When using the device tree, which must be considered normal these days, in order to get some kind of normal functionality out of the PL022 users have to actively go into the device tree and edit the SPI clients like this: spi { compatible = "arm,pl022"; num-cs = <1>; cs-gpios = <&gpio 0 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>; foo@0 { compatible = "foo"; reg = <0>; pl022,interface = <0>; pl022,com-mode = <0>; }; }; Otherwise the PL022 will come up as a client (slave) and using polling mode. This is quite unintuitive and many users will get their device trees wrong. Alter the defaults such that we come up in host mode (master) and use interrupt mode.
