If you now look in datasheet [0] at page 18. Look at Register Read Access. This is always two bytes. On MOSI there is at first byte the READ_COMMAND then follows on MISO the READ DATA. NOTE: Now when you spi controller supports full duplex of MISO/MOSI then the first byte is overwritten by PHY_STATUS. You can setup PHY_STATUS at SPI_CMD_MODE which is defaults to "empy, all bits zero". We don't using the PHY_STATUS thing in the driver, because this required that the spi controller supports full duplex. If you say now making ctx->trx.len = 1 solved some issue then I think the READ_COMMAND will be overwritten by READ DATA. But READ DATA should be placed after READ_COMMAND (inside the buffer). I think regmap uses the same behaviour also because, we set: .reg_bits = 8, .val_bits = 8, This exactly means some buffer [ READ_COMMAND (reg_bits) | READ DATA (val_bits)]. Don't know why it works for regmap and not for spi_async then. For me it looks like that the first byte which is READ_COMMAND will be overwritten by READ DATA, but READ DATA should be after READ_COMMAND. > -- in at86rf230_async_state_change_start, we check if (trx_state == > ctx->to_state), current state are: trx_state 8, ctx->to_state 3, Why > are we checking if ctx->to_state 3?
