The SPI subsystem?
Can the SPI system cope with the other chip being the master of the interface. In other words, can SPI sit around primed for a transfer, and notify the user of SPI that new data has arrived?
If not, the SPI subsystem is totally unsuitable for this.
It's slave only at the minute - there's holes in the API someone could fill in but that's not happened yet.
Well, I guess someone else will have to do that; I don't spend much time on the LX stuff, and so if it requires any time consuming work, it won't be worth trying to get it into mainline.
However, the patch itself doesn't looks like to be a SPI slave (I mean from the view of the processor).
'struct spi_message' does support simultaneous rx/tx transfer and multiple such transfers being queued.
