Hi, Pekon What about the comment below, do I still need to check the mode before setting. >> You missed out comments provided earlier.. >> http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-mtd/2013-August/048374.html >> >> Remember .. this compatibility check is between spi_device->mode >> v/s spi_master->mode_bits. This is different from ur V3 patch >> which checks for spi_transfer->tx_nbits v/s spi_device->mode. >> >> + if ((xfer->tx_nbits == SPI_NBITS_DUAL) && >> + !(spi->mode & (SPI_TX_DUAL | SPI_TX_QUAD))) >> + return -EINVAL; >> + if ((xfer->tx_nbits == SPI_NBITS_QUAD) && >> + !(spi->mode & SPI_TX_QUAD)) >> + return -EINVAL; >> >> > Sorry for my mis-understanding.
