commit e0af98a7e025a7263ae7e50264f6f79ed29642a7 upstream.

Instantiated SPI device nodes are marked with OF_POPULATE. This was
introduced in bd6c164. On unloading, loaded device nodes will of course
be unmarked. The problem are nodes that fail during initialisation: If a
node fails, it won't be unloaded and hence not be unmarked.

If a SPI driver module is unloaded and reloaded, it will skip nodes that
failed before.

Skip device nodes that are already populated and mark them only in case
of success.

Note that the same issue exists for I2C.

commit 5c0ba57744b1422d528f19430dd66d6803cea86f upstream.

When we get a spurious interrupt in fsl_espi_irq, we end up
processing four uninitalized bytes of data, as shown in this
warning message:

   drivers/spi/spi-fsl-espi.c: In function 'fsl_espi_irq':
   drivers/spi/spi-fsl-espi.c:462:4: warning: 'rx_data' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]

This adds another check so we skip the data in this case.

commit 6999aeabbb703a81a204cb6f9f8f151759a99ac4 upstream.

The call sequence spi_alloc_master/spi_register_master/spi_unregister_master
is complete; it reduces the device reference count to zero, which and results
in device memory being freed. The subsequent call to spi_master_put is
unnecessary and results in an access to free memory. Drop it.

<title>spi: Prevent unexpected SPI time out due to arithmetic overflow</title>

<content type='text'>
When reading SPI flash as MTD device, the transfer length is
directly passed to the spi driver. If the requested data size
exceeds 512KB, it will cause the time out calculation to
overflow since transfer length is 32-bit unsigned integer.
This issue is resolved by using 64-bit unsigned integer
to perform the arithmetic.

Slave devices are not enumerated by ACPI data because the ACPI handle for the
core driver is NULL if it was enumerated by PCI.

Propagate firmware node handle of the PCI device to the platform device.

The conversion from a look-up table to a calculation for clock generator
parameters forgot to take into account that BRDV x 1/1 is valid only if
BRPS is x 1/1 or x 1/2, leading to undefined behavior (e.g. arbitrary
clock rates).

This limitation is documented for the MSIOF module in all supported
SH/R-Mobile and R-Car Gen2/Gen3 ARM SoCs.

Tested on r8a7791/koelsch and r8a7795/salvator-x.

Pull spi updates from Mark Brown:
 "Quite a lot of cleanup and maintainence work going on this release in
  various drivers, and also a fix for a nasty locking issue in the core:

   - A fix for locking issues when external drivers explicitly locked
     the bus with spi_bus_lock() - we were using the same lock to both
     control access to the physical bus in multi-threaded I/O operations
     and exclude multiple callers.

     Confusion between these two caused us to have scenarios where we
     were dropping locks.  These are fixed by splitting into two
     separate locks like should have been done originally, making
     everything much clearer and correct.

   - Support for DMA in spi_flash_read().

   - Support for instantiating spidev on ACPI systems, including some
     test devices used in Windows validation.

   - Use of the core DMA mapping functionality in the McSPI driver.

   - Start of support for ThunderX SPI controllers, involving a very big
     set of changes to the Cavium driver.

   - Support for Braswell, Exynos 5433, Kaby Lake, Merrifield, RK3036,
     RK3228, RK3368 controllers"

Pull spi updates from Mark Brown:
 "Quite a lot of cleanup and maintainence work going on this release in
  various drivers, and also a fix for a nasty locking issue in the core:

   - A fix for locking issues when external drivers explicitly locked
     the bus with spi_bus_lock() - we were using the same lock to both
     control access to the physical bus in multi-threaded I/O operations
     and exclude multiple callers.

     Confusion between these two caused us to have scenarios where we
     were dropping locks.  These are fixed by splitting into two
     separate locks like should have been done originally, making
     everything much clearer and correct.

   - Support for DMA in spi_flash_read().

   - Support for instantiating spidev on ACPI systems, including some
     test devices used in Windows validation.

   - Use of the core DMA mapping functionality in the McSPI driver.

   - Start of support for ThunderX SPI controllers, involving a very big
     set of changes to the Cavium driver.

   - Support for Braswell, Exynos 5433, Kaby Lake, Merrifield, RK3036,
     RK3228, RK3368 controllers"
