In multi-master environment, this driver's master cannot know exactly when a peer master sends data to this driver's slave so cases can be happened that this master tries sending data through the master_xfer function but slave data from a peer master is still being processed or slave xfer is started by a peer immediately after it queues a master command. To support multi-master use cases properly, this H/W provides arbitration in physical level and it provides priority based command handling too to avoid conflicts in multi-master environment, means that if a master and a slave events happen at the same time, H/W will handle a higher priority event first and a pending event will be handled when bus comes back to the idle state. To support this H/W feature properly, this patch adds the 'pending' state of master and its handling code so that the pending master xfer can be continued after slave operation properly.

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 Restructured Text 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.
