I tried your v10 patches on next-20200722 with i.MX8MM and it mostly 
seems to work fine.

When I tried first, I had the imx-sdma driver compiled into the kernel, 
so it didn't load the firmware and fell back to the ROM scripts.
With this, SPI transactions work just fine, but I got the above error 
message printed continuously when sending data in SPI3 via spidev.

When I build imx-sdma as a module, the firmware is loaded correctly and 
everything works as expected.

Can you have a look at this and provide a fix?

Thanks,
Frieder
