Hi Varka,
Is there a specific problem you're seeing? Typically in the kernel we
expect the SPI controller to succeed for a couple reasons:
1. It's part of the basic, core functionality of a system. Checking for
errors on SPI transfers is analogous to making sure RAM you wrote
actually got written.
2. Most of the time an SPI failure is not something we can detect
anyway. (disconnect one of the lines and see what you get).
3. The code to check for it just adds a lot of bloat without much
measurable benefit.
I've read the above in the comments in other drivers, but I can't
remember exactly where right now. There are plenty of examples in the
kernel of SPI being done this way, as it seems to be accepted practice
in the kernel.
If there is a specific issue that you're seeing, then let's talk about
it, otherwise I'm going to NAK this change.
Alan.
