AFAICT (even with the 2nd patch), you never really use this field. You
just set it/increment it, but don't use it for anything. Kill it?
It is used in the write path, I think I meant to use it for subpage
writes, when I thought it would just mean to transfer only parts of the
page to the controller.
Ah, you're right. Sorry, I missed that. I got mixed up seeing most of
your uses of 'page_sz' were for a local variable of the same name, not
this field.
However, as the subpage discussion basically concluded in not using it
for now on this controller, we can as well transfer the complete page
(page_sz). Or is there another case in which vf610_nfc_write_buf could
be called with less than page_sz?
I'll leave that up to you. I'm perfectly fine leaving it in, now that I
see its proper use. Just in case things change in the future, I think it
does help to clarify the flow of information a little. Although, I might
recommend a change in naming, since it could get confused with the
actual page size -- which is normally constant -- whereas this field
changes dynamically depending on the command-in-flight.

Perhaps the struct could have 'write_len' (to help represent an action)
and the local variable in vf610_nfc_command() could be 'tfr_len' (to
distinguish how it isn't necessarily identical to 'write_len')? Just
throwing (likely bad) ideas out there.

Brian
