Hello,

v3:
1. Update the PowerNV maintainer section to include hw/ssi/pnv_spi*
2. Use of PnvXferBuffer results in a additonal process overhead due to
frequent dynamic allocations and hence use an existing Fifo8 buffer.
3. Use a local variable seq_index and use it with in while loop instead
of repeatedly calling get_seq_index() and make sure s->seq_op doesn't
overrun when seq_index is incremented.

Tested:
passed make check and make check-avocado

Supersedes: <20240807202804.56038-1-philmd@linaro.org>

Hi Chalapathi,

To be clear, this fixes Coverity CID 1558831? A Resolves:
tag for the CID should be there, I guess it's patch 2?

I like patch 2, but since it is quite a significant change,
should we take the v2 series first which is much smaller,
then add this conversion on top of it?

If it was long-standing code that would be important (because
you don't want to introduce regressions or conflicts when
backporting fixes). Since this is a new model I guess there
is leeway to just take v3 as is.

Thanks,
Nick

Patches should have a tag :

Resolves: Coverity CID XYZZY

Thanks,
