+Subject: [PATCH] mtd: m25p80: use single SPI message for writing data
+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
+
+On all 3 tested Northstar devices with following flash memories:
+mx25l6405d (8192 Kbytes)
+mx25l12805d (16384 Kbytes)
+mx25l25635e (32768 Kbytes)
+I noticed writing to be broken. Not a single bit was changed leaving all
+bytes set to 0xff.
+
+This is most likely some problem related to the SPI controller or its
+driver. Using a single SPI message seems to workaround this. Of course
+it's not perfect solution as copying whole data into a new buffer makes
+writing slower.
