Subject: [PATCH] of: spi: Return error from of_spi_register_master on bad "cs-gpios" property
Date: Wed, 13 Feb 2013 14:23:24 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1360761804-16044-1-git-send-email-andreas@gaisler.com> (raw)

This makes sure that an error is returned on an incorrectly formed
"cs-gpios" property, but reports success when the "cs-gpios" property is
well formed or missing.

When holes in the cs-gpios property phandle list is used to indicate
that some other form of chipselect is to be used it is important that
failure to read a broken "cs-gpios" property does not silently fail
leading to the spi controller to use an unintended chipselect.

Signed-off-by: Andreas Larsson <andreas@gaisler.com>
---

Can only be applied to devicetree/next as it builds upon the
"of: Add helper for counting phandle refernces" patch series.
