My next message of this subject contains a patch for the issue 
initially raised by the thread: "PXA270 SSPSFRM gates chip select ?" 

This patch is created to apply to the development kernel: 2.6.25-rc1.
This kernel has a newly re-organized regs-ssp.h file, and since I
needed to add a new bit definition to that file, it is included in the
patch. However, as noted in the comments to the patch, kernels 2.6.20
(when the bug was introduced) through 2.6.24 have the ssp bit
definitions in pxa-regs.h, so the extra bit needs to be added there
for the earlier versions.

David: 

Is there a defined procedure for distributing patches the can be
applied to different kernel versions, when they won't apply directly?

---

Also note that I am still developing on 2.6.20, and so I have only
tested this code on that version.  Furthermore, I don't use chip
select, so really I just compiled and ran the changes to show that
they do no harm.

David:

Can I assume that you or someone up the chain will go through the
motions of applying this patch to 2.6.25 and showing that it compiles?
I really don't expect any trouble with that.

Scott:

Can you apply the patch to your 2.6.21 tree, and see if it fixes your
original problem?  Note that you will have to add the bit definition 
line to include/asm-arm/arch-pxa/pxa-regs.h, by hand, or alter the 
file names in the patch from regs-ssp.h to pxa-regs.h
