Hi Mark², Rob, This patch series enhances the Renesas MSIOF SPI controller driver for multiple SPI slave devices. The first patch fixes the classical pitfall of writing to configuration registers from the spi_master.setup() callback, where possible. The second patch extends support from 1 to 3 native chip selects, The third patch fixes the use of GPIOs as chip selects on modern platform using DT instead of board code. The last patch documents hardware limitations related to chip selects, to guide board designers and DTS writers. This has been tested with: - Three 25LC040 SPI EEPROMs, using GPIO chip selects due to MSIOF hardware limitations (verified with a logic analyzer), - Multiple 74HC595 shift registers feeding lots of blinkenlights, using only native chipselects, only GPIO chip selects, and a healthy mix of both. Thanks for your comments!
