commit 0135c03df914f0481c61f097c78d37cece84f330 upstream.

The bcm63xx SPI controller does not allow manual control of the CS
lines and will toggle it automatically before and after sending data,
so we are limited to messages that fit in the FIFO buffer. Since the CS
lines aren't available as GPIOs either, we will need to make slave
drivers aware of this limitation so they can handle them accordingly.

This seems a bit new featureish...

It is?  Reads like a bugfix to me to get crappy hardware to work
properly :)

Almost like a quirk addition.

Anyway, it's a 9 line patch that the users of the hardware require to
get it to work, is it a problem to add?

thanks,

Yes, it is a quirk addition.

It's one of these cases where if someone notices the change it's because
it causes the consumer driver to exercise code paths that they weren't
otherwise exercising (for a little used feature too).  If it were just
in the driver perhaps but the actual use of the change would be in other
code which makes it more risky.
