2006/1/28 patches to pxa2xx-spi in 2.6.25 tree

David:

I wonder if you have seen the two patches submitted by Eric Miao that 
appeared in the 2.6.25 git tree on 1/26/08 for drivers/spi/pxa2xx-spi.c 
and related files.  They do not appear to have been passed through 
spi-devel-general, which is why I did not see them before. They were 
signed off by Russell King and not by you.  These patches make 
significant changes in way pxa2xx_spi plugs into the kernel, and appear 
to require changes in the platform setup that will likely affect all 
users.  They also make drivers/spi/pxa2xx-spi.c dependent on 
arch/arm/mach-pxa/ssp.c.

Are these changes compatible with the grand scheme of things?  I don't 
have much visibility of the direction in which the kernel or the spi 
core is heading, so I can't tell.

Eric:

It seems there should have been a related patch to 
Documentation/spi/pxa2xx to change the examples for platform setup, 
along the lines of what your patch calls for in 
arch/arm/mach-pxa/lubbock.c, and to add information about struct ssp_device.
