ah, there's some detail. I'l move this into the changelog for
spi-remove-imx-spi-driver.patch.

Still, it seesm that the current driver does work for some people.
Removing it in this manner seems a bit risky. Unnecessarily risky?

Are these operations endian-safe? Seems not. Should they be? It
would be pretty simple to do.

Could be made const - it's slightly preferable to have data in
read-only locations if possible. It means that we'll get a nice oops
if someone accidentally writes to them and sometimes it means that the
data doesn't need to be copied out to read/write memory at boot-time.

Perhaps the compiler does this anyway.

This all looks rather SMP/preempt/interrupt-unsafe. Or does the SPI core
provide the needed locking?

Dittoes everywhere.

Unneeded and undesirable cast of a void*.

Can this happen?
