If there is an issue with the AXI SPI Engine hardware a scheduled transfer might never be completed and spi_sync() will block forever. This due to the uninterruptible wait for completion waiting for the spi_finalize_current_message() that never comes. Add a watchdog timer that will abort a transfer 5 seconds after it has been started. This will potentially leave the hardware in a broken state but it allows software to recover and allow to better diagnose the underlying issue.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
