I think we already addressed this possibility back in 2016, see 
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-spi/20160824111206.GD22076@xxxxxxxxxxxxx/

The conclusion was that it was not possible to accomplish it with cs_change.

Or did we miss something at that time ?

My understanding is that if you set cs_change for any transfer of a 
message except the last, then CS goes OFF then ON again between the said 
transfer and the following one. If you set cs_change for the last 
transfer of a message, then CS stays ON until next message instead of 
going OFF as usual.

My need is to transfer a fake byte with CS off at the end of a message. 
I still can't see how cs_change can achieve that.

Thanks
Christophe
