In commit 902481a78ee4 ("spi: spi-geni-qcom: Actually use our FIFO") I
explained that the maximum size we could program the FIFO was
"mas->tx_fifo_depth - 3" but that I chose "mas->tx_fifo_depth()"
because I was worried about decreased bandwidth.
Since that time:
* All the interconnect patches have landed, making things run at the
proper speed.
* I've done more measurements.
This lets me confirm that there's really no downside of using the FIFO
more. Specifically I did "flashrom -p ec -r /tmp/foo.bin" on a
Chromebook and averaged over several runs.
Before: It took 6.66 seconds and 59669 interrupts fired.
After: It took 6.66 seconds and 47992 interrupts fired.

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.
