I don't like the idea of a command line enabling realtime scheduling for al=
l=20
instances of the SPI controller driver or even all SPI controllers. Actuall=
y=20
this might be worse if a non-rt SPI bus is considered for RT scheduling.
IMHO this should be configurable per SPI controller, e.g. a sysfs attribute.

IIRC someone (maybe Greg K-H) opposed pretty hard against (module) paramete=
rs=20
for (driver) configuration, but I can't find the post to back my statement.

Best regards,
Alexander
