I think it was. To quote

After upgrade from kernel 6.5.11 to 6.6.1 the spi-devices on my hw
colibri-imx6dl and verdin-imx8mm are not working anymore (TPM2 and
SPI-SRAM).

Analyzing the problem showed that the 2 commits introduced the problem:

spi: Increase imx51 ecspi burst length based on transfer length
15a6af94a2779d5dfb42ee4bfac858ea8e964a3f

spi: imx: Take in account bits per word instead of assuming 8-bits
5f66db08cbd3ca471c66bacb0282902c79db9274

Reverting the commits solved the problem.

Or am I missing something here?
