[PATCH RFC 1/2] Documentation: devicetree: Add property for ignoring the dummy bits sent before read transfer

From: Aswath Govindraju
Date: Wed Dec 09 2020 - 12:58:28 EST


Dummy zero bits are sent before data during a read transfer. This causes
the data read to be shifted to the right. To fix this send zero bits after
the address during a read transfer.

Add property to send zero bits after the address during a read transfer.
