In general this shouldn't matter since the kernel +doesn't use the bus number for anything other than matching a bus to +spi_boardinfo (not used for DT). However, sometimes userspace needs to +figure out which bus is which, so it makes sense to use the global +/aliases namespace to choose a specific bus number. + +It is safe to derive the bus number from an alias because aliases will +never cause two buses to try and use the same bus number. (At one time +the cell-index property was used for this purpose, but cell-index has +the risk of an id collision). + +Signed-off-by: Grant Likely <grant.likely@secretlab.ca> +Cc: Anatolij Gustschin <agust@denx.de> +Cc: Mark Brown <broonie@opensource.wolfsonmicro.com> +--- + drivers/spi/spi.c | 3 +++ + 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+) + +--- a/drivers/spi/spi.c ++++ b/drivers/spi/spi.c +@@ -1135,6 +1135,9 @@ int spi_register_master(struct spi_maste + if (master->num_chipselect == 0) + return -EINVAL; + ++ if ((master->bus_num < 0) && master->dev.of_node) ++ master->bus_num = of_alias_get_id(master->dev.of_node, "spi"); ++ + /* convention: dynamically assigned bus IDs count down from the max */ + if (master->bus_num < 0) { + /* FIXME switch to an IDR based scheme, something like |
