i felt strange too at the first look from internal gerrit. qipan told
me there is one:
drivers/spi/spidev.c

static int spidev_message(struct spidev_data *spidev,
                struct spi_ioc_transfer *u_xfers, unsigned n_xfers)
{
buf = spidev->buffer;
..
k_tmp->rx_buf = buf;
...
k_tmp->tx_buf = buf;
...
spi_message_add_tail(k_tmp, &msg);

spidev_sync(spidev, &msg);
}
