+ * @rx_dma: DMA address of rx_buf, if spi_message.is_dma_mapped
+ * @len: size of rx and tx buffers (in bytes)
+ * @cs_change: affects chipselect after this transfer completes

+ * 	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, undefined data will be shifted out

+ * 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.)
+ *
+ * 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.  This is purely a performance
+ * hint; the controller driver may need to select a different device
+ * for the next message.
