[PATCH v1 00/11] arm64: dts: freescale: Add SPI aliases to Toradex SoMs

[Francesco Dolcini]

From: Francesco Dolcini <francesco.dolcini@toradex.com>

Toradex SoM families (Verdin, Apalis, Colibri, Aquila, Lino) and the
SMARC and OSM standards define the interfaces available to the carrier
board and their numbering or naming as part of the module pinout. The
Linux SPI bus number instead follows the SoC dtsi aliases where they
exist (i.MX8MM, i.MX8MP, i.MX8QM, i.MX8QXP) or is assigned dynamically
(i.MX91, i.MX93, i.MX95), so the bus number in sysfs and the spidev
device name do not match the module interface.

Add spiN aliases to the SoM dtsi files so the Linux bus number follows
the module interface numbering, zero-based like the existing
serial and can aliases: SPI_1 is spi0 and SPI_2 is spi1, SMARC SPI0 and
SPI1 map directly, OSM SPI_A is spi0 and SPI_B is spi1, the single
Colibri SPI is spi0. Where the SoC dtsi already gives the same
controller another alias, that inherited alias is deleted so each
controller carries a single one. SPI controllers that are not part of
the module pinout get no alias of their own.

[PATCH v1 01/11] arm64: dts: freescale: imx8mm-verdin: Add SPI alias

[Francesco Dolcini]

From: Francesco Dolcini <francesco.dolcini@toradex.com>

The Verdin family pinout defines the SoM interfaces and their
numbering, SPI_1 being the SPI bus available to the carrier board,
implemented by ecspi2 on Verdin iMX8MM.

imx8mm.dtsi numbers ecspi2 as spi1, so the Linux bus number in sysfs
and the spidev name do not match the Verdin interface. Add a spi0
alias in the SoM dtsi and delete the inherited spi1, so ecspi2 is
bus 0, zero-based with SPI_1 being spi0, and carries a single alias.
ecspi3, internal to the SoM with the CAN controller and the TPM, keeps
the spi2 alias inherited from the SoC.

Can you avoid delete property for new platform?

[PATCH v1 02/11] arm64: dts: freescale: imx8mp-verdin: Add SPI alias

The Verdin family pinout defines the SoM interfaces and their
numbering, SPI_1 being the SPI bus available to the carrier board,
implemented by ecspi1 on Verdin iMX8MP.

Without an alias the Linux SPI bus number is assigned dynamically and
can change with the carrier board or probe order. Add a spi0 alias so
the bus number in sysfs and the spidev name follow the Verdin interface
numbering, zero-based with SPI_1 being spi0. This replaces the spi0
alias imx8mp.dtsi gives to flexspi, Verdin QSPI_1, which gets a
dynamic bus number instead.
