Yes, I saw when looking at the spi-devl archive. Would have been nice if the
author though of cc-ing the ppc-embedded list ;)

The patch looks ok to me (and needed actually since as Domen pointed

has been replaced by 5200 in the device tree).
And cell-index has been added to know the psc id without dirty tricks.

Once we can finally get rid of it I'll submit a patch to clear that out.

Mmm, I wasn't aware of that interface, I'll look into that. Thanks.
