I'm not really following the changes below..

We should still need to provide a length for this transfer.

That's unusual... cs_change being set on the last transfer means
the opposite of what it does for earlier transfers.

Or is the intent here to provide a performance hint that the device doesn't
care if the cs line goes inactive before stating a new set of transfers?
If so add a comment to say that perhaps.
