zynq_spi is correct, soft_spi is not.

zynq_spi.c:
int spi_xfer(struct spi_slave *slave, unsigned int bitlen, const void *dout,
		void *din, unsigned long flags)
{
	const u8 *tx_buf = dout;
	u8 *rx_buf = din, buf;
			[...]
			if (tx_buf)
				buf = *tx_buf++;
			else
				buf = 0;
			[...]
			if (rx_buf)
				*rx_buf++ = buf;
			[...]

That breaks on soft_spi, hence the patch.
