From: Mirko Vogt <mirko-dev|[email protected]>
The current sun6i SPI implementation initializes the transfer too early,
resulting in SCK going high before the transfer. When using an additional
(gpio) chipselect with sun6i, the chipselect is asserted at a time when
clock is high, making the SPI transfer fail.
This is due to SUN6I_GBL_CTL_BUS_ENABLE being written into
SUN6I_GBL_CTL_REG at an early stage. Moving that to the transfer
function, hence, right before the transfer starts, mitigates that
problem.

or the discussion in the armbian forum at

(my logo there is a penguin).
As far as we can tell the driver never worked with gpio chipselects.

[1/1] spi: spi-sun6i: Fix chipselect/clock bug
commit: 0d7993b234c9fad8cb6bec6adfaa74694ba85ecb
All being well this means that it will be integrated into the linux-next
tree (usually sometime in the next 24 hours) and sent to Linus during
the next merge window (or sooner if it is a bug fix), however if
problems are discovered then the patch may be dropped or reverted.
You may get further e-mails resulting from automated or manual testing
and review of the tree, please engage with people reporting problems and
send followup patches addressing any issues that are reported if needed.
If any updates are required or you are submitting further changes they
should be sent as incremental updates against current git, existing
patches will not be replaced.
Please add any relevant lists and maintainers to the CCs when replying
to this mail.
Thanks,
Mark
