I guess it could happen, but I would consider it to be very rare. There are
a few examples of multiple transfers in the kernel. But most of them look like

struct spi_message msg;
struct spi_transfer xfer_foo;
struct spi_transfer xfer_bar;

...
spi_message_add_tail(&xfer_foo, &msg);
spi_message_add_tail(&xfer_bar, &msg);

So the transformation can't be applied here anyway.

Do you have an idea how to change the rule to work with multiple
transfers/messages per function? If it would make the cocci file more
complex I wouldn't bother to take care of it, since it basically has no
practical use.
