When dealing with a SPI controller driver that is sending more than 1 byte at once (or the entire buffer at once), and the SPI peripheral driver has requested timestamping for a byte in the middle of the buffer, we find that spi_take_timestamp_pre never records a "pre" timestamp. This happens because the function currently expects to be called with the "progress" argument >= to what the peripheral has requested to be timestamped. But clearly there are cases when that isn't going to fly. And since we can't change the past when we realize that the opportunity to take a "pre" timestamp has just passed and there isn't going to be another one, the approach taken is to keep recording the "pre" timestamp on each call, overwriting the previously recorded one until the "post" timestamp is also taken.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
