You comment now and previous mail doesn't match. better be specific.

For draining fifo.
We can find how much data available before reading from fifo and
assign to local rx.

static inline void sun4i_spi_drain_fifo(struct sun4i_spi_priv *priv, int len)
{
       u32 reg, cnt
       u8 byte;

        /* See how much data is available */
        reg = readl(&priv->regs->fifo_sta);
        reg &= SUN4I_FIFO_STA_RF_CNT_MASK;
        cnt = reg >> SUN4I_FIFO_STA_RF_CNT_BITS;

        if (len > cnt)
                len = cnt;

        while (len--) {
                byte = readb(&priv->regs->rxdata);
                *priv->rx_buf++ = byte;
        }
}

This can be perfect drain fifo, and this is what I'm trying to test
you with existing code and after your patch and verify whether all the
data perfectly drain or not before and after.

Hope you understand, this time.
