From: Torsten Fleischer <torfl6749@xxxxxxxxx> This patch has been added to the 3.18 stable tree. If you have any objections, please let us know. =============== [ Upstream commit 76e1d14b316d6f501ebc001e7a5d86b24ce5b615 ] Additionally to the current DMA transfer the PDC allows to set up a next DMA transfer. This is useful for larger SPI transfers. The driver currently waits for ENDRX as end of the transfer. But ENDRX is set when the current DMA transfer is done (RCR = 0), i.e. it doesn't include the next DMA transfer. Thus a subsequent SPI transfer could be started although there is currently a transfer in progress. This can cause invalid accesses to the SPI slave devices and to SPI transfer errors. This issue has been observed on a hardware with a M25P128 SPI NOR flash. So instead of ENDRX we should wait for RXBUFF. This flag is set if there is no more DMA transfer in progress (RCR = RNCR = 0).
