The conversion of the spi-imx driver to use GPIO descriptors
in commit 8cdcd8aeee ("spi: imx/fsl-lpspi: Convert to GPIO descriptors")
helped to detect the following SPI chipselect polarity mismatch on an
imx6q-sabresd:
[ 4.854337] m25p80@0 enforce active low on chipselect handle
Prior to the above commit, the chipselect polarity passed via cs-gpios
property was ignored and considered active-low.
The reason for such mismatch is clearly explained in the comments inside
drivers/gpio/gpiolib-of.c:
* SPI children have active low chip selects
* by default. This can be specified negatively
* by just omitting "spi-cs-high" in the
* device node, or actively by tagging on
* GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW as flag in the device
* tree. If the line is simultaneously
* tagged as active low in the device tree
* and has the "spi-cs-high" set, we get a
* conflict and the "spi-cs-high" flag will
* take precedence.
To properly represent the SPI chipselect polarity, change it to active-low
when the "spi-cs-high" property is absent.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
