+Subject: [PATCH] spi: expose master transfer size limitation.
+
+On some SPI controllers it is not feasible to transfer arbitrary amount
+of data at once.
+
+When the limit on transfer size is a few kilobytes at least it makes
+sense to use the SPI hardware rather than reverting to gpio driver.
+
+The protocol drivers need a way to check that they do not sent overly
+long messages, though.
