This mirrors the conventions used in other SPI drivers (kirkwood,
davinci, atmel, et al) where the din/dout buffer can be NULL when the
received/transmitted data isn't important.  This reduces the need for
allocating additional buffers when write-only/read-only functionality is
needed.

In the din == NULL case, the received data is simply not stored.  In the
dout == NULL case, zeroes are transmitted.

I'm not sure does this NULL buf config stuff will works all boards as
you listed.
I guess ie the reason the earlier code doesn't have this.

Does this tested on your board? any possibility to test others too.

Jean-Christophe, any comments here!
