This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled spi: spi-fsl-dspi: Remove unused chip->void_write_data to the 5.4-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: spi-spi-fsl-dspi-remove-unused-chip-void_write_data.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit df2e6e473b491dd495a008eb51e53dd40ad9c944 Author: Vladimir Oltean <vladimir.oltean@xxxxxxx> Date: Thu Mar 5 00:00:34 2020 +0200 spi: spi-fsl-dspi: Remove unused chip->void_write_data [ Upstream commit 6d6af5796e5d9a88ae83c9c753023bba61deb18b ] This variable has been present since the initial submission of the driver, and held, for some reason, the value of zero, to be sent on the wire in the case there wasn't any TX buffer for the current transfer. Since quite a while now, however, it isn't doing anything at all.
