Document how to use devicetree aliases to assign a stable bus number to a spi bus. Signed-off-by: Christer Weinigel <christer@xxxxxxxxxxx> --- Trivial documentation change. Not having used devicetree that much it was surprisingly hard to figure out how to assign a stable bus number to a spi bus. Add a simple example that shows how to do that. Mark Cced as the SPI maintainer. Or should trivial documentation fixes like this be addressed to someone else? /Christer Documentation/devicetree/bindings/spi/spi-bus.txt | 10 ++++++++++ 1 file changed, 10 insertions(+) diff --git a/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/spi/spi-bus.txt b/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/spi/spi-bus.txt index 42d5954..c35c4c2 100644 --- a/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/spi/spi-bus.txt +++ b/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/spi/spi-bus.txt @@ -94,3 +94,13 @@ SPI example for an MPC5200 SPI bus: reg = <1>; }; }; + +Normally SPI buses are assigned dynamic bus numbers starting at 32766 +and counting downwards.
