Mark, can be this applied?

Please don't send content free pings and please allow a reasonable time
for review. People get busy, go on holiday, attend conferences and so
on so unless there is some reason for urgency (like critical bug fixes)
please allow at least a couple of weeks for review. If there have been
review comments then people may be waiting for those to be addressed.
Sending content free pings adds to the mail volume (if they are seen at
all) which is often the problem and since they can't be reviewed
directly if something has gone wrong you'll have to resend the patches
anyway, so sending again is generally a better approach though there are
some other maintainers who like them - if in doubt look at how patches
for the subsystem are normally handled.

In DMA mode we have a maximum transfer size, past that the driver falls back to PIO (see the check at the top of pxa2xx_spi_transfer_one). Falling back to PIO for big transfers defeats the point of a dma engine, hence set the max transfer size to inform spi clients that they need to do something smarter. This was uncovered by the drm_mipi_dbi spi panel code, which does large spi transfers, but stopped splitting them after: commit e143364b4c1774f68e923a5a0bb0fca28ac25888 Author: Noralf Trønnes <noralf@tronnes.org> Date: Fri Jul 19 17:59:10 2019 +0200 drm/tinydrm: Remove tinydrm_spi_max_transfer_size() After this commit the code relied on the spi core to split transfers into max dma-able blocks, which also papered over the PIO fallback issue. Fix this by setting the overall max transfer size to the DMA limit, but only when the controller runs in DMA mode.
