This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled spi: fsl: Handle the single hardwired chipselect case to the 5.4-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: spi-fsl-handle-the-single-hardwired-chipselect-case.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit f0858b4b54289e4053ec00dd47f5d2bd56fee0b2 Author: Linus Walleij <linus.walleij@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Nov 28 09:37:18 2019 +0100 spi: fsl: Handle the single hardwired chipselect case [ Upstream commit 7251953d784baf7e5416afabe030a0e81de1a938 ] The Freescale MPC8xxx had a special quirk for handling a single hardwired chipselect, the case when we're using neither GPIO nor native chip select: when inspecting the device tree and finding zero "cs-gpios" on the device node the code would assume we have a single hardwired chipselect that leaves the device always selected. This quirk is not handled by the new core code, so we need to check the "cs-gpios" explicitly in the driver and set pdata->max_chipselect = 1 which will later fall through to the SPI master ->num_chipselect. Make sure not to assign the chip select handler in this case: there is no handling needed since the chip is always selected, and this is what the old code did as well.
