If it's not broken for you without my patch, your spi bus driver doesn't
honor .cs_change in the last transfer. Out of interest: Which bus are
you using? I wonder if the driver should refuse the request if it cannot
honer .cs_change?! (spi-imx does honor it only if gpios are used as chip
select, the native chip selects cannot do that.)
