The queue worker always needs to be kicked one final time after a transfer is done in order to transition to idle (ctlr->busy = false). Commit 69fa95905d40 ("spi: Ensure the io_mutex is held until spi_finalize_current_message()") moved this code into __spi_pump_messages(), but it was executed only if the transfer was successful. This condition check causes ctlr-busy to stay true in case of a failed transfer. This in turn causes that no new work is ever scheduled to the work queue.
