It'd be better to move this above the if (dir...) block
and use ratelimit/once it too

static int spi_xmit(struct spi_device *spi_dev, void *addr, const int len,
		    enum spi_direction dir)
{
	struct spi_message msg;
	int r;
	struct spi_transfer xfer = {
		.len	= len,
	};

	if (!spi_dev) {
		pr_err_once("SPI device is uninitialized\n");
		return -ENODEV;
	}

	if (dir == SPI_DIR_TX)
		xfer.tx_buf = addr;
	else
		xfer.rx_buf = addr;

	...
