I've made som further investigations. The atmel_spi.c driver utilize PDC
(Peripheral DMA Controller) and when I was tracing the problem I
discovered that the interrupt indicating the PDC has written the data to
memory is fired before the data actually is written to memory. If a
small delay is added after the interrupt (like a trace printk("The value
is\n")) the PDC have enough time to write the data to the memory and I
get correct values from the ADC connected to the SPI.
Thoughts how to solve this?
