+ bool "SPI support"
+ help
+ The "Serial Peripheral Interface" is a low level synchronous
+ protocol. Chips that support SPI can have data transfer rates
+ up to several tens of Mbit/sec. Chips are addressed with a
+ controller and a chipselect. Most SPI slaves don't support
+ dynamic device discovery; some are even write-only or read-only.
+
+ SPI is widely used by microcontollers to talk with sensors,
+ eeprom and flash memory, codecs and various other controller
+ chips, analog to digital (and d-to-a) converters, and more.
+ MMC and SD cards can be accessed using SPI protocol; and for
+ DataFlash cards used in MMC sockets, SPI must always be used.
+
+ SPI is one of a family of similar protocols using a four wire
+ interface (select, clock, data in, data out) including Microwire
+ (half duplex), SSP, SSI, and PSP. This driver framework should
+ work with most such devices and controllers.

+config SPI_DEBUG
+ boolean "Debug support for SPI drivers"

+ help
+ Say "yes" to enable debug messaging (like dev_dbg and pr_debug),
+ sysfs, and debugfs support in SPI controller and protocol drivers.

+ default SPI
+ help
+ If your system has an master-capable SPI controller (which
+ provides the clock and chipselect), you can enable that
+ controller and the protocol drivers for the SPI slave chips
+ that are connected.
