Since pm_runtime_set_active and all the pm_runtime* callbacks in
general are defined to pretty much empty functions, how the
suspend/resume callbacks are called then? Obviously, we need them to
be run, hence why I added the select here, but now I'm seeing a
construct like what's following acceptable then?
pm_runtime_enable(&pdev->dev);
if (!pm_runtime_enabled(&pdev->dev))
sun6i_spi_runtime_resume(&pdev->dev);

Actually the IP asserts the CS automatically, the only thing you need
to do is to set which CS to use for your next transfer in some
register (which is what I'm doing after the !enable), and the CS will
be managed directly by the controller. Hence, there's no way to say
wether you want to enable it or not.
The controller allows to control the CS manually also, if that's the
preferred way of doing things.

At the moment, indeed. And that's the first thing I check in the
transfer_one function.
