Hi Mark,

There might be a conflict with 'SPI_CONTROLLER_MUST_TX' and 'SPI_3WIRE' mode,
i need to know the SPI_3WIRE direction,  currently i get this
information from 'struct spi_device'
and 'struct spi_transfer'
if ((spi_device->mode & SPI_3WIRE) && (spi_transfer->tx_buf == NULL)
&& (spi_transfer->rx_buf != NULL))
    this is a SPI_3WIRE_RX transfer
if ((spi_device->mode & SPI_3WIRE) && (spi_transfer->tx_buf != NULL)
&& (spi_transfer->rx_buf == NULL))
    this is a SPI_3WIRE_TX transfer

but, after spi-core create a dummy tx_buf or rx_buf, then i can't get
the correct spi_3wire direction.
actually, this dummy tx_buf is useless for SPI_3WIRE. it's has meaning
for SPI_SIMPLE_RX mode,
simulate SPI_FULL_DUMPLEX

how do you think?

thanks

best regards

Dillon
