Hi

I did some debugging and I think the problem is that in this case bits_per_word is 8. So in
spi_imx_dma_configure the buswidth is set to DMA_SLAVE_BUSWIDTH_1_BYTE. But in
mx51_ecspi_prepare_transfer the BURST_LENGTH is now set to (spi_imx->count * spi_imx->bits_per_word
- 1)
before 15a6af94a2779d5dfb42ee4bfac858ea8e964a3f it was (spi_imx->bits_per_word - 1). Now the spi
transmits 4 byte per byte except for the first word. I added the following patch and it worked again
