The patch spi: bcm2835aux: make the polling duration limits configurable has been applied to the spi tree at https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/broonie/spi.git All being well this means that it will be integrated into the linux-next tree (usually sometime in the next 24 hours) and sent to Linus during the next merge window (or sooner if it is a bug fix), however if problems are discovered then the patch may be dropped or reverted. You may get further e-mails resulting from automated or manual testing and review of the tree, please engage with people reporting problems and send followup patches addressing any issues that are reported if needed. If any updates are required or you are submitting further changes they should be sent as incremental updates against current git, existing patches will not be replaced. Please add any relevant lists and maintainers to the CCs when replying to this mail. Thanks, Mark >From 5fd917afc4bfe77686a29a7923c301b6f55b2377 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Martin Sperl <kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sat, 30 Mar 2019 09:31:06 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] spi: bcm2835aux: make the polling duration limits configurable Under some circumstances the default 30 us polling limit is not optimal and may lead to long delays because we are waiting on an interrupt. with this patch we have the possibility to influence this policy. So make this limit (in us) configurable via a module parameters (but also modifyable via /sys/modules/...)
