Hello Robin,

we have tried out this series, and there seems to be an issue with the
PIO fallback. We are testing on an i.MX6Q board, and our kernel is a
mostly-unmodified 5.4, on which we backported all SDMA patches from
next-20200602 (imx-sdma.c is identical to next-20200602 version), and
then applied this whole series.

We build the SDMA driver as a kernel module, which is loaded by udev,
so the root filesystem is ready and the SDMA firmware can be loaded.
The behaviour we're seeing is the following:

1. As long as the SDMA driver is not loaded, initializing spi_imx will
be deferred
2. imx_sdma is loaded. The SDMA firmware is not yet loaded at this
point
3. spi_imx is initialized and an SPI-NOR flash is probed. To load the
BFPT, the driver will attempt to use DMA; this will fail with EINVAL as
long as the SDMA firmware is not ready, so the fallback to PIO happens
(4. SDMA firmware is ready, subsequent SPI transfers use DMA)

The problem happens in step 3: Whenever the driver falls back to PIO,
the received data is corrupt. The behaviour is specific to the
fallback: When I disable DMA completely via spi_imx.use_dma, or when
the timing is lucky and the SDMA firmware gets loaded before the flash
is probed, no corruption can be observed.

Kind regards,
Matthias
