Now looking at cleaning things up so actually reading the code rather
than cut and paste. The message is somewhat 'novel'.

...

So we have a spi device that only talks in 1 bit words?
1) I'm amazed any spi controllers support that.
2) Doesn't look necessary from the data sheet google furnished me with.

Looks like it will quite happily work with 8 bit transfers. Suggested replacement code below.

static int as1531_message(struct spi_device *spi, int cmd, u16 *ret_value)
{
int status;
u8 cmd_send = cmd;
struct spi_message message;
struct spi_transfer x[2] = {
{
.len = 1,
/* this should be default anyway - so could drop */
.bits_per_word = 8,
/* This should be set in board config really */
.speed_hz = AS1531_SPI_SPEED,
.rx_buf = &cmd_send,
}, {
.len = 2,
.bits_per_word = 8,
.speed_hz = AS1531_SPI_SPEED,
.tx_buf = ret_value,
}
};

spi_message_init(&message);
spi_message_add_tail(&x[0], &message);
spi_message_add_tail(&x[1], &message);

status = spi_sync(spi, &message);
if (status < 0)
return status;

*ret_value = (be16_to_cpup(ret_value) >> 2) & 0xFFF;

return 0;
}

Obviously also requires changing the type of the element passed
as ret_value. Could set the bits_per_word of the second transfer
to 16 and avoid the endianness conversion, but I'm not sure how
many spi masters support that.
