The patch spi: Add call to spi_slave_abort() function when spidev driver is released has been applied to the spi tree at https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/broonie/spi.git for-5.4 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 bf390d25e03b38248a0a4f7d0002bbb495a82fe9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lukasz Majewski <lukma@xxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 24 Sep 2019 13:05:46 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] spi: Add call to spi_slave_abort() function when spidev driver is released This change is necessary for spidev devices (e.g. /dev/spidev3.0) working in the slave mode (like NXP's dspi driver for Vybrid SoC). When SPI HW works in this mode - the master is responsible for providing CS and CLK signals. However, when some fault happens - like for example distortion on SPI lines - the SPI Linux driver needs a chance to recover from this abnormal situation and prepare itself for next (correct) transmission. This change doesn't pose any threat on drivers working in master mode as spi_slave_abort() function checks if SPI slave mode is supported.
