CVE-2025-37896
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
spi: spi-mem: Add fix to avoid divide error
For some SPI flash memory operations, dummy bytes are not mandatory. For example, in Winbond SPINAND flash memory devices, the write_cache and update_cache operation variants have zero dummy bytes. Calculating the duration for SPI memory operations with zero dummy bytes causes a divide error when ncycles is calculated in the spi_mem_calc_op_duration().
Add changes to skip the 'ncylcles' calculation for zero dummy bytes.
Following divide error is fixed by this change:
