I will revise it according to your suggestion. please also keep an eye on my reply to Linus' mail pointing out some other issues where the driver should not tie into soc-specific areas like the clock controller etc. Thanks Heiko Am Dienstag, 27.

As stated, please don't directly access soc blocks like the clock controller or iomuxes, there are standard APIs like the general clock API and also assigned-clock* devicetree properties. Similarly for pinctrl access. So there should not be any writel (or ioremap) at all in this spi driver I'd think. Thanks Heiko
