Yes.

Yes.

Well, if the fsl-spi driver has a good reason for open coding
transfer_message() it could continue to do it, however looking at the
driver it seems like it's only the little bit at the start to optimise
the trasfer width in CPU mode which looks like it could easily be moved
to a prepare_message() callback and save a bunch of code so it'd be good
to convert it.  I guess it shouldn't be strictly essential though.
