When it's finished, you can try.

Message: 50671    The one problem still exists. Only one spi device could be connected to the bus.

Due to spi framework problems. There should be a way to lock bus to get exclusive access to it.

So you should have a way to do few transfers with cs asserted. It seems that someday that will be done in mainline kernel.

Message: 50698    you can already do multiple transactions in one go with the SPI framework ... just use the message functions to queue up the related pieces before sending it out instead of using spi_read/spi_write

the CS behavior too can be controlled on a per-device or per-transfer setting
