Subject: Re: Applied "spi: davinci: enable DMA when channels are defined in
 DT" to the spi tree

Hello Mark,

To avoid data corruption issues with UBIFS volume over SPI NOR, DMA should not be used for vmalloc'ed buffers. The 5'th patch in my series fixes that:

0003-spi-davinci-use-rx-buffer-as-dummy-tx-buffer.patch
0004-spi-davinci-do-not-use-DMA-if-transfer-length-is-les.patch
0005-spi-davinci-do-not-use-DMA-for-vmalloc-ed-buffers.patch

Thanks,

Frode
