Subject: [PATCH 0/2] spi: Add support for non-blocking synchronous transfers

Hi,

During the course of development of an accelerometer driver, we saw the
necessity to execute spi transfers synchronously within an interrupt handler.
When using a workqueue instead, we observed a huge number of overruns with very
high cpu utlization, which is unacceptable.

This series adds a new interface for this and modifies no existing ones.

[PATCH 1/2] - Adds synchronous non-blocking transfer support to spi core
[PATCH 2/2] - Implements this support in spi_bitbang.c
