With the introduction of26751de25d("spi: bcm2835: Micro-optimise FIFO loops") it has become apparent that some users might initiate zero-length SPI transfers. A fact the micro-optimization omitted, and which turned out to cause crashes[1]. Instead of changing the micro-optimization itself, use a bigger hammer and skip zero-length transfers altogether for drivers using the default transfer_one_message() implementation.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
