[PATCH] serial: ifx6x60: ifx_spi_write don't need to do mrdy_assert when fifo is not empty.

[Jun Chen]

This patch check whether the fifo lenth is empty before writing new data to fifo.If condition
is true,ifx_spi_write need to trigger one mrdy_assert. If condition is false,the mrdy_assert
will be trigger by the next ifx_spi_io.

What tree did you make this against?  It doesn't apply to my tty-next
tree at all :(

Hi,
   I make this patch on your tty-next tree,  Do I need to make it on the branch 3.7-rc6 against?

No, my tty-next branch.  But something is odd, it didn't apply at all.
Please try again.

I'm not convinced this is safe. What stops the sending task from emptying
data out of the fifo between the kfifo_in_locked and the kfifo_len check ?

Can't you just check tx_count ?
