I understand your concerns, but I'm not sure how to satisfy them without crippling the design's ability to accomodate my use-case. I can't pass a GPIO line per spi_board_info since in my case of a multiplexed CS configuration a single pin's state does not uniquely determine the desired CS. The only other option I can think of is that we somehow provide a list of GPIOs for each bus and map the CS numbers to permutations of GPIO states. Unfortunately, I don't know of any suitable structure to put this GPIO list in. Perhaps I'm missing something obvious? - Ben -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-omap" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
