[PATCH] spi: rb4xx: Fix set_cs logic.

[Bert Vermeulen]

As it turns out, the set_cs() enable parameter refers to the logic level
on the CS pin, not the state of chip selection.

This broke functionality of the LEDs behind the CPLD, or at least delayed
the commands until another one came in to toggle CS.

No, the enable parameter *should* refer to chip select assertion (see
how we handle GPIO chip selects).  However it's possible that this
device has an inverted chip select and should be registered with the
SPI_CS_HIGH flag?

It's logic level:

 * @set_cs: set the logic level of the chip select line.  May be called
 *          from interrupt context.

    spi: Correct set_cs() documentation

    The documentation for spi_master.set_cs() says:

        assert or deassert chip select, true to assert

    i.e. its "enable" parameter uses assertion-level logic.

    This does not match the implementation of spi_set_cs(), which calls
    spi_master.set_cs() with the wanted logic level of the chip select line,
    which depends on the polarity of the chip select signal.

    Correct the documentation to match the implementation.

Right It's the implementation which doesn't really make sense IMHO: it
always inverts the "enable" parameter (unless SPI_CS_HIGH is set), in
keeping with the default active-low.

So the docs are right, but "enable" doesn't match what it does. Chip select
assertion would be a better API here. Is it worth fixing?

The default chip select is active low so an enebled chip select is low.

I suspect it's going to cause more breakage than it fixes with people
upstreaming things to change the sense of the paramter betwen kernel
versions - renaming the parameter to be clearer is probably about as
good as it gets.
