Hi All, This patch series adds support for the eSPI controller found on the newer range of Freescale SoCs including the 85xx, P1/P2xx (and I believe the P4xx) series. The reason this is an RFC is that unfortunately the hardware on these chips does not permit indefinite SPI transactions on a

Dear Can Aydin, The reason this is an RFC is that unfortunately the hardware on these chips does not permit indefinite SPI transactions on a given chip select. A chip select is asserted only when a 'transaction length' has been passed to the controller. Once the number of characters specified

Dear Wolfgang Denk, Can Aydin, True, a GPIO pin could be re-purposed to serve as chip select, but that would involve a soldering iron and a steady hand as the P1/P2xxRDB That was not the question. Reinhard asked if the SPI Chip Select Pins could be configured such so that they can be
