spi: spl022: fix sleeping in interrupt context

Merge series from Nam Cao <namcao@linutronix.de>:

While running the spl022, I got the following warning:
BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at drivers/spi/spi.c:1428

This is because between spi transfers, spi_transfer_delay_exec() (who
may sleep if the delay is >10us) is called in interrupt context. This is
a problem for anyone who runs this driver and need more than 10us delay.

Patch 1 adds an error reporting mechanism, needed by patch 2 who switch
to use the default spi_transfer_one_message(), which fix the problem.

The series is tested with polling transfer mode and interrupt transfer
mode. I can't test the DMA mode, so some help testing here is very
appreciated.

docs: netdev: try to guide people on dealing with silence

There has been more than a few threads which went idle before
the merge window and now people came back to them and started
asking about next steps.

We currently tell people to be patient and not to repost too
often. Our "not too often", however, is still a few orders of
magnitude faster than other subsystems. Or so I feel after
hearing people talk about review rates at LPC.

Clarify in the doc that if the discussion went idle for a week
on netdev, 95% of the time there's no point waiting longer.

Merge tag 'net-next-6.7' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
"Core & protocols:

- Support usec resolution of TCP timestamps, enabled selectively by a
route attribute.

- Defer regular TCP ACK while processing socket backlog, try to send
a cumulative ACK at the end. Increase single TCP flow performance
on a 200Gbit NIC by 20% (100Gbit -> 120Gbit).

- The Fair Queuing (FQ) packet scheduler:
- add built-in 3 band prio / WRR scheduling
- support bypass if the qdisc is mostly idle (5% speed up for TCP RR)
- improve inactive flow reporting
- optimize the layout of structures for better cache locality

- Support TCP Authentication Option (RFC 5925, TCP-AO), a more modern
replacement for the old MD5 option.

- Add more retransmission timeout (RTO) related statistics to
TCP_INFO.

- Support sending fragmented skbs over vsock sockets.

- Make sure we send SIGPIPE for vsock sockets if socket was
shutdown().

- Add sysctl for ignoring lower limit on lifetime in Router
Advertisement PIO, based on an in-progress IETF draft.

- Add sysctl to control activation of TCP ping-pong mode.

- Add sysctl to make connection timeout in MPTCP configurable.

- Support rcvlowat and notsent_lowat on MPTCP sockets, to help apps
limit the number of wakeups.

- Support netlink GET for MDB (multicast forwarding), allowing user
space to request a single MDB entry instead of dumping the entire
table.

- Support selective FDB flushing in the VXLAN tunnel driver.

- Allow limiting learned FDB entries in bridges, prevent OOM attacks.

- Allow controlling via configfs netconsole targets which were
created via the kernel cmdline at boot, rather than via configfs at
runtime.

- Support multiple PTP timestamp event queue readers with different
filters.

- MCTP over I3C.

BPF:

- Add new veth-like netdevice where BPF program defines the logic of
the xmit routine. It can operate in L3 and L2 mode.

- Support exceptions - allow asserting conditions which should never
be true but are hard for the verifier to infer. With some extra
flexibility around handling of the exit / failure:

https://lwn.net/Articles/938435/

- Add support for local per-cpu kptr, allow allocating and storing
per-cpu objects in maps. Access to those objects operates on the
value for the current CPU.

This allows to deprecate local one-off implementations of per-CPU
storage like BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERCPU_CGROUP_STORAGE maps.

- Extend cgroup BPF sockaddr hooks for UNIX sockets. The use case is
for systemd to re-implement the LogNamespace feature which allows
running multiple instances of systemd-journald to process the logs
of different services.

- Enable open-coded task_vma iteration, after maple tree conversion
made it hard to directly walk VMAs in tracing programs.

- Add open-coded task, css_task and css iterator support. One of the
use cases is customizable OOM victim selection via BPF.

- Allow source address selection with bpf_*_fib_lookup().

- Add ability to pin BPF timer to the current CPU.

- Prevent creation of infinite loops by combining tail calls and
fentry/fexit programs.

- Add missed stats for kprobes to retrieve the number of missed
kprobe executions and subsequent executions of BPF programs.

- Inherit system settings for CPU security mitigations.

- Add BPF v4 CPU instruction support for arm32 and s390x.

Changes to common code:

- overflow: add DEFINE_FLEX() for on-stack definition of structs with
flexible array members.

- Process doc update with more guidance for reviewers.

Driver API:

- Simplify locking in WiFi (cfg80211 and mac80211 layers), use wiphy
mutex in most places and remove a lot of smaller locks.

- Create a common DPLL configuration API. Allow configuring and
querying state of PLL circuits used for clock syntonization, in
network time distribution.

- Unify fragmented and full page allocation APIs in page pool code.
Let drivers be ignorant of PAGE_SIZE.

- Rework PHY state machine to avoid races with calls to phy_stop().

- Notify DSA drivers of MAC address changes on user ports, improve
correctness of offloads which depend on matching port MAC
addresses.

- Allow antenna control on injected WiFi frames.

- Reduce the number of variants of napi_schedule().

- Simplify error handling when composing devlink health messages.

Misc:

- A lot of KCSAN data race "fixes", from Eric.

- A lot of __counted_by() annotations, from Kees.

- A lot of strncpy -> strscpy and printf format fixes.

- Replace master/slave terminology with conduit/user in DSA drivers.

- Handful of KUnit tests for netdev and WiFi core.

- AppleTalk COPS.

- AppleTalk ipddp.

docs: try to encourage (netdev?) reviewers

Add a section to netdev maintainer doc encouraging reviewers
to chime in on the mailing list.

The questions about "when is it okay to share feedback"
keep coming up (most recently at netconf) and the answer
is "pretty much always".

with reviews a little bit to add stuff we had been recommending

Pull networking updates from Paolo Abeni:
"Core:

- Increase size limits for to-be-sent skb frag allocations. This
allows tun, tap devices and packet sockets to better cope with
large writes operations

- Store netdevs in an xarray, to simplify iterating over netdevs

- Refactor nexthop selection for multipath routes

- Improve sched class lifetime handling

- Add backup nexthop ID support for bridge

- Implement drop reasons support in openvswitch

- Several data races annotations and fixes

- Constify the sk parameter of routing functions

- Prepend kernel version to netconsole message

Protocols:

- Implement support for TCP probing the peer being under memory
pressure

- Remove hard coded limitation on IPv6 specific info placement inside
the socket struct

- Get rid of sysctl_tcp_adv_win_scale and use an auto-estimated per
socket scaling factor

common information already populated in struct genl_info

- Extend and use the yaml devlink specs to [re]generate the split ops

- Introduce devlink selective dumps, to allow SF filtering SF based
on handle and other attributes

and address related queries via the ynl tool
