[PATCH v2 1/2] spi: spi-ti-qspi: Fix FLEN and WLEN settings if bits_per_word is overridden

[PATCH v2 1/2] spi: spi-ti-qspi: Fix FLEN and WLEN settings if bits_per_word is overridden

[Ben Hutchings]

Each transfer can specify 8, 16 or 32 bits per word independently of
the default for the device being addressed.  However, currently we
calculate the number of words in the frame assuming that the word size
is the device default.

If multiple transfers in the same message have differing
bits_per_word, we bitwise-or the different values in the WLEN register
field.

Fix both of these.  Also rename 'frame_length' to 'frame_len_words' to
make clear that it's not a byte count like spi_message::frame_length.

[PATCH v2 2/2] spi: spi-ti-qspi: Handle truncated frames properly

[Ben Hutchings]

We clamp frame_len_words to a maximum of 4096, but do not actually
limit the number of words written or read through the DATA registers
or the length added to spi_message::actual_length.  This results in
silent data corruption for commands longer than this maximum.

Recalculate the length of each transfer, taking frame_len_words into
account.  Use this length in qspi_{read,write}_msg(), and to increment
spi_message::actual_length.

I've applied this but it required some defuzzing, it appears to have
been generated against an old kernel.

I did ask you to fix this to just / 8 so it's more readable :/

Applied "spi: spi-ti-qspi: Handle truncated frames properly" to the spi tree

[Mark Brown]

The patch

   spi: spi-ti-qspi: Handle truncated frames properly

has been applied to the spi tree at

   git://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

Not explicitly.  And that would be inconsistent with every other place
this driver bits_per_word to a byte count.

If someone is reviewing code and showing a different way of doing things
it is reasonable to interpret that as a request to change things.  It's

consistent with unclear code.
