PATCH 1/1 spi: pxa2xx_spi.c fix DMA mapping sequence

From: Ned Forrester <nforrester-/[email protected]>

Fixes a bug in pxa2xx_spi.c when operating in direct memory access (DMA) mode. The transmit and receive buffers are allowed to be the same or to overlap, but pxa2xx_spi.c fails if this is attempted in DMA mode because it performs mapping of the rx and tx buffers in the wrong order. By mapping DMA_FROM_DEVICE before DMA_TO_DEVICE, it invalidates the cache before flushing it. The patch corrects the order of mapping. This bug exists in all versions of pxa2xx_spi.c

A version of this patch has been tested on kernel 2.6.20 using verification of loopback data with: random transfer length, random bits-per-word, random positive offsets (both larger and smaller than transfer length) between the start of the rx and tx buffers, and varying clock rates.

This patch applies to kernels 2.6.27 and 2.6.28. A separate patch is required for 2.6.20 through 2.6.26.

David,

Assuming that you accept this patch, may I attach your Ack: and forward this to stable along with a version for kernels older than 2.6.27, or would you prefer to forward this to stable directly and for me to also post the the older patch to spi-devel-general for your attention?

I sent it along with some cosmetic tweaks (comments) ... thanks!

Let me see the patch, then I'll ack ... note that you should hold off sending that until the 2.6.27-stable patch gets sent.
