[PATCH 0/3] arm: dts: lpc32xx: update ssp / spi nodes

[slemieux.tyco at gmail.com]

From: Sylvain Lemieux <slemieux@tycoint.com>

This patchset change the following:
1) adds clock properties to spi peripheral devices,
   clock ids are taken from dt-bindings/clock/lpc32xx-clock.h

2) disable, by default, the SSP0/SPI1 and SSP1/SPI2 shared pinout;
   shared pin should be enable in board specific dts, as needed.

3) enable SSP0 used by PHY3250.

[slemieux.tyco at gmail.com]

From: Sylvain Lemieux <slemieux@tycoint.com>

The SSP0/SPI1 and SSP1/SPI2 shared pinout and should be disable by default.

Board specific dts should enable them, as needed.

The patches look fine, but it's unclear what you want to happen with them
as long as the maintainer situation is not resolved. I've seen patches
from Vladimir and you recently, and none from Roland, so I think it would
be good if one or both of you could officially step up to be maintainers
and collect all patches to forward them to arm at kernel.org for inclusion.

Once we have an agreement on who does this, please send a patch to
update the MAINTAINERS file.

For the patch descriptions, please always start the subject with 'ARM',
not 'arm' to follow the common convention, and always add a multi-line
description even for trivial patches.

I'm not sure that here is a correct clock name, and it looks like it
is copied from some PrimeCell device node, may be "arm,pl022" SPI.

Reasons to NOT add clock-names property:
* the name is one in one PrimeCell clock name, which may be confusing,
* there is no "nxp,lpc3220-spi" SPI controller driver in the mainline,
* there is no documented description of controller's properties,
* the controller has only one clock, so I believe "clock-names"
  is redundant here.

I don't object against adding "clocks" property, but no public driver
means no testing, unfortunately.

FWIW there was an attempt to add the driver of pretty bad quality,
and it does not define a "clock-names" property [1].

Could you please swap 2/3 and 3/3 ?

This may save some time to git-bisect users, if there are any :)

for v4.5 and v4.6 I collected my own patches from LAKML after review,
I started to do it for v4.7, but probably a bit later than desired.

Could you please remind me, when do ARM maintainers generally stop
applying "for-next" pull requests?

I'll send a change on behalf of myself, at this point I don't think that
pure lpc32xx maintenance (deliberately here I exclude development!) task
takes more than 20 hours per month, which is affordable for me,
Sylvain please express your view.

There is no strict rule. We like to get patches as early as possible
though, and if you send a lot of stuff late we may ask for it to be
deferred until the following release.

If you have a lot of patches that go in early, it's more likely that
later follow-on patches get merged too.

I will try without the clock name, and, update the patch accordingly.

We are currently using our own SPI driver with limited functionality;
the driver support polling mode only.

We did not submit the driver, because of the limited support.

Vladimir, would it be possible for you to add my change, after review 
is done on LAKML, for the lpc32xx pull request you will do for 4.7?

I can provide support for pure lpc32xx maintenance task 
(I also exclude development); I can free up to 10-15 hours a
month for doing testing and patch review.

Is there any documentation available on the process 
to submit a merge request to the mailing list?

definitely.

For your information I updated my tree https://github.com/vzapolskiy/linux.git
recently, for DTS changes you may want to rebase the changeset on top of
lpc32xx/dt branch.

By the way I plan to rename board DTS files to match lpc32*-*.dts pattern,
but I can postpone doing it until your changes are included.

Sounds good, thank you. Do you want to take over maintenance on v4.8
cycle?

As for me I thoroughly observe what other ARM SoC maintainers do, and
ask questions if something remains uncertain.

Will you send a patch to update the MAINTAINERS file or do you want
me to send it?

Should we add the lpc32xx dts to the list of supported file?

I'll send to change, you'll be included as a maintainer, the record
also needs some other updates, e.g. it is not about machine support
but about SoC support etc.

Arnd, I'm not sure if MAINTAINERS update should go though a pull
request (= no explicit SoB from an ARM maintainer) or if you expect
to get a patch and apply it yourself, please advise.

There is a possibility to add files by regex, which makes sense
to do after renaming dts files - this is in my first priority todo list.

Either way works. We tend to group MAINTAINER file updates with bugfixes,
so if you have any other fixes for 4.6 or 4.7, just throw it in the same
pull request you send us, otherwise send a separate patch.

The order is not important here, it's fine with me if you want to add
a regex for the new name even if the actual renaming is in a different
branch.
