The patch spi: fsl-lpspi: use wait_for_completion_timeout() while waiting transfer done has been applied to the spi tree at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/broonie/spi.git All being well this means that it will be integrated into the linux-next tree (usually sometime in the next 24 hours) and sent to Linus during the next merge window (or sooner if it is a bug fix), however if problems are discovered then the patch may be dropped or reverted. You may get further e-mails resulting from automated or manual testing and review of the tree, please engage with people reporting problems and send followup patches addressing any issues that are reported if needed. If any updates are required or you are submitting further changes they should be sent as incremental updates against current git, existing patches will not be replaced. Please add any relevant lists and maintainers to the CCs when replying to this mail. Thanks, Mark >From d2ad0a62d4ee235fbfcf7816a0bee5d09da8ddbe Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Gao Pan <pandy.gao@xxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 28 Nov 2016 11:02:59 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] spi: fsl-lpspi: use wait_for_completion_timeout() while waiting transfer done It's a potential problem to use wait_for_completion() because the completion condition may never come. Thus, it's better to repalce wait_for_completion() with wait_for_completion_timeout().
