commit 69c7f4618c16b4678f8a4949b6bb5ace259c0033 upstream.
Any write with either dd or flashcp to a device driven by the
spear_smi.c driver will pass through the spear_smi_cpy_toio()
function. This function will get called for chunks of up to 256 bytes.
If the amount of data is smaller, we may have a problem if the data
length is not 4-byte aligned. In this situation, the kernel panics
during the memcpy:
# dd if=/dev/urandom bs=1001 count=1 of=/dev/mtd6
spear_smi_cpy_toio [620] dest c9070000, src c7be8800, len 256
spear_smi_cpy_toio [620] dest c9070100, src c7be8900, len 256
spear_smi_cpy_toio [620] dest c9070200, src c7be8a00, len 256
spear_smi_cpy_toio [620] dest c9070300, src c7be8b00, len 233
Unhandled fault: external abort on non-linefetch (0x808) at 0xc90703e8
[...]
PC is at memcpy+0xcc/0x330
The above error occurs because the implementation of memcpy_toio()
tries to optimize the number of I/O by writing 4 bytes at a time as
much as possible, until there are less than 4 bytes left and then
switches to word or byte writes.
Unfortunately, the specification states about the Write Burst mode:
"the next AHB Write request should point to the next
incremented address and should have the same size (byte,
half-word or word)"
This means ARM architecture implementation of memcpy_toio() cannot
reliably be used blindly here. Workaround this situation by update the
write path to stick to byte access when the burst length is not
multiple of 4.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
