I forgot to mention that in the commit log, there is another reason why it's better to create a generic dw_spi_update_cr0() instead of doing what you suggest. As it will be seen from the following up patches, the dw_spi_update_cr0() function (to be more precise it's successor, but anyway) will be used from the SPI memory ops implementation. So if-else-ing here and there isn't a good idea for maintainability. For the same reason of the maintainability it's better to have a generic method which reflects all the config peculiarities, so in case of any changes they would be not be forgotten to be introduced for both DWC SSI and DW APB SSI parts of the setup procedures. As I see it that overbeats the additional indentation level drawback. -Sergey > > I have an impression that split of the series is done in a way that first > patches in the series are not optimized to what is done in the last patches in > the series. > > -- > With Best Regards, > Andy Shevchenko > >
