On SPI device probe, the core will call spi_setup in spi_add_device before the corresponding driver was probed. When this happens, the bits_per_word member of the device is not yet set by the driver, resulting in the default being set to 8 bits-per-word. However some controllers do not support 8 bits-per-word at all, which results in a failure when checking the bits-per-word validity. In order to support these devices, skip the bits-per-word validity check when it is not explicitly provided by drivers.

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.
