[PATCH v2 2/3] platform/x86: serial-multi-instantiate: Fix SPI chip select on platforms with incomplete ACPI cs-gpios
From: Khalil
Date: Mon Apr 13 2026 - 06:07:17 EST
Some HP laptops with Intel Lunar Lake and dual Cirrus Logic CS35L56
amplifiers over SPI have an incomplete cs-gpios property in the SPI
controller's _DSD - it only declares the first chip select. The
remaining chip select GPIOs are defined as GpioIo resources in the
peripheral's ACPI node but are not referenced by the controller.
This causes the SPI framework to reject devices whose chip select
exceeds num_chipselect with -EINVAL, preventing the second amplifier
from probing.
Fix this on known affected platforms by:
1. Adding a DMI quirk table to identify affected systems
2. For devices with chip selects outside the controller's range,
acquiring the GPIO from the peripheral's ACPI GpioIo resource
3. Extending num_chipselect and reallocating the controller's
cs_gpiods array to install the GPIO descriptor
4. Setting SPI_CONTROLLER_GPIO_SS so the framework calls both
the GPIO toggle and controller->set_cs (needed for clock
gating on Intel LPSS controllers)
Only chip selects beyond the controller's num_chipselect are fixed up.
Chip selects within range with a NULL cs_gpiods entry are left alone,
as NULL means "native chip select" which is intentional.
Tested on HP EliteBook 8 G1i 16 inch (board 8D8A) with 2x CS35L56
Rev B0 amplifiers. Both amplifiers probe and produce audio.
