Subject: Applied "spi: dw: use "smp_mb()" to avoid sending spi data error" to the spi tree

The patch

   spi: dw: use "smp_mb()" to avoid sending spi data error

has been applied to the spi tree at

   https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/broonie/spi.git for-5.5

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

Subject: [PATCH] spi: dw: use "smp_mb()" to avoid sending spi data error

Because of out-of-order execution about some CPU architecture,
In this debug stage we find Completing spi interrupt enable ->
prodrucing TXEI interrupt -> running "interrupt_transfer" function
will prior to set "dw->rx and dws->rx_end" data, so this patch add
memory barrier to enable dw->rx and dw->rx_end to be visible and
solve to send SPI data error.
eg:
it will fix to this following low possibility error in testing environment
which using SPI control to connect TPM Modules

kernel: tpm tpm0: Operation Timed out
kernel: tpm tpm0: tpm_relinquish_locality: : error -1
