The current SPI framework does not verify if the SPI device supports 8 IO mode when doing an 8-bit transfer. This patch adds a check to ensure that if the transfer tx_nbits or rx_nbits is 8, the SPI mode must support 8 IO. If not, an error is returned, preventing undefined behavior.

Thanks!
[1/1] spi: Add check for 8-bit transfer with 8 IO mode support commit: 710505212e3272396394f8cf78e3ddfd05df3f22
All being well this means that it will be integrated into the linux-next tree (usually sometime in the next 24 hours) and sent to Linus during the next merge window (or sooner if it is a bug fix), however if problems are discovered then the patch may be dropped or reverted.
You may get further e-mails resulting from automated or manual testing and review of the tree, please engage with people reporting problems and send followup patches addressing any issues that are reported if needed.
If any updates are required or you are submitting further changes they should be sent as incremental updates against current git, existing patches will not be replaced.
Please add any relevant lists and maintainers to the CCs when replying to this mail.
Thanks, Mark
