4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Christophe Leroy <christophe.leroy@xxxxxx> commit abf221d2f51b8ce7b9959a8953f880a8b0a1400d upstream. spi_read() and spi_write() require DMA-safe memory. When CONFIG_VMAP_STACK is selected, those functions cannot be used with buffers on stack. This patch replaces calls to spi_read() and spi_write() by spi_write_then_read() which doesn't require DMA-safe buffers.
