Hi Joe, This patch series adds slave mode for lpspi controller. So this driver can support both master and slave mode for lpspi controller after apply this patch series. Currently, both master mode and slave mode share the code in this driver. Therefore, using spi_master to represent the structure of slave mode will cause confusion.
When Geert Uytterhoeven add the slave support for spi, he had done " Generalize SPI 'master' to 'controller'" step, too. The commit ID is 8caab75fd2c2a92667cbb1cd315720bede3feaa9. Thank you.
