It is always fun watching those patches flow by :-)

With the following patch:

diff --git a/drivers/spi/spi-omap-100k.c b/drivers/spi/spi-omap-100k.c
index 5e91858..f72ddfc 100644
--- a/drivers/spi/spi-omap-100k.c
+++ b/drivers/spi/spi-omap-100k.c
@@ -70,8 +70,8 @@
 #define SPI_STATUS_WE                   (1UL << 1)
 #define SPI_STATUS_RD                   (1UL << 0)

-#define WRITE 0
-#define READ  1
+#undef WRITE
+#undef READ

[ just to make sure that no existing defines are used instead of the new ones ]

When compiling the resulting code with W=1, I get:

drivers/spi/spi-omap-100k.c: In function 'spi100k_read_data':
drivers/spi/spi-omap-100k.c:148:6: warning: variable 'dataH' set but not used
				[-Wunused-but-set-variable]

So, one might conclude that the defines are not used.
