[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.7 069/274] spi: mux: repair mux usage

From: Sasha Levin
Date: Mon Jun 08 2020 - 21:03:36 EST


From: Peter Rosin <peda@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit a2b02e4623fb127fa65a13e4ac5aa56e4ae16291 ]

It is not valid to cache/short out selection of the mux.

mux_control_select() only locks the mux until mux_control_deselect()
is called. mux_control_deselect() may put the mux in some low power
state or some other user of the mux might select it for other purposes.
These things are probably not happening in the original setting where
this driver was developed, but it is said to be a generic SPI mux.

Also, the mux framework will short out the actual low level muxing
operation when/if that is possible.
