Some docs that need updating.  Otherwise I wonder if we should delay
the _tx variants until there is a driver using them.

I'm sure you have one on the way and there is an argument that it makes
sense to review rx and tx together, but still good to only add code
when it's used.

Run kernel-doc over these. There is no spi here.

Would be better supported by actual driver code using it.  Maybe it is better to bring
in TX only with the first user?
