This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled spi: ath79: always call chipselect function to the 5.12-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-ath79-always-call-chipselect-function.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.12 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 5c2cff59e0e9d1f4568e72d8ab062e63bc312e1b Author: David Bauer <mail@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Mar 3 17:08:36 2021 +0100 spi: ath79: always call chipselect function [ Upstream commit 19e2132174583beb90c1bd3e9c842bc6d5c944d1 ] spi-bitbang has to call the chipselect function on the ath79 SPI driver in order to communicate with the SPI slave device, as the ath79 SPI driver has three dedicated chipselect lines but can also be used with GPIOs for the CS lines.
