From: Tudor Ambarus <tudor.ambarus@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> at91sam9g25ek showed the following error at probe: atmel_spi f0000000.spi: Using dma0chan2 (tx) and dma0chan3 (rx) for DMA transfers atmel_spi: probe of f0000000.spi failed with error -22 Commit 0a919ae49223 ("spi: Don't call spi_get_gpio_descs() before device name is set") moved the calling of spi_get_gpio_descs() after ctrl->dev is set, but didn't move the !ctrl->num_chipselect check. When there are chip selects in the device tree, the spi-atmel driver lets the SPI core discover them when registering the SPI master. The ctrl->num_chipselect is thus expected to be set by spi_get_gpio_descs(). Move the !ctlr->num_chipselect after spi_get_gpio_descs() as it was before the aforementioned commit. While touching this block, get rid of the explicit comparison with 0 and update the commenting style.
