6.7-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Hugo Villeneuve <hvilleneuve@xxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 9915753037eba7135b209fef4f2afeca841af816 upstream. Commit cc4c1d05eb10 ("sc16is7xx: Properly resume TX after stop") changed behavior to unconditionnaly set the THRI interrupt in sc16is7xx_tx_proc(). For example when sending a 65 bytes message, and assuming the Tx FIFO is initially empty, sc16is7xx_handle_tx() will write the first 64 bytes of the message to the FIFO and sc16is7xx_tx_proc() will then activate THRI. When the THRI IRQ is fired, the driver will write the remaining byte of the message to the FIFO, and disable THRI by calling sc16is7xx_stop_tx(). When sending a 2 bytes message, sc16is7xx_handle_tx() will write the 2 bytes of the message to the FIFO and call sc16is7xx_stop_tx(), disabling THRI. After sc16is7xx_handle_tx() exits, control returns to sc16is7xx_tx_proc() which will unconditionally set THRI. When the THRI IRQ is fired, the driver simply acknowledges the interrupt and does nothing more, since all the data has already been written to the FIFO. This results in 2 register writes and 4 register reads all for nothing and taking precious cycles from the I2C/SPI bus. Fix this by enabling the THRI interrupt only when we fill the Tx FIFO to its maximum capacity and there are remaining bytes to send in the message.
