What if we have a large transfer on a slow bus?

This isn't really start_transfer() is it? It's doing the entire
operation.

This is buggy, it's applying the per-transfer delay every timme we fill
the FIFO.

How is this going to work for full duplex transfers if we had to fill
the FIFO more than once?

Tell the core what the device supports and it will check for you.

I would expect the recieve and transmit operations to be running in
parallel, not executed one after another, given the need to keep
manually filling and draining the FIFOs.

Don't spam the logs like this, there's no content in this message.

devm_spi_alloc_master().

devm_ioremap_resource() will complain for you.
