This is just plain broken, *many* SPI devices attach meaning to
chip select edges - for example register writes will typically
have the register address followed by one or more register values
for sequential registers.  Bouncing chip select in the middle of
transfer will corrupt data.  If the device can't handle larger
transfers it needs to advertise this limit and refuse to handle
them.
