I ran into an intriguing bug caused by commit ""spi: gpio: Don't request CS GPIO in DT use-case" affecting all SPI GPIO devices with an active high chip select line. The commit switches the CS gpio handling over to the GPIO core, which will parse and handle "cs-gpios" from the OF node without even calling down to the driver to get the job done. However the GPIO core handles the standard bindings in Documentation/devicetree/bindings/spi/spi-controller.yaml that specifies that active high CS needs to be specified using "spi-cs-high" in the DT node. The code in drivers/spi/spi-gpio.c never respected this and never tried to inspect subnodes to see if they contained "spi-cs-high" like the gpiolib OF quirks does. Instead the only way to get an active high CS was to tag it in the device tree using the flags cell such as cs-gpios = <&gpio 4 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>; This alters the quirks to not inspect the subnodes of SPI masters on "spi-gpio" for the standard attribute "spi-cs-high", making old device trees work as expected. This semantic is a bit ambigous, but just allowing the flags on the GPIO descriptor to modify polarity is what the kernel at large mostly uses so let's encourage that.

I will try to expediate it, I feel a bit responsible. --- drivers/gpio/gpiolib-of.c | 9 ++++++++- 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) -- 2.21.0
