The patch spi: bcm2835aux: warn in dmesg that native cs is not really supported 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 519f2c22a6c71a9fefed1166c36d48246e010514 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Martin Sperl <kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sat, 30 Mar 2019 09:31:03 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] spi: bcm2835aux: warn in dmesg that native cs is not really supported >From personal bad experience (even as the author of the original driver) it shows that native-cs is "somewhat" supported by the spi bus driver when using a buggy device tree. So make sure that the driver is warning in dmesg about this fact that we are running in a not supported mode that may have surprizing limitations.
