Hello John, I have confirmed that the patch is totally bogus and should be ignored. Having said that there are some issues that I think need to be looked at.
interestingly enough this all came about as I tried to add a second SPI device to the MT7620a... Much like what is discussed here http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.embedded.openwrt.devel/24633 what i found is that when looking at the SPI definition in mt7620a.dtsi spi@b00 { compatible = "ralink,mt7620a-spi", "ralink,rt2880-spi"; reg = <0xb00 0x100>; resets = <&rstctrl 18>; reset-names = "spi"; #address-cells = <1>; #size-cells = <1>; status = "disabled"; pinctrl-names = "default"; pinctrl-0 = <&spi_pins>; }; that a) there is no entry "ralink,mt7620a-spi" in mt7620.c which is what I was trying to address in my patch (albeit incorrectly) b) using the original mt7620.c its possible to use "ralink,mt5350-spi" which has num_cs set to 2. c) that "ralink,rt2880-spi" must be removed from the compatibility list or a cs1 >= max cs error will result on initialization resulting in the second device not being registered. So spi@b00 { compatible = "ralink,mt5350-spi" reg = <0xb00 0x100>; resets = <&rstctrl 18>; reset-names = "spi"; #address-cells = <1>; #size-cells = <1>; status = "disabled"; pinctrl-names = "default"; pinctrl-0 = <&spi_pins>; }; works for me. my second spi device is configured correctly.
