Thanks for taking such a close look. I haven't had the time to follow up.
Indeed, the ISR, and therefore dspi_fifo_read, can execute before
dspi->words_in_flight was populated correctly. And bad things will
happen in that case.
But I wouldn't introduce a spin lock that disables interrupts on the
local CPU just for that - it's too complicated for this driver.
I would just keep the SPI interrupt quiesced via SPI_RSER and enable
it only once it's safe, aka after updating dspi->words_in_flight.

Thanks,
-Vladimir
