Thanks for your patch!

Duplicating all functions sounds a bit wasteful to me.

What about reverting the word first, and calling the normal functions?

if (unlikely(spi->mode & SPI_LSB_FIRST)) {
if (bits <= 8)
word = bitrev8(word) >> (bits - 8);
else if (bits <= 16)
word = bitrev16(word) >> (bits - 16);
else
word = bitrev32(word) >> (bits - 32);
}
return bitbang_txrx_be_cpha0(spi, nsecs, 0, flags, word, bits);

Gr{oetje,eeting}s,
