = 2N) and hold N sixteen bit words in CPU byte order.
+ *
+ * When the word size of the SPI transfer is not a power-of-two multiple
+ * of eight bits, those in-memory words include extra bits.  In-memory
+ * words are always seen by protocol drivers as right-justified, so the
+ * undefined (rx) or unused (tx) bits are always the most significant bits.
+ *
+ * All SPI transfers start with the relevant chipselect active.  Normally
+ * it stays selected until after the last transfer in a message.  Drivers
+ * can affect the chipselect signal using cs_change.
+ *
+ * (i) If the transfer isn't the last one in the message, this flag is
+ * used to make the chipselect briefly go inactive in the middle of the
+ * message.  Toggling chipselect in this way may be needed to terminate
+ * a chip command, letting a single spi_message perform all of group of
+ * chip transactions together.
+ *
+ * (ii) When the transfer is the last one in the message, the chip may
+ * stay selected until the next transfer.  On multi-device SPI busses
+ * with nothing blocking messages going to other devices, this is just
+ * a performance hint; starting a message to another device deselects
+ * this one.  But in other cases, this can be used to ensure correctness.
+ * Some devices need protocol transactions to be built from a series of
+ * spi_message submissions, where the content of one message is determined
+ * by the results of previous messages and where the whole transaction
+ * ends when the chipselect goes intactive.
+ *
+ * The code that submits an spi_message (and its spi_transfers)
+ * to the lower layers is responsible for managing its memory.

+ * As a rule, SPI devices can't be probed.  Instead, board init code
+ * provides a table listing the devices which are present, with enough

+ * @controller_data: Initializes spi_device.controller_data; some
+ *	controllers need hints about hardware setup, e.g. for DMA.
+ * @irq: Initializes spi_device.irq; depends on how the board is wired.
+ * @max_speed_hz: Initializes spi_device.max_speed_hz; based on limits
