+/**
+ * spi_async - asynchronous SPI transfer
+ * @spi: device with which data will be exchanged
+ * @message: describes the data transfers, including completion callback
+ * Context: any (irqs may be blocked, etc)
+ *
+ * This call may be used in_irq and other contexts which can't sleep,
+ * as well as from task contexts which can sleep.
+ *
+ * The completion callback is invoked in a context which can't sleep.
+ * Before that invocation, the value of message->status is undefined.
+ * When the callback is issued, message->status holds either zero (to
+ * indicate complete success) or a negative error code.  After that
+ * callback returns, the driver which issued the transfer request may
+ * deallocate the associated memory; it's no longer in use by any SPI
+ * core or controller driver code.
+ *
+ * Note that although all messages to a spi_device are handled in
+ * FIFO order, messages may go to different devices in other orders.
+ * Some device might be higher priority, or have various "hard" access
+ * time requirements, for example.
+ *
+ * On detection of any fault during the transfer, processing of
+ * the entire message is aborted, and the device is deselected.
+ * Until returning from the associated message completion callback,
+ * no other spi_message queued to that device will be processed.
+ * (This rule applies equally to all the synchronous transfer calls,
+ * which are wrappers around this core asynchronous primitive.)
