It's not just cs-gpios though: if you look in drivers/gpio/gpiolib-of.c in the function of_gpio_flags_quirks() you see that the bool property spi-cs-high in the consumer node will take precedence over the cs-gpios property and that will also be handled transparently by gpiolib. (commit 6953c57ab1721 with fixes on top). But I guess that is what you mean. Yes as far as I can see this solves the problem of double-specifying (both in device tree and from userspace) that we want CS high, so after some thinking: Reviewed-by: Linus Walleij > TBH the way commit f3186dd87669 abuses SPI_CS_HIGH seems clumsy to me.

There is way too much double inversion going on for sure (some of it dating back before any attempts to use gpiolib for polarity handling and I just feel partially responsible) but I just haven't figured out how to properly fix the problem. Maybe it was just stupid of me to try to move polarity inversion semantics over to gpiolib before fixing that though. Patches like the above are also welcome! Yours, Linus Walleij
