Subject: [PATCH 4.9 12/21] spi: xilinx: Detect stall with Unknown commands

4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Ricardo Ribalda Delgado <ricardo.ribalda@...il.com>

commit 5a1314fa697fc65cefaba64cd4699bfc3e6882a6 upstream.

When the core is configured in C_SPI_MODE > 0, it integrates a
lookup table that automatically configures the core in dual or quad mode
based on the command (first byte on the tx fifo).

Unfortunately, that list mode_?_memoy_*.mif does not contain all the
supported commands by the flash.

Since 4.14 spi-nor automatically tries to probe the flash using SFDP
(command 0x5a), and that command is not part of the list_mode table.

Whit the right combination of C_SPI_MODE and C_SPI_MEMORY this leads
into a stall that can only be recovered with a soft rest.

This patch detects this kind of stall and returns -EIO to the caller on
those commands. spi-nor can handle this error properly:

m25p80 spi0.0: Detected stall. Check C_SPI_MODE and C_SPI_MEMORY. 0x21 0x2404
m25p80 spi0.0: SPI transfer failed: -5
spi_master spi0: failed to transfer one message from queue
m25p80 spi0.0: s25sl064p (8192 Kbytes)
