[PATCH v4 5/9] spi: expand device name to include enabled CS lines for multi-CS devices
From: Jonathan Santos
Date: Tue Oct 20 2026 - 21:58:29 EST
The device name for SPI devices was formatted as <controller>.<cs0>,
always using only the first chip-select index, ignoring the remaining CS
lines.
Change the naming format to <controller>.<cs0>-<csN> for multi-cs
devices so that the range of active chip-selects is reflected in the
device name. Since we are not expecting sparse values for logical CS
values, adopt the range format.
Signed-off-by: Jonathan Santos <Jonathan.Santos@xxxxxxxxxx>

Changes in v4:
* Opted for the range format, since we decide to limit logical CS values
to a contiguous sequence.
Changes in v3:
* replaced `int idx = 1` by `unsigned int idx = 1` in the for loop.
Changes in v2:
* New patch.
