+/****************************************************************************
+ * Name: sam_spi[n]cmddata
+ *
+ * Description:
+ *   Some SPI devices require an additional control to determine if the SPI
+ *   data being sent is a command or is data.  If CONFIG_SPI_CMDDATA then
+ *   this function will be called to different be command and data transfers.
+ *
+ *   This is often needed, for example, by LCD drivers.  Some LCD hardware
+ *   may be configured to use 9-bit data transfers with the 9th bit
+ *   indicating command or data.  That same hardware may be configurable,
+ *   instead, to use 8-bit data but to require an additional, board-
+ *   specific GPIO control to distinguish command and data.  This function
+ *   would be needed in that latter case.
+ *
+ * Input Parameters:
+ *   dev - SPI device info
+ *   devid - Identifies the (logical) device
+ *
+ * Returned Value:
+ *   Zero on success; a negated errno on failure.
