[ Upstream commit 73b114ee7db1750c0b535199fae383b109bd61d0 ]
On long running tests with a mcp2517fd can controller it showed that
on rare occations the data read shows corruptions for longer spi transfers.
Example of a 22 byte transfer:
expected (as captured on logic analyzer):
FF FF 78 00 00 00 08 06 00 00 91 20 77 56 84 85 86 87 88 89 8a 8b
read by the driver:
FF FF 78 00 00 00 08 06 00 00 91 20 77 56 84 88 89 8a 00 00 8b 9b
To fix this use BCM2835_AUX_SPI_STAT_RX_LVL to determine when we may
read data from the fifo reliably without any corruption.
Surprisingly the only values ever empirically read in
BCM2835_AUX_SPI_STAT_RX_LVL are 0x00, 0x10, 0x20 and 0x30.
So whenever the mask is not 0 we can read from the fifo in a safe manner.
The patch has now been tested intensively and we are no longer
able to reproduce the "RX" issue any longer.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
