Subject: [PATCHv2 1/2] Documentation: dt: spi: Add GPIO Slave Select Parameter

From: Thor Thayer <[email protected]>

Some SPI masters require the slave to be selected before a
transaction can occur - even in the case of GPIO chip select.

This patch adds a GPIO slave select parameter to indicate
the slave needs to be selected in the GPIO CS case.

Subject: [PATCHv2 2/2] spi: Add Flag to Enable Slave Select with GPIO Chip Select.

From: Thor Thayer <[email protected]>

Some SPI masters require slave selection before the transfer
can begin [1]. The SPI framework currently selects the chip using
either 1) the internal CS mechanism or 2) the GPIO CS, but not both.

This patch adds a boolean variable to indicate both the GPIO CS and
the internal chip select should be used.

Tested On:
Altera CycloneV development kit
Compile tested for build errors on x86_64 (allyesconfigs)

[1] DesignWare dw_apb_ssi Databook, Version 3.20a (page 39)

To me, this looks more like a new flag the SPI controller driver should
set in spi_master.flags, instead of a DT property.

Yes, I see your point since this is SPI master specific. I'll respin as
you suggest.
