 Ah. So the ADXL345 actually wont be driven by kernel.

DT is hardware description, it's not concerned what is done on 
software side,
either kernel or user space.
Im aware. But this is not a device that is on the board. Its simply a 
connector for the device.
Like Rpi has connectors for camera module :)

 The SPI connection is enabled so that klipper (3d printer 
firmware) can
 be told to look for ADXL345 at this SPI and use it on its own.

 Klipper will initialize and communicate with the ADXL on its own.

What do you mean by firmware? User space app? In this case I suppose 
you'll use
direct SPI commands from user space? AFAIK that's less and less 
supported by
kernel (in contrast to I2C).
Firmware as in 3d printer firmware. Klipper runs on the board (CB1 or 
BTT Pi) and is indeed an userspace app.
And indeed uses direct SPI commands to the device.

The reason for this is the flexibility.
If Klipper read the values from kernel or well from the files the 
ADXL driver would create
then it would be unable to communicate with ADXL that is on toolhead 
board. Or would have to have
direct initialization either way for those. Thus it just controls the 
ADXL itself :)

I understand that this may be bit confusing. If there is still 
something not clear im more then happy to explain in
full detail how the userspace and 3D printer communicate :)

Cheers,
Martin.
Hello,
Jernej any comments on this ?
I would like to resolve this conversation :)
We do have a bunch of time before the new cycle but never hurts to get 
it figured out ahead of time :)

Cheers,
Martin

Jernej
