Hmm. In addition, isn't this broken (in that same function):

memcpy(local_buf, txbuf, n_tx);
x.tx_buf = local_buf;
x.rx_buf = local_buf;

/* do the i/o */
status = spi_sync(spi, &message);
if (status == 0)
memcpy(rxbuf, x.rx_buf + n_tx, n_rx);

shouldn't that 'rx_buf' setup be

x.rx_buf = local_buf + n_tx;

since the whole point was that we allocated a buffer that can hold _both_
the rx and tx parts? Especially as that final copy into the resulting
"rxbuf" thing uses that "+ n_tx" addition?
