Re: spi: imx: Increase imx51 ecspi burst length fails on imx6dl and imx8mm

Hi Stefan

Thanks for analyzing the problem and sorry for the delay, I had to simplify the code to a minimum so that I can send to you.
Now I was able to use spidev.
I have an environment with yocto kirstone 4.0.10.
Load the spi-dma (imx-sdma 302c0000.dma-controller: loaded firmware 4.5), run the spi_imx and the spidev as kenelmodule.

I run the code on a Toradex Verdin Development Board and use the imx8mm-verdin-nonwifi-dev.dts

To add the spidev I patched imx8mm-verdin.dtsi
