qspi_transfer_in() does:
while (n > 0) {
len = qspi_set_receive_trigger(rspi, n);
// len will be <= n
if (len == QSPI_BUFFER_SIZE) {
// receive blocks of len bytes
...
} else {
// receive n (not len) bytes
ret = rspi_pio_transfer(rspi, NULL, rx, n);
//
if (ret < 0)
return ret;
// bogus write (which your patch removes: OK)
*rx++ = ret;
// here we should also return (see below why)
// (in qspi_transfer_out() we should "break")
}
// Either we received a block of len bytes
// or we received n bytes, and the below is wrong if len < n!
n -= len;
// If len was < n, n will be non-zero, and we will receive more
// bytes in the next iteration
}
return 0;
}
