 Andrew> Why?  What user-visible problem (if any) does this fix?

I slightly reworded the commit text in the update I sent last night
(no code changes), but David apparently missed it:

[PATCH] spi_mpc83xx: handle odd transfer sizes

Error out on transfer length != multiple of bytes per word with -EINVAL.
Fixes a buffer overrun crash if length < bytes per word.


I hope this is clearer - You can update the text in the patch if you
like.

Sorry, It's 2.6.27 material because of the crash.
