I have been trying to test this patch in the past week and still it
failed everytime.

First I used ACPI to enumerate the device in QEMU setup:

Added some printks for debugging:

[   14.510198] bme680_spi spi-BME0680:00: Jumping to core driver now ...
[   14.544528] bme680_spi spi-BME0680:00: Page setting done, on Page :0 now
[   14.554363] bme680_spi spi-BME0680:00: bme680_regmap_spi_write: on Page :0 now
[   14.556151] bme680_spi spi-BME0680:00: bme680_regmap_spi_read: on Page :0 now
[   14.567815] bme680_spi spi-BME0680:00: Wrong chip ID, got ff expected 61

I also tried bypassing this by removing the following snippet and force
registration to see what happens next:

 > +     ret = regmap_write(regmap, BME680_REG_SOFT_RESET,
 > +                        BME680_CMD_SOFTRESET);

And it registered successfully, but all the bme680 attributes were
giving wrong values like temp was constant to 0.0000007, resistance
was resource busy due to insuffient target temperature error.
Pretty eveything was messed up at this stage.

Then I build and booted the kernel on BeagleBone Black Wireless with
DT matching this time:

debian@beaglebone:~$ uname -a

                        bme680@0 {
                                compatible = "bme680";
                                reg = <0x0>;
                                spi-max-frequency = <0x989680>;
                        };

Same error again!

I really don't know where the problem is and how to rectify ?

OTOH, I2C works like a charm as it used to work before:

root@beaglebone:/sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:device1# cat name in_temp_input \
in_pressure_input in_humidityrelative_input in_resistance_input

bme680
26860 --> w/o your patch it used to be 26.86000 degC
990.870000000
55.265000000
10091


I'm still assuming that there is some problem on my side, as it works
flawless for you. But it is really difficult for me to figure out
exactly where the problem could be!
