The current driver has a workarround that seem to be targeted to SPI flashes. It completely throws away the first Rx buffer without any warning or error. This patch set:

  • Removes that behavior and processes the first SPI buffer normally.
  • Makes sure that NULL-Buffers are handled correctly.
  • Avoids sending extra bytes if the transmit is already done while the receive is not yet finished.

The driver has ignored the first RX buffer. Most likely it has been
modeled for accesses to a SPI flash or similar where the first read data
is not relevant.

This commit makes sure that the driver can work as a universal SPI
master instead.

At the moment, if you would pass a NULL buffer to the driver, the rx and
tx counts of that buffer would not advance. This patch fixes that.

The driver did send some extra 0 bytes when the receive hasn't been
finished yet. This patch makes sure to avoid that.
