Subject: [PATCH 5.11 451/775] spi: Skip zero-length transfers in spi_transfer_one_message()

From: Nicolas Saenz Julienne <nsaenzjulienne@...e.de>

[ Upstream commit b306320322c9cfaa465bc2c7367acf6072b1ac0e ]

With the introduction of 26751de25d25 ("spi: bcm2835: Micro-optimise
FIFO loops") it has become apparent that some users might initiate
zero-length SPI transfers. A fact the micro-optimization omitted, and
which turned out to cause crashes[1].

Instead of changing the micro-optimization itself, use a bigger hammer
and skip zero-length transfers altogether for drivers using the default
transfer_one_message() implementation.
