I guess you should specify that this needs to be done with clock-names
too then?

I would expect a new Kconfig symbol for this.

data is available.

It seems like this hardware is only able to handle bidirectional
operation - this is actually quite common and isn't always as simple as
it is here. Can I persuade you to put something in the core which
provides dummy data buffers for this case? I was thinking flags like
must_tx and must_rx or something but didn't get around to this yet.

If you implement this using transfer_one() (as you should) the core will
do this for you.

This looks like an overflow - a log message would be helpful for users
and you should possibly be flagging an error on the current transfer.

devm_ioremap_resource() is nicer in that it returns an error and then
you don't need to log either since it's noisy itself.

Don't overwrite the error code.

Does this really need to be fatal (or done at all)? There seems to be
another reasonably flexible divider in the IP and it's more common to
either set this per transfer to something that rounds nicely or just use
the default and rely on the dividers.

I would recommend moving these to runtime PM so the clocks are only
active when the device is actually in use, the core will do the runtime
PM management if you set auto_runtime_pm so it's really easy to
implement.

Similarly here the IP could be kept in reset when not in use.
