Re: [PATCH v2 3/5] of-bindings: Add binding documentation for SPI busses and devices

From: Segher Boessenkool <hidden>
Date: 2008-07-04 23:37:42
Also in: linux-spi, lkml

+    The SPI master node requires the following properties:
+    - #address-cells  - number of cells required to define a chip 
select
+			address on the SPI bus.
Hrm.  Should this (and "reg" in the child node) be required for SPI
masters that have only one chip select?
+    - max-speed       - (required) Maximum SPI clocking speed of 
device in Hz
The property name should include something "SPI", it's way too generic
otherwise.
+    - spi,cpol        - (optional) Device requires inverse clock 
polarity
+    - spi,cpha        - (optional) Device requires shifted clock phase
Don't abbr the property names, there's nothing wrong with longer names.
The names shouldn't start with "spi," either, "spi" isn't a vendor;
how about "spi-inverse-clock-polarity" or similar?
+    - linux,modalias  - (optional, Linux specific) Force binding of 
SPI device
+			to a particular spi_device driver.  Useful for changing
+			driver binding between spidev and a kernel SPI driver.
This is a temporary workaround I hope?
