Linus Torvalds fa5ef10561 Merge tag 'spi-v6.19' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/broonie/spi
Pull spi updates from Mark Brown:
 "This release is almost entirely new drivers, with a couple of small
  changes in generic code.

  The biggest individual update is a rename of the existing Microchip
  driver and the addition of a new driver for the silicon SPI controller
  in their PolarFire SoCs. The overlap between the soft IP supported by
  the current driver and this new one is regrettably all in the IP and
  not in the register interface offered to software.

   - Add a time offset parameter for offloads, allowing them to be
     defined in relation to each other. This is useful for IIO type
     applcations where you trigger an operation then read the result
     after a delay.

   - Add a tracepoint for flash exec_ops, bringing the flash support
     more in line with the debuggability of vanilla SPI.

   - Support for Airoha EN7523, Arduino MCUs, Aspeed AST2700, Microchip
     PolarFire SPI controllers, NXP i.MX51 ECSPI target mode, Qualcomm
     IPQ5414 and IPQ5332, Renesas RZ/T2H, RZ/V2N and RZ/2NH and SpacemiT
     K1 QuadSPI.

  There's also a small set of ASoC cleanups that I mistakenly applied to
  the SPI tree and then put more stuff on top of before it was brought
  to my attention, sorry about that"

Linux kernel
============

The Linux kernel is the core of any Linux operating system. It manages hardware,
system resources, and provides the fundamental services for all other software.

Quick Start
-----------

* Report a bug: See Documentation/admin-guide/reporting-issues.rst
* Get the latest kernel: https://kernel.org
* Build the kernel: See Documentation/admin-guide/quickly-build-trimmed-linux.rst
* Join the community: https://lore.kernel.org/

Essential Documentation
-----------------------

All users should be familiar with:

* Building requirements: Documentation/process/changes.rst
* Code of Conduct: Documentation/process/code-of-conduct.rst
* License: See COPYING

Documentation can be built with make htmldocs or viewed online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
