+Subject: [PATCH] spi: Dont call prepare/unprepare transfer if not populated
+
+Currently the prepare/unprepare transfer are called unconditionally.
+The assumption is that every driver using the spi core queue infrastructure
+has to populate the prepare and unprepare functions. This encourages
+drivers to populate empty functions to prevent crashing.
+This patch prevents the call to prepare/unprepare if not populated.
