[ Upstream commit 5442dcaa0d ]
This fixes a bug for messages containing both zero length and
unidirectional xfers.
The function spi_map_msg will allocate dummy tx and/or rx buffers
for use with unidirectional transfers when the hardware can only do
a bidirectional transfer. That dummy buffer will be used in place
of a NULL buffer even when the xfer length is 0.
Then in the function __spi_map_msg, if he hardware can dma,
the zero length xfer will have spi_map_buf called on the dummy
buffer.
Eventually, __sg_alloc_table is called and returns -EINVAL
because nents == 0.
This fix prevents the error by not using the dummy buffer when
the xfer length is zero.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
