* extend spi_device struct element 'mode' to u16 (currently u8, fully utilized as of 2.6.3x) * chip_select to s16 (until now also u8)
Background: Chip select size change: allow specification of SPI-device hardware-related spi control per device-specific (native) or gpio-based control. mode size change: obligatory... A mode bit could also be assigned a selection bit: chip_select interpreted as native SSEL-index or as gpio-index (instead of negative value for chip_select). Chip select differentiation bottom line: Naming of the device. I'm not sure how to establish this. spidev0.x are normally assigned for chip selects driven by the SPI peripheral hardware. GPIO-based: spidev0.gpioxx? -Rob ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SOLARIS 10 is the OS for Data Centers - provides features such as DTrace, Predictive Self Healing and Award Winning ZFS.
