Re: [PATCH 1/1] spi: altera: Change to dynamic allocation of spi id

[Russ Weight]

If there are no concerns with this patch, it will need to have the "cc stable"
tag added for earlier kernels.

I don't think it needs a "Fixes" tag, as the problem has been there since the
driver was introduced.

Thanks,
