Yeah, i totally missed that one.

Never. =)

The spi_bitbang.c functions spi_bitbang_setup() and
spi_bitbang_transfer() use spi_master_get_devdata() to get the bitbang
data structure. Most drivers want to be able to get a pointer to
private data using spi_master_get_devdata(), so the
bitbang-structure-as-first-member trick is used so the driver code and
the bitbang functions can coexist.

A couple of in-tree drivers do the same thing and store the bitbang
structure as the first member. For instance, have a look at
omap_uwire.c and spi_gpio.c.

Maybe adding a spi_alloc_bitbang_master() function to spi_bitbang.c
that does the bitbang structure allocation behind the scenes would be
a good thing. The bitbang drivers can then use that function instead
of spi_alloc_master(). The bitbang code itself can retrieve the
bitbang structure by doing offset calculations from the master
pointer. That would free up the private pointer.

There may be better ways to do this though...

Good plan, I'll add some timeout handling code.

I'll fix that up.

I wanted to fail gracefully if the spi layer or the clock framework
handed us zeroes. They are most likely not supposed to do so, but it
probably doesn't hurt to keep the check. This to catch bugs that may
be around - the spi setup code flow is pretty complex and the clock
framework implementation may vary from processor to processor.

Cool, will fix.

That makes sense. =)

Thanks for your review!
