Subject: [PATCH v1 1/1] Documentation: firmware-guide: gpio-properties: Add note to SPI CS case
Date: Sat, 24 Apr 2021 17:39:35 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210424143935.69487-1-andriy.shevchenko@linux.intel.com> (raw)

Historically ACPI has no means of the GPIO polarity and thus
the SPISerialBus() resource defines it on the per-chip basis.
In order to avoid an ambiguity, the GPIO polarity is considered
being always Active High.

Add note about this to the respective documentation file.

+Note, that historically ACPI has no means of the GPIO polarity and thus
+the SPISerialBus() resource defines it on the per-chip basis. In order
+to avoid a chain of negations, the GPIO polarity is considered being
+Active High. Even for the cases when _DSD() is involved (see the example
+above) the GPIO CS polarity must be defined Active High to avoid ambiguity.
