[PATCH] spi: bcm2835: fix overflow in calculation of transfer time

kernel at martin.sperl.org kernel at martin.sperl.org
Wed Jul 29 00:34:10 PDT 2015


From: Martin Sperl <kernel at martin.sperl.org>

This resulted in the use of polling mode when other approaches
(dma or interrupts) would have been more appropriate.

Happened for transfers longer than 477 bytes.
