4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Eugen Hristev <eugen.hristev@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 9581329eff9db72ab4fbb46a594fd7fdda3c51b0 upstream. 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.
