Sorry - I was on the road and had to use a web interface. It looked OK during composition. Is this better?

Why not just implement this at an appropriate level in the SPI
subsystem? One of the great things about Linux is that you can change
the core code...

At the moment, we're trying to keep our work focused on just the core RMI4 driver. It's evident that we've still got a bit to learn, and I'd be more comfortable keeping our learning experiences confined as they are now.

However, a general capability in SPI core is a fine idea for future work, once we get the RMI4 driver ironed out. Can we agree to defer that for now?

Thanks,
Chris
