Re: [Nios2-dev] [PATCH] spi: bitbang: Make setup_transfer callback optional

Hi Pelle,

Just some minor nitpicks.

This commit needs a Signed-off-by tag.

Also, maybe you can avoid talking about spi-altera in the commit, since
this change is not related to it. Instead you can explain that some SPI
controllers don't register the callback (e.g. spi-altera) and so this
commit makes it optional to prevent a NULL dereference.

You explained in the cover that you are fixing commit 30af9b558a56 so
you probably want to add a Fixes tag (Documentation/SubmittingPatches
explains this procedure). The stable team will use the Fixes tag to
backport the change if needed.

retval is only used in this scope, so you can declare it only here:

        if (bitbang->setup_transfer) {
                int retval = bitbang->setup_transfer(spi, NULL);
                if (retval < 0)
                        return retval;
        }

Other than that, the commit looks good.
