Merge tag 'spi-v5.18' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/broonie/spi
Pull spi updates from Mark Brown: "The overwhelming bulk of this pull request is a change from Uwe Kleine-König which changes the return type of the remove() function to void as part of some wider work he's doing to do this for all bus types, causing updates to most SPI device drivers. The branch with that on has been cross merged with a couple of other trees which added new SPI drivers this cycle, I'm not expecting any build issues resulting from the change. Otherwise it's been a relatively quiet release with some new device support, a few minor features and the welcome completion of the conversion of the subsystem to use GPIO descriptors rather than numbers: - Change return type of remove() to void. - Completion of the conversion of SPI controller drivers to use GPIO descriptors rather than numbers. - Quite a few DT schema conversions. - Support for multiple SPI devices on a bus in ACPI systems. - Big overhaul of the PXA2xx SPI driver. - Support for AMD AMDI0062, Intel Raptor Lake, Mediatek MT7986 and MT8186, nVidia Tegra210 and Tegra234, Renesas RZ/V2L, Tesla FSD and Sunplus SP7021" [ And this is obviously where that spi change that snuck into the regulator tree _should_ have been :^] * tag 'spi-v5.18' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/broonie/spi: (124 commits) spi: fsi: Implement a timeout for polling status spi: Fix erroneous sgs value with min_t() spi: tegra20: Use of_device_get_match_data() spi: mediatek: add ipm design support for MT7986 spi: Add compatible for MT7986 spi: sun4i: fix typos in comments spi: mediatek: support tick_delay without enhance_timing spi: Update clock-names property for arm pl022 spi: rockchip-sfc: fix platform_get_irq.cocci warning spi: s3c64xx: Add spi port configuration for Tesla FSD SoC spi: dt-bindings: samsung: Add fsd spi compatible spi: topcliff-pch: Prevent usage of potentially stale DMA device spi: tegra210-quad: combined sequence mode spi: tegra210-quad: add acpi support spi: npcm-fiu: Fix typo ("npxm") spi: Fix Tegra QSPI example spi: qup: replace spin_lock_irqsave by spin_lock in hard IRQ spi: cadence: fix platform_get_irq.cocci warning spi: Update NXP Flexspi maintainer details dt-bindings: mfd: maxim,max77802: Convert to dtschema ...
