There are SoCs that use the same FIFO depth for all the instances of the SPI IP. See the fifo_lvl_mask defined for gs101 for example: .fifo_lvl_mask = { 0x7f, 0x7f, 0x7f, 0x7f, 0x7f, 0x7f, 0x7f, 0x7f, 0x7f, 0x7f, 0x7f, 0x7f, 0x7f, 0x7f, 0x7f, 0x7f}, Instead of specifying the FIFO depth with the same value for all 16 nodes in this case, allow such SoCs to infer the FIFO depth from the compatible. There are other SoCs than can benefit of this, see: {gs101, fsd, exynos850, s3c641, s3c2443}_spi_port_config. The FIFO depth inferred from the compatible has a higher precedence than the one that might be specified via device tree, the driver shall know better.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
