Sure, this is what I read in include/linux/spi/spi.h "It's always safe
to call this unless transfers are pending on the device whose settings
are being modified."

It also means that the whole memory allocation for devices that is done
a few lines above this gpio request is also completely wrong... This
function needs a serious refactoring.

Thanks for the heads-up.

Best regards,
