As Andy mentioned, ->max_transfer_size is a callback:
struct spi_controller {
/*
* on some hardware transfer / message size may be constrained
* the limit may depend on device transfer settings
*/
size_t (*max_transfer_size)(struct spi_device *spi);
(I looked at its users and they all return a static or probe time value
so not sure why it's a callback.)
