[PATCH] spi: tegra114: initialize native chip selects inactive
From: Abraham Zukor
Date: Sat Jul 25 2026 - 00:32:06 EST
tegra_spi_probe() initializes SPI_COMMAND1 with only SPI_M_S, leaving
CS_POL_INACTIVE clear for every chip select. This drives every native
active-low chip select low until tegra_spi_setup() runs for that device.
SPI children are registered and probed one at a time. A synchronous
probe of an earlier child can therefore transfer while a later child's
chip select is still asserted. On a Tegra234 system with active-low devices
on CS0 and CS1, this caused both devices to be selected when the CS1
device probed first. Its initialization then intermittently failed. A
logic analyzer showed CS0 remained low throughout the CS1 transfer and
went high only after the CS1 probe failed.
The Tegra234 TRM also documents all CS_POL_INACTIVE bits as one after
reset, so the existing probe code replaces the hardware's safe reset
polarity with zeros on that SoC.
Set CS_POL_INACTIVE for all native chip selects during controller probe.
This matches SPI's default active-low polarity and the documented
Tegra234 reset polarity. tegra_spi_setup() continues to configure the
inactive polarity of SPI_CS_HIGH devices before their drivers probe.
