One of my pet peeves is that the Linux SPI driver framework has a very transactional API. You can read/write N bytes to a bus at a time.

Some SPI devices can stream out lots of data on the bus. I’m looking at you ADCs.

It’d be nice to have a stream style API for that. Not sure which Linux framework is best suited for that. Maybe IIO but something on those lines might be fun to explore.
