Yup, I've cooked up two patches over the weekend, one bcm2835 short-term
fix for-5.13 and one long-term solution for-5.14, they're on this branch:

https://github.com/l1k/linux/commits/bcm2835_spi_limit

Just needs some more polishing and testing before submission (hopefully
in the second half of this week).

Right, I initially missed that but found it and then prepared the patch
on the above-linked branch.

Thanks,
