Understood, and agreed. Any idea on a time frame for release ?

I don't understand how they can be disabled, as a call is made to the DMA configuration macros which dereference the dmatx and dmarx pointers - so there is nothing safe to set them to. If you add a check for NULL, you can ignore the calls to the dma configuration macros. That would work and be the most flexible. How about that?

Sorry, I meant the "txdmamode" field, there you can change the DMA trigger channel to a timer channel (or nothing and then do direct writes the the SPI DR register).
