There seems to be a merge problem. Before the relevant code was:
(changed in recent commit "spi: fsl-espi: fix handling of word
sizes other than 8 bit")

if (mspi->rx) {
	*(u32 *)mspi->rx = rx_data;
	mspi->rx += 4;
}

Now it's:

if (rx_nr_bytes && mspi->rx) {
	mspi->get_rx(rx_data, mspi);
	mspi->rx += 4;
}

Instead it should be:

if (rx_nr_bytes && mspi->rx) {
	*(u32 *)mspi->rx = rx_data;
	mspi->rx += 4;
}
