I should have been more clear: The intr_level setting chooses which IRQ
is used to signal events.  If you change intr_level to 1 then you also
need to change the IRQ that is provided as a resource to the driver to
match.  On DM355 intr_level=0 corresponds to SPINT0_0 (42) and
intr_level=1 corresponds to SPINT0_1 (43).

I've got an idea what the problem is:  When I was writing the driver I
was looking at the DM355 for as an example of the "version 1" SPI
controller.  The DM355 doesn't have a TX interrupt, so I thought that
was a feature of the "version 1" controller.  However, DM365 does have a
TX interrupt, even though it has a "version 1" controller.  The
interrupt handler in the driver changes its processing based on whether
it is a "version 1" or "version 2" device, but obviously that's not
quite correct.

Could you try one experiment for me on the DM365 board?  Could you
change SPIINT_MASKINT to 0x0000015Fu and retest on the DM365 only?  This
should make it behave like the DM355.  If that fixes the problem, then
at least I know where the problem is.  I don't have a good idea how to
solve it yet, though.
