Looks like the code has changed a fair amount since my patch. The
important detail from it was trying to clarify the semantics of the
controller->set_cs callback. That function is called with a boolean
argument and that argument could have two possible meanings:
1) True means apply a high logic level to the chip select line.
2) True mean apply chip select.
Under interpretation 2) the chip select line would be set to a
different logic level depending on if the device is active high or
active low.
If I remember correctly at the point of my patch the core had just
changed between the two a couple of times but now consistently did 1)
(and looks like it still does), my patch intended to updated the
spi-dw driver to match that, as my SPI had stopped working. I think
it then turned out, my patch broke some other use-cases and that
the bit in the IP basically had 2) semantics in hardware. Which is
what this patch fixed:
commit 9aea644ca17b ("spi: dw: Fix native CS being unset")
After that patch my patch is mostly replaced so I don't think it
would make any sense to revert my patch at this point, and I
don't think your patch will break the spi-dw driver. I don't
have easy access to the hardware right now to test, but I will
give it is quick run when that option becomes available to me
again.
Your fix looks good to me, but I suspect you do need to fix the
spidev stuff although I have haven't looked at that in detail.
Thanks,
Charles
