Hi,
Don't worry. Due to the fact I don't have on my mail client access to
the whole discussions, I'm making a complete answer there based on the
archive of the mailing list. Sorry for that.
For the patch 1, I approve it too. This part of code is useless because
the feature was removed. RIP my code. :D
For the patch 2, the cache information was added due to comment from
Jonathan Cameron when I developed the driver. The comment was:

For the endianess thing, it shouldn't be required to make an explicit
conversion into the driver. According to the spi.h documentation:

So from my point of view the SPI subsystem always converts to the right
endianess. We don't have to take care about it.
For patch 3, I didn't use delay_usecs fiels due to the timings
definition in the datasheet in "READ/WRITE SPANNING CONVERSION WITHOUT A
BUSY INDICATOR" mode. During the delay, the chip select line must be
released which is not the case when we use delay_usecs field. So I add
the delay instruction after the write step to be compliant with these
timings.
For patch 4, I explained a bit in the other thread. Maybe we have a
difference of behaviour due to the choice of the timings "modes"?
BTW, from my point of view the datasheet is not totally clear about the
timings and what is mandatory or not in the expected behaviour.
Regards,
Charles-Antoine Couret
