From 543bb255a1987836e64f5b7a63664ead8b32b042 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stephen Warren Date: Tue, 26 Mar 2013 20:37:57 -0600 Subject: spi: add ability to validate xfer->bits_per_word in SPI core Allow SPI masters to define the set of bits_per_word values they support. If they do this, then the SPI core will reject transfers that attempt to use an unsupported bits_per_word value. This eliminates the need for each SPI driver to implement this checking in most cases.
