Chris Lesiak 9618ab2001 spi: Fix zero length xfer bug
[ Upstream commit 5442dcaa0d ]

This fixes a bug for messages containing both zero length and
unidirectional xfers.

The function spi_map_msg will allocate dummy tx and/or rx buffers
for use with unidirectional transfers when the hardware can only do
a bidirectional transfer.  That dummy buffer will be used in place
of a NULL buffer even when the xfer length is 0.

Then in the function __spi_map_msg, if he hardware can dma,
the zero length xfer will have spi_map_buf called on the dummy
buffer.

Eventually, __sg_alloc_table is called and returns -EINVAL
because nents == 0.

This fix prevents the error by not using the dummy buffer when
the xfer length is zero.

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.
