That's not very verbose, plese tell atleast tell which SPI driver it's for.

The kernel already has a type (in <linux/kernel.h>) used in many places in the
kernel, called "u64" so this gets very confusing.

Can you call it something else?

BTW: you could then s/uint64_t/u64 and use that u64.
(Some don't like the three-letter types so no big deal.)

This boggles my mind, but I see there are many drivers doing this,
but using uint64_t looks overly scary.

Can't you break it apart using a set of u32's like in
drivers/net/ethernet/micrel/ksz884x.c?
