Log: Prevent submission of empty read requests in linux_spi. The submission of zero-sized read requests in a write-only transaction fails at least for omap2_mcspi drivers and is pointless in general. This patch does not address the implementation of zero-sized writes (which would need to skip the write command), as there are no flash transactions not starting with a command.
