Doesn't num-cs include gpio chip selects too?
I have a setup with num-cs = <12> which uses non-native cs-gpios just fine
Given that bindings and Linux drivers capabilities are 2 separate things.
Er, that's the whole point - bindings and drivers *are* separate things,
and bindings do not describe drivers. Not least since the fundamental
model is to have one canonical binding for multiple different drivers to
consume.
There seems to be some ambiguity as to whether the common "num-cs"
property is supposed to describe the number of dedicated hardware
chipselects or the total number including additional GPIOs, but either
way this change appears to be objectively wrong - if it's the former
than the comment in the driver plus a survey of a few TRMs implies that
the maximum number of hardware lines is 2; if it's the latter then
obviously it's valid for a platform to wire up 3 or more additional
GPIOs as desired, and for a DT to accurately describe that, regardless
of whether any particular consumer happens to support it yet or not. For
example, AFAICS the U-Boot and FreeBSD drivers for Rockchip SPI appear
not to support GPIO chipselects at all.
Thanks,
Robin.
However this document has also a purpose that must notify mainline maintainers if users submit bogus DT values.
Currently that limit is set to 4 in the mainline driver.
You are free to submit a real board file/patch serie afterwords as proof for review with 12 spi chips and then adjust this limit and increase ROCKCHIP_SPI_MAX_CS_NUM.
