+From: Gabor Juhos <juhosg@openwrt.org>
+Subject: spi-fsl-espi: avoid frequent high order allocations
+
+The driver allocates 64KiB of memory fro a local buffer before 
+each transfer and releases that afterwards. When the memory is 
+fragmented this allocation often fails and causes a warning like 
+this:
