[PATCH v1 1/1] spi: pxa2xx: use min() instead of min_t()

[PATCH v1 1/1] spi: pxa2xx: use min() instead of min_t()

[Andy Shevchenko]

min_t(int, a, b) casts an 'unsigned long' to 'int'. This might lead
to the cases when big number is wrongly chosen. On the other hand,
the SPI transfer speed rate is unsigned and driver uses signed type
for an unknown reason. Change the type of the SPI transfer speed
to be unsigned and convert to use min() instead of min_t().

I think you should use 'unsigned int' or 'u32' not 'unsigned long'.
There is no reason for these fields to have different sizes on 32 and 64bit.

Were spi to support 4GHz clocks (fat chance on a pcb track) you'd
need to use u64.

Fair enough. I will correct in v2.
Thanks for review.

[1/1] spi: pxa2xx: use min() instead of min_t()
      commit: 507a071d9868cb60e4e76f8a06fc8eb014f59ae4

All being well this means that it will be integrated into the linux-next
tree (usually sometime in the next 24 hours) and sent to Linus during
the next merge window (or sooner if it is a bug fix), however if
problems are discovered then the patch may be dropped or reverted.

You may get further e-mails resulting from automated or manual testing
and review of the tree, please engage with people reporting problems and
send followup patches addressing any issues that are reported if needed.

If any updates are required or you are submitting further changes they
should be sent as incremental updates against current git, existing
patches will not be replaced.

Please add any relevant lists and maintainers to the CCs when replying
to this mail.

Thanks,
Mark
