There is ecspi ERR009165 on i.mx6/7 soc family, which cause FIFO
transfer to be send twice in DMA mode. Please get more information from:
https://www.nxp.com/docs/en/errata/IMX6DQCE.pdf. The workaround is adding
new sdma ram script which works in XCH  mode as PIO inside sdma instead
of SMC mode, meanwhile, 'TX_THRESHOLD' should be 0. The issue should be
exist on all legacy i.mx6/7 soc family before i.mx6ul.
NXP fix this design issue from i.mx6ul, so newer chips including i.mx6ul/
6ull/6sll do not need this workaroud anymore. All other i.mx6/7/8 chips
still need this workaroud. This patch set add new 'fsl,imx6ul-ecspi'
for ecspi driver and 'ecspi_fixed' in sdma driver to choose if need errata
or not.
  The first two reverted patches should be the same issue, though, it
seems 'fixed' by changing to other shp script. Hope Sean or Sascha could
have the chance to test this patch set if could fix their issues.
  Besides, enable sdma support for i.mx8mm/8mq and fix ecspi1 not work
on i.mx8mm because the event id is zero.

PS:
  Please get sdma firmware from below linux-firmware and copy it to your
local rootfs /lib/firmware/imx/sdma.
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/tree/imx/sdma

v2:
  1. add commit log for reverted patches.
  2. add comment for 'ecspi_fixed' in sdma driver.
  3. add 'fsl,imx6sll-ecspi' compatible instead of 'fsl,imx6ul-ecspi'
     rather than remove.
v3:
  1. confirm with design team make sure ERR009165 fixed on i.mx6ul/i.mx6ull
  /i.mx6sll, not fixed on i.mx8m/8mm and other i.mx6/7 legacy chips.
  Correct dts related dts patch in v2.
  2. clean eratta information in binding doc and new 'tx_glitch_fixed' flag
  in spi-imx driver to state ERR009165 fixed or not.
  3. Enlarge burst size to fifo size for tx since tx_wml set to 0 in the
  errata workaroud, thus improve performance as possible.
v4:
  1. add Ack tag from Mark and Vinod
  2. remove checking 'event_id1' zero as 'event_id0'.

I haven't tested this so asking the obvious question: what happens when
this series is applied without the RAM script being present on the
system? Will it render SPI unusable? I guess so since it changes the
flow between the SPI core and DMA controller. Can we somehow detect
that SDMA isn't using the correct RAM script and fall back to PIO mode
in the SPI driver in that case?

Currently using the RAM script is not an option in a lot of use-cases,
as it still breaks serial DMA support. The fix for the serial issue
really needs to be remove the broken serial script from the RAM
firmware, not change the serial driver to deal with the broken behavior
introduced by the RAM script.

Regards,
Lucas
