[PATCH net 1/2] net: qca_spi: fix receive buffer size check

From: Stefan Wahren
Date: Wed Nov 20 2019 - 12:29:55 EST


From: Michael Heimpold <michael.heimpold@xxxxxxxxxxx>

When receiving many or larger packets, e.g. when doing a file download,
it was observed that the read buffer size register reports up to 4 bytes
more than the current define allows in the check.
If this is the case, then no data transfer is initiated to receive the
packets (and thus to empty the buffer) which results in a stall of the
interface.

These 4 bytes are a hardware generated frame length which is prepended
to the actual frame, thus we have to respect it during our check.

Fixes: 026b907d58c4 ("net: qca_spi: Add available buffer space verification")
