Subject: [PATCH 3.11 080/233] spidev: fix hang when transfer_one_message fails

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

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

From: Daniel Santos <daniel.santos@...ox.com>

commit e120cc0dcf2880a4c5c0a6cb27b655600a1cfa1d upstream.

This corrects a problem in spi_pump_messages() that leads to an spi
message hanging forever when a call to transfer_one_message() fails.
This failure occurs in my MCP2210 driver when the cs_change bit is set
on the last transfer in a message, an operation which the hardware does
not support.

Rationale
Since the transfer_one_message() returns an int, we must presume that it
may fail.  If transfer_one_message() should never fail, it should return
void.  Thus, calls to transfer_one_message() should properly manage a
failure.

Fixes: ffbbdd21329f3 (spi: create a message queueing infrastructure)
