[PATCH 3/3] spi: bcm2835: moved to the spi_transfer transformation to avoid HW restrictions

kernel at martin.sperl.org kernel at martin.sperl.org
Mon Nov 30 05:04:54 PST 2015


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

Moved to the new spi_transfer transformation methods to work arround
the HW restrictions in place arround DMA and alignment or max_length.
