[PATCH v1 1/1] Documentation: firmware-guide: gpio-properties: Add note to SPI CS case

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Historically ACPI has no means of the GPIO polarity and thus
the SPISerialBus() resource defines it on the per-chip basis.
In order to avoid an ambiguity, the GPIO polarity is considered
being always Active High.

Add note about this to the respective documentation file.

+Note, that historically ACPI has no means of the GPIO polarity and thus
+the SPISerialBus() resource defines it on the per-chip basis. In order
+to avoid a chain of negations, the GPIO polarity is considered being
+Active High. Even for the cases when _DSD() is involved (see the example
+above) the GPIO CS polarity must be defined Active High to avoid ambiguity.
