Thanks for your patch!

So this driver is intended for SuperH SoCs, too?
If not, please drop the dependency.

What's the purpose of the reset routine?
Given the #ifdef, is it optional or required?

Why do you need this loop?
The delay in cpg_mssr_reset() should be sufficient.

rpc_spi_xfer_message() sounds like a bad name to me, given it operates
on a transfer, not on a message.

This will return an error if CONFIG_RESET_CONTROLLER is not set, hence
the #ifdef above is moot.

Is there any reason you cannot use the standard
spi_transfer_one_message, i.e. provide spi_controller.transfer_one()
instead of spi_controller.transfer_one_message()?
