I am not sure about the side effect of moving this to transfer but I can 
suspect:
When client driver is active, it need the proper state of CS. If we move 
this to transfer then probbaly CS is not in proper state until client 
calls the transfer function and this is not correct. The CS should be 
inactive state for all devices in non-transfer states.
