6.16-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

commit 6d07bee10e4bdd043ec7152cbbb9deb27033c9e2 upstream.
If copy_from_user() fails, write() currently returns -EFAULT, but any partially written data leaves the TX FIFO in an inconsistent state. Subsequent write() calls then fail with "transmit length mismatch" errors.
Once partial data is written to the hardware FIFO, it cannot be removed without a TX reset. Commit c6e8d85fafa7 ("staging: axis-fifo: Remove hardware resets for user errors") removed a full FIFO reset for this case, which fixed a potential RX data loss, but introduced this TX issue.
Fix this by introducing a bounce buffer: copy the full packet from userspace first, and write to the hardware FIFO only if the copy was successful.
