About the SPI driver:
From Documentation/spi/spi-summary:
"At this writing, Linux has no slave side programming interface."
So there's no SPI framwork that covers the slave side.
This what I mean use the SPI framework and add the SPI Slave support there
[CCing spi-devel]

If you talk about SPI slaves, be sure to have read Grant's comments in

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.spi.devel/7401

to see what would be needed for slave support. Short note: Would be
seperate subsystem, master subsystem is of limited use. I think a few
slave-drivers would be nice to evaluate, so one can get a feeling if a
subsystem makes sense and if so, how it could look like.

Detlef, have you posted your slave driver so far?

Regards,

   Wolfram
