Subject: spi: allow ancillary devices to share parent's chip selects
X-Git-Tag: v7.1-rc1~153^2~81
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ffef4123043c5bb29e61052a41e577ae1ee6837a;p=thirdparty%2Flinux.git

spi: allow ancillary devices to share parent's chip selects

When registering an ancillary SPI device, the current code flags a chip
select conflict with the parent device. This happens because the
ancillary device intentionally uses one of the parent's chip selects,
but __spi_add_device() checks against all existing devices including
the parent.

Allow this by passing the parent device pointer to __spi_add_device()
and skipping the conflict check when the existing device is the parent.
