Thanks for your comment.
I considered changing to the fifo_lvl_mask to 1ff as you mentioned.
But I  think that the fifo_lvl_mask reflects the actual FIFO capacity
in the SPI driver.
For the failing channels the FIFO trigger level is 64 bytes and so i
retained that value.
In the driver it polls till the FIFO capacity level otherwise it goes
for DMA.So if we keep
the FIFO level as 1ff when the actual capacity is 7f then it fails.

Jassi what do you think about this?

Thanks&Regards
Padma
