The patch spi: atmel: init FIFOs before spi enable has been applied to the spi tree at https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/broonie/spi.git All being well this means that it will be integrated into the linux-next tree (usually sometime in the next 24 hours) and sent to Linus during the next merge window (or sooner if it is a bug fix), however if problems are discovered then the patch may be dropped or reverted. You may get further e-mails resulting from automated or manual testing and review of the tree, please engage with people reporting problems and send followup patches addressing any issues that are reported if needed. If any updates are required or you are submitting further changes they should be sent as incremental updates against current git, existing patches will not be replaced. Please add any relevant lists and maintainers to the CCs when replying to this mail. Thanks, Mark >From 9581329eff9db72ab4fbb46a594fd7fdda3c51b0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eugen Hristev <eugen.hristev@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 27 Feb 2018 12:25:07 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] spi: atmel: init FIFOs before spi enable The datasheet recommends initializing FIFOs before SPI enable. If we do not do it like this, there may be a strange behavior. We noticed that DMA does not work properly with FIFOs if we do not clear them beforehand or enable them before SPIEN.
