Linux kernel source tree
SPI thread wakes up to perform SPI transfer whenever there is an TX skb
from n/w stack or interrupt from MAC-PHY. Ethernet frame from TX skb is
transferred based on the availability tx credits in the MAC-PHY which is
reported from the previous SPI transfer. Sometimes there is a possibility
that TX skb is available to transmit but there is no tx credits from
MAC-PHY. In this case, there will not be any SPI transfer but the thread
will be running in an endless loop until tx credits available again.
So checking the availability of tx credits along with TX skb will prevent
the above infinite loop. When the tx credits available again that will be
notified through interrupt which will trigger the SPI transfer to get the
available tx credits.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
