This does also seem like a terribly generic name - Google suggests that this is actually a series of numbered products (eg, Genio 700), perhaps we should be using the specific numbers here? I guess users would care which they're talking to. It really parses as being "generic I/O" which would be an end run around describing the actual product though it's not actually that.

Actually I did. I saw: "WARNING: DT compatible string "mediatek,genio" appears un-documented -- check ./Documentation/devicetree/bindings/" But there are no bindings for spidev. I've made some grep on already supported compatible devices like "micron,spi-authenta", but I didn't find documentation to add "mediatek,genio". Do you know where I should document it please ?

AFAII from [1] , you can easily modify the current spidev@0 (If you don't want to keep userspace interface) or simply add (in the DTS or overlay) another node foo@1 with a different compatible (and so on) according to the chip you plug on the header pin.

Because there are no logical order:
{ .compatible = "rohm,dh2228fv", .data = &spidev_of_check },
{ .compatible = "lineartechnology,ltc2488", .data = &spidev_of_check },
{ .compatible = "semtech,sx1301", .data = &spidev_of_check },
{ .compatible = "lwn,bk4", .data = &spidev_of_check },
{ .compatible = "dh,dhcom-board", .data = &spidev_of_check },
{ .compatible = "menlo,m53cpld", .data = &spidev_of_check },
{ .compatible = "cisco,spi-petra", .data = &spidev_of_check },
{ .compatible = "micron,spi-authenta", .data = &spidev_of_check },
{ .compatible = "mediatek,genio", .data = &spidev_of_check },
I can put it first then before "rohm", or before
"micron,spi-authenta" you prefer.
I can also introduce another patch in my serie to re-order everything.

If you read that linked thread, NXP was also trying exposing the SPI bus on a pin header. IMHO this is just misusing the userspace spi-dev. That being said, exposing something on a pinheader (or on a standardized connector) seems like a common thing and we should be working towards a good solution. I still think Robs proposal for the mikrobus connector makes also sense for your case. -michael

That's not how this works. Anyone connecting something to the SPI header will need to update the DT to reflect whatever they have connected, if that is something that should be controlled with spidev then they should add the compatible for that thing to the driver. If that is something that has a regular driver then the regular driver will be used.

For the mikrobus case, it's consistent to have a connector because it fit with other "add-on" board which can be plug on the "mother board". Here I've just a simple debug pin header. I've taken a look at raspberry pi and Beaglebone black DTS, they don't use connector, but DTS overlay to enable SPI. I think you're right when you say that I'm misusing the userspace spi-dev.

If someone needs the SPI, then he should use overlay (or modify the DTS locally). I thought I could use spidev to bring SPI into the userspace, to help future users play with it ("/dev/spidev0.0").
