This binding references spi-peripheral-props.yaml which sets the default to 1, I believe it is sane to keep it that way? Thanks, Miquèl

I'm not sure. The driver didn't need RX before, and we didn't have any property that was expressing whether we had MISO in the device tree. That means we had both devices with and without MISO expressed in the same way, the driver handling both (by ignoring MISO entirely). With this patch, you now introduce a property that specifies whether MISO is connected or not, and defaults to MISO being there. And a later patch will use MISO if it's available. This means that, while it's working fine for devices that had MISO connected, devices that didn't are assumed to have it, and the driver makes use of it. Maxime

Ah yes, I get your concern. I thought you wanted to talk about the fact that it was not constrained in the yaml description. Your concern is about breaking existing devices. Your concern is real, designs not wiring the MISO line which do not describe this in the device tree will no longer succeed to probe with the current implementation. Technically speaking, they're broken since 2021: c476d430bfc0 ("dt-bindings: display: Add SPI peripheral schema to SPI based displays") We actually discussed this with Sebastian, right there: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230609145951.853533-6-miquel.raynal@bootlin.com/T/#m9286cdb4d617c5efc29052b552e981ecfa2628e4 And the conclusion was that we decided not to care about the broken descriptions (because, let's agree on this, not wiring the MISO line is not a standard spi design). But I don't have a strong opinion TBH, so if you think it's best to prevent these probes from failing (note that I already added a debug line explicitly saying why the probe would fail, "easy" to identify) I'm fine turning the check as a warning and ignoring the error to avoid failing. Thanks, Miquèl

Validation didn't pass but that's a bit irrelevant for devices that shipped already. > We actually discussed this with Sebastian, right there: > https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230609145951.853533-6-miquel.raynal@bootlin.com/T/#m9286cdb4d617c5efc29052b552e981ecfa2628e4 > > And the conclusion was that we decided not to care about the broken > descriptions (because, let's agree on this, not wiring the MISO line is > not a standard spi design). It might not be, but it's there. Just like the 9 bits per word :) All the current in-tree users seem to only mux (at least, I haven't checked the design) MOSI, and the devices I worked on with this driver also didn't iirc. > But I don't have a strong opinion TBH, so if you think it's best to > prevent these probes from failing (note that I already added a debug > line explicitly saying why the probe would fail, "easy" to identify) > I'm fine turning the check as a warning and ignoring the error to > avoid failing. Updating the DT isn't always an option, so yeah, please make it backward compatible. Maxime

The ST7789V LCD controller supports regular SPI wiring, as well as no Rx data line at all. The operating system needs to know whether it can read registers from the device or not. Let's detail this specific design possibility by bounding the spi-rx-bus-width property.
