please also keep an eye on my reply to Linus' mail pointing out some
other issues where the driver should not tie into soc-specific areas
like the clock controller etc.


Thanks

As stated, please don't directly access soc blocks like the clock
controller or iomuxes, there are standard APIs like the general
clock API and also assigned-clock* devicetree properties.

Similarly for pinctrl access.

So there should not be any writel (or ioremap) at all in this spi driver
I'd think.
