Splitting transfers is an expensive operation so we can potentially optimize it by doing it only once per optimization of the message instead of repeating each time the message is transferred. The transfer splitting functions are currently the only user of spi_res_alloc() so spi_res_release() can be safely moved at this time from spi_finalize_current_message() to spi_unoptimize_message(). The doc comments of the public functions for splitting transfers are also updated so that callers will know when it is safe to call them to ensure proper resource management.

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.
