It seems bitrev8 is doing what I want.

I have run some experiments, and it won't be possible. HW expects reset after
completing whole transfer. With prepare_transfer_hardware() and unprepared_transfer_hardware(),
that reset won't be guaranteed.
Also, there will be a problem when CS line will be changed(without overlay reinit)
