In this case the authorship should stay with him (git commit --amend --author "..."), and you add your S-o-b (his first, your's next). If you use git format-patch & git send-email, it will take care of formatting this correctly (inserting a "From" line into the body). As for the technical part: I know as much about SPI to have quite some respect for the subtleties of the various modes. But your second oscilloscope shot looks much better, and matches the timing diagram in the manual (SS is the first to go down). So I trust you that's the right move.

What about you utilise "reg" here, as the other access do, to make this more readable? reg = sun6i_spi_read(...); reg |= ... sun6i_spi_write(..., reg); Cheers, Andre > > /* Setup the transfer now... */ > if (sspi->tx_buf) > @@ -504,7 +508,7 @@ static int sun6i_spi_runtime_resume(struct device *dev) > } > > sun6i_spi_write(sspi, SUN6I_GBL_CTL_REG, > - SUN6I_GBL_CTL_BUS_ENABLE | SUN6I_GBL_CTL_MASTER | SUN6I_GBL_CTL_TP); > + SUN6I_GBL_CTL_MASTER | SUN6I_GBL_CTL_TP); > > return 0; >
