From c7de8500fd8ecbb544846dd5f11dca578c3777e1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Martin Sperl Date: Sat, 30 Mar 2019 09:30:59 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] spi: bcm2835aux: remove dangerous uncontrolled read of fifo This read of the fifo is a potential candidate for a race condition as the spi transfer is not necessarily finished and so can lead to an early read of the fifo that still misses data. So it has been removed. Fixes: 1ea29b39f4c812ec ("spi: bcm2835aux: add bcm2835 auxiliary spi device...")
