first of all thank you for the review.

I was afraid that this block will not be taken too well since I'm trying to
achieve something that the SPI subsystem was not designed for.

the code does exactly what the datasheet specs require on my SPI controller, but
indeed the API might change at some point making the code non-functional.

by 'sending something' you mean on the SPI bus or are you pushing me toward a
patch to SPI core?

unfortunately this chip feature is a special request only, there is no way for
me to test what happens if the wakeup sequence also contains a payload (in both
i2c and spi cases). the i2c wakeup code was inspired from the abp060mg driver,
but I can't reach its maintainer to ask for details. I also can't seem to reach
Honeywell. oh well.

best regards,
peter
