v1:
add Slave mode support in SPI core
spidev create slave device when SPI controller work in slave mode
spi-imx support to work in slave mode
Adding Geert who also had a series doing this in progress that was
getting very near to being merged.
Thank you!
Actually my plan is to fix the last remaining issues and resubmit for v4.13.
I noticed your patch set for SPI slave support,
(I am sure you can find out some of the change
in this patch set is based on your work).
we have similar requirement to add slave mode support to ecspi IP on
imx6 Soc.
Our use case is to use spidev as an interface to communicate with
external SPI master devices.
meanwhile the SPI bus controller can also act as master device to send
data to other
SPI slave devices on the board.
I found in your implementation, SPI bus controller is limited to either
work in master mode or
slave mode, is there any reasoning to not configure SPI mode based on
SPI devices use case?
Thanks,
Jiada

BTW Jiada, what's your use case? Just spidev?
Thx!
