Doesn't the serialization happen at the SPI "master" controller driver level, i.e. the device registered via devm_spi_register_master (or equivalent)? The spi-nor driver is a layer making requests to the underlying controller driver, which come as requests via various callbacks (e.g. transfer_one, prepare_message, mem_ops). It is that driver that should be serializing requests from higher layers. Shouldn't your "other" driver be making similar requests of the underlying controller? _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list [email protected] https://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
