Both of the if statements are used to determine the return value of fsl_lpspi_dma_init(), so I remove this line.

Yes, I have observed this issue. 
The reason for this problem is that some older platforms are designed to combine LPSPI interrupt and LPSPI DMA channel interrupt into one shared interrupt number because the IRQ interrupt number is not enough.
When the problem occurs, we can observe that if the interrupt comes too many times and too quickly, it will trigger the IRQ in the LPSPI driver while DMA is still processing the previous DMA request(through the shared dma channel interrupt), resulting in data messing.
