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:

Oops: divide error: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP NOPTI
