Hi Mark², Rob,
This patch series enhances the Renesas MSIOF SPI controller driver for
multiple SPI slave devices.
The first patch fixes the classical pitfall of writing to configuration
registers from the spi_master.setup() callback, where possible.
The second patch extends support from 1 to 3 native chip selects,
The third patch fixes the use of GPIOs as chip selects on modern
platform using DT instead of board code.
The last patch documents hardware limitations related to chip selects,
to guide board designers and DTS writers.
This has been tested with:
- Three 25LC040 SPI EEPROMs, using GPIO chip selects due to MSIOF
hardware limitations (verified with a logic analyzer),
- Multiple 74HC595 shift registers feeding lots of blinkenlights,
using only native chipselects, only GPIO chip selects, and a healthy
mix of both.
Thanks for your comments!
