Hello Jonathan

Of course your functions are much more simpler and beautiful than the
fat one I wrote, no doubt about it :). Just three comments

- Checking the one mask and the zero mask is the only way we have to
know if the chip is still there, The absense of that reply should
trigger an IO error or at least a retry. As you point out, the
zero/one mask is only violated on startup.  I just wanted to make it
more risk free, but if you believe it is more clear that way, lets
remove it

- I am not very fun of kmallocing data per write, specially when it is
part of the irq handler, and you expect this to be low latency. What
about allocating a buffer on init time, and use it with a mutex?

-I dont like the push error message to the bottom, but that will mean
a rewrite of the cma3000 driver, shall I go for it?


Thanks again, and  I will post the new version when you reply this :)
