The patch
spi: davinci: do not use DMA for vmalloc'ed buffers
has been applied to the spi tree at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/broonie/spi.git
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: davinci: do not use DMA for vmalloc'ed buffers
Using vmalloc'ed buffers will fail since daVinci has
VIVT cache and only the kernel lowmem virtual address
is invalidated/flushed when performing DMA.
The virtual address returned from vmalloc() is not
invalidated/flushed and may contain stale data when
returning from spi_sync().
Fixes errors when running UBIFS over SPI NOR.
Revert this when all upper layer users of vmalloc'ed
buffers sent to SPI handles cache flushing/invalidating.
