Subject: [PATCH] SPI/i.MX: fix broken error handling for gpio_request
Date: Tue, 24 Nov 2009 17:53:07 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <807htfsw3w.fsf@merkur.tec.linutronix.de> (raw)

i.MX35-provided chipselects are represented using negative numbers. If
gpio_request() fails and the previous chipselect was a negative number,
the while loop is endless (i is never decremented).

Also, the error loop would never call gpio_free on chipselect[0].

And finally, the error message was missing an endline.

This patch is against 2.6.32-rc8.
