Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
spi: spi-mem: Add fix to avoid divide error
For some SPI flash memory operations, dummy bytes are not mandatory. For
example, in Winbond SPINAND flash memory devices, the `write_cache` and
`update_cache` operation variants have zero dummy bytes. Calculating the
duration for SPI memory operations with zero dummy bytes causes
a divide error when `ncycles` is calculated in the
spi_mem_calc_op_duration().
Add changes to skip the 'ncylcles' calculation for zero dummy bytes.
Following divide error is fixed by this change:
Oops: divide error: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP NOPTI
