But that's used to fix one patch [05/13]of the v8 patch set. To be honest, I'm also
not sure how to handle it so that I merged both into first v9....For now, I think you
are right, since 'fallback pio' patch could be independent this series. Will resend in
v10.

Okay, will remove it.

'transfer->rx_sg.sgl' condition check that's the case fallback PIO after DMA transfer
failed. But the spi core still think the buffer should be in 'device' while spi driver
touch it by PIO(CPU), so sync it back to device to ensure all received data flush to DDR.
