Since those don't come from spi-peripheral-props, not really the correct justification (although why they don't, I'm not sure). If you still saw dtbs_check complaints after the first patch, I maybe the controller schema is missing a reference to spi-controller.yaml?I changed the first patch as suggested:--- a/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/spi/spi-peripheral-props.yaml +++ b/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/spi/spi-peripheral-props.yaml@@ -29,6 +29,10 @@ properties: description: Chip select used by the device. + spi-cpha: true + + spi-cpol: true + spi-cs-high: $ref: /schemas/types.yaml#/definitions/flag description:spi-rockchip.yaml does reference spi-controller.yaml, but I still get dtbs_check complaints after the first patch. $ make CHECK_DTBS=y rockchip/rv1108-elgin-r1.dtb -j12 UPD include/config/kernel.release SCHEMA Documentation/devicetree/bindings/processed-schema.json DTC [C] arch/arm/boot/dts/rockchip/rv1108-elgin-r1.dtb /home/fabio/linux-next/arch/arm/boot/dts/rockchip/rv1108-elgin-r1.dtb: display@0: 'spi-cpha', 'spi-cpol' do not match any of the regexes: 'pinctrl-[0-9]+' from schema $id: http://devicetree.org/schemas/trivial-devices.yaml# I would appreciate some suggestions on how to fix this warning.Ah, I think I suggested something garbage, because I misread the diff, as my quoted mail evidences. I was really trying to suggest putting spi-cpha: true spi-cpol: true in trivial-devices.yaml, but I didn't notice that the patch was to spi-peripheral-props rather than trivial-devices. These properties are defined (for reasons I don't quite understand) in spi-controller.yaml and applied to children of the controller node by that binding and I wanted to avoid the redefinition.I steered Fabio wrong... I think we originally had these in spi-peripheral-props, but then decided they are properties of the device, not the controller. These properties should really only be needed if the device supports different modes. If what a device supports is fixed, then that can be implicit. There's one other case I see with "dh,dhcom-board". So I guess add spi-cpha and spi-cpol directly to trivial-devices.yaml.
I responded to v2 before reaching here. Are you sure that's intended? It's almost equal to the patch here: all trivial devices will have it, even if they do not need it. For a device requiring CPOL/CPHA, not having it (or the reverse) is a bug in DTS and basically we would miss such check for all trivial devices. Best regards, Krzysztof
