The patch spi: bcm2835aux: fix corruptions for longer spi transfers has been applied to the spi tree at https://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 73b114ee7db1750c0b535199fae383b109bd61d0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Martin Sperl <kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sat, 30 Mar 2019 09:31:00 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] spi: bcm2835aux: fix corruptions for longer spi transfers On long running tests with a mcp2517fd can controller it showed that on rare occations the data read shows corruptions for longer spi transfers. Example of a 22 byte transfer: expected (as captured on logic analyzer): FF FF 78 00 00 00 08 06 00 00 91 20 77 56 84 85 86 87 88 89 8a 8b read by the driver: FF FF 78 00 00 00 08 06 00 00 91 20 77 56 84 88 89 8a 00 00 8b 9b To fix this use BCM2835_AUX_SPI_STAT_RX_LVL to determine when we may read data from the fifo reliably without any corruption. Surprisingly the only values ever empirically read in BCM2835_AUX_SPI_STAT_RX_LVL are 0x00, 0x10, 0x20 and 0x30. So whenever the mask is not 0 we can read from the fifo in a safe manner. The patch has now been tested intensively and we are no longer able to reproduce the "RX" issue any longer. Fixes: 1ea29b39f4c812ec ("spi: bcm2835aux: add bcm2835 auxiliary spi device...")
