Hi Rafal, On Mon, 7 May 2018 11:27:03 +0200 Rafał Miłecki <zajec5@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:From: Rafał Miłecki <rafal@xxxxxxxxxx> This driver was added by commit 0fc6a323e1917 ("spi: bcm53xx: driver for SPI controller on Broadcom bcma SoC") back in 2014. It was needed to provide a minimal support for SPI controller on BCM5301X (AKA Northstar) devices. An alternative driver was added by Kamal in commit fa236a7ef2404 ("spi: bcm-qspi: Add Broadcom MSPI driver") 2 years later. It supports the same hardware but for some reason a new driver has been developed for it. At this point the new driver supports: more modes, setting a speed, setting bits per word and uses IRQs instead of polling. DTS file for BCM5301X has also been updated in the commit 1c8f406507238 ("ARM: dts: BCM5301X: convert to iProc QSPI") - over a year ago. That explained I see to reason to keep the old driver alive.^ no
Oops, that's a typo. Mark: would you fixup that typo while applying a patch, or should I send V2? I'm not really aware of your maintenance preferences thus asking. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-spi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
