SPI rx data buffer can contain one or more receive data chunks. A receive data chunk consists a 64 bytes receive data chunk payload followed a 4 bytes data footer at the end. The data footer contains the information needed to determine the validity and location of the receive frame data within the receive data chunk payload and the host can use these information to generate ethernet frame. Initially the receive chunks available will be updated from the buffer status register and then it will be updated from the footer received on each spi data transfer. Tx data valid or empty chunks equal to the number receive chunks available will be transmitted in the MOSI to receive all the rx chunks. Additionally the receive data footer contains the below information as well. The received footer will be examined for the receive errors if any.

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.
