Lucky how?
If tx len is 32 bytes or less it's config data which lives on the stack
so it's put in a kmalloc buffer, if it's more it's pixel data which
already comes in a kmalloc buffer.
Ideally we should have had a spi_sync_transfer_safe() that would check
if the buffer comes from the stack and allocates buffers for us so the
driver didn't have to do this. Alternatively the spi core could have
done this, maybe spi_map_buf() could have done it since it already has
special handling for vmalloc buffers.

I see that repaper_spi_transfer() is written so tx and rx can be both
set, but the driver never does tx and rx in the same transfer so it's
possible to use one txrx buffer. I'm not entirely convinced that it will
be more readable.
