k1_spi_dma_one() currently submits the TX DMA descriptor to the DMA engine
before preparing the RX DMA descriptor. If preparing the RX descriptor
subsequently fails, the function jumps to the fallback error path without
canceling or aborting the already submitted TX DMA descriptor.

Fix this by preparing both the TX and RX descriptors before submitting
either of them to the DMA engine.

Thanks!

[1/1] spi: spacemit: prepare both DMA descriptors before submitting
      https://git.kernel.org/broonie/spi/c/d3c87e71539c

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
