Add Sascha in the loop. I don't think "* sizeof(u32)", since even 1 byte data
will consume one position of 32bit FIFO Thus if here
spi_imx->wml = spi_imx_get_fifosize(spi_imx) / 2 = 32, the threshold value
which judge DMA mode used or not should be 32 not 32 * 4.
Of course, it will not cause any function break since both DMA and PIO can work
,but I think we'd better correct it.
I agree, in case of 1 byte SPI word we do not need to multiply by 4.
But for 16 bit and 32 bit SPI words it's necessary. This part is
addressed in patch 3.
I could remove "* sizeof(u32)" for now.
I still think don't need *sizeof(u32) even for 16bit and 32bit, whatever bits
used as one spi word(<32bits), one spi word consume one position of SPI FIFO
(32bit).
Will be removed in V3 for this patch.
return true;
return false;
