[PATCH 0/2] Fix displays requiring 9 bit transfers on RPi

[Stefan Brüns <stefan.bruens@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Some displays need 9 bit long SPI transfers (Command/Data flag plus
8 bit data). FBTFT has emulation code in case the controller only
supports 8 bit transfers, but this is only used if the controller
setup function report an error if bits_per_word is set to 9.

Report unsupported bits_per_word settings in spi_setup Currently the
SPI core only checks bits_per_word on transfer, but not on setup.

Replace invocations of master->setup(...) with spi_setup(...).

Tested on RPi B with an Ilitek9341 based TFT display in 9 bit mode.

Stefan Brüns (2):
  spi: check bits_per_word in spi_setup
  staging/fbtft: use spi_setup instead of direct call to master->setup
