Tony,
Would it make sense to make this default in the omap3.dtsi file and
enable them in the individual boards that need it?
>From what I can tell the following use mcspi1:
logicpd-som-lv.dtsi
logicpd-torpedo-som.dtsi
omap3-evm-common.dtsi
omap3-ldp.dts
omap3-n900.dts
omap3-pandora-common.dtsi
omap3-tao3530.dtsi
The following use mcspi2:
omap3-lilly-a83x.dtsi
mscpi3 is used on:
omap3-tao3530.dtsi
and mcspi4:
omap3-n900.dts
In theory that would save a bunch of boards duplicating the disabled
status if they were to all follow suit.
I was looking into doing something like that for the mmc drivers on
various OMAP3 boards while disabling it on the omap3.dtsi. It seems
like some drivers are disabled by default (dss, ssi, mcbsp) while
others are enabled by default (i2c, spi, mmc, usb_otg_hs, gpmc,
usbhshost, and a bunch of timers). Disabling some of these also might
help speed up boot times if less devices need to enumerate. I am
willing to do some of that work if the idea makes sense.
