[PATCH v3 2/2] spi: ma35d1-qspi: Enable GPIO chip selects

From: Chi-Wen Weng

Date: Mon Aug 03 2026 - 03:54:20 EST


From: Chi-Wen Weng <cwweng@xxxxxxxxxxx>

The generic SPI controller binding allows GPIO-based chip selects, but
the MA35D1 QSPI driver does not currently enable the SPI core's GPIO
descriptor handling.

Enable GPIO chip-select support and distinguish the total number of chip
selects from the controller's two native chip selects. Allow num-cs to
include additional GPIO chip selects and set max_native_cs to the native
hardware limit.

Add a setup callback that rejects chip-select indices beyond the native
limit when no GPIO descriptor is present. Also reject active-high
polarity only for native chip selects, while allowing GPIO chip-select
polarity to be handled by the GPIO subsystem.
