disabling of DMA is not an option, because high throughput required for
SPI bus to communicate with DSPs.

I'm aware of ERR009165, but as I write some minutes earlier to list,
spi0 (alias for ecspi1) and spi1 (alias for ecspi2) work flawless, while
spi4 (alias for ecspi5) fails very fast.

Does same SDMA script used for all SPI interfaces or scripts are different?

Best wishes.
