Oh, this is an old school driver.  Glancing at the code I can't see any
particular reason why it's not using transfer_one(), you should just
convert the driver to that which will reduce the open coding and just
generally improve functionality.  You could add a callback to flush the
write FIFO or add that into the write function, I'm not sure if there's
a meaningful performance benefit there.

I think it's just old and based on having gone through staging likely
based on even older BSP code.
