[skipped the rest]

Hi, it seems I have an issue related with this new feature.

I just booted 6.8.0-rc1 on Turris Omnia (CONFIG_SPI_ORION=y,
device tree: arch/arm/boot/dts/marvell/armada-385-turris-omnia.dts)

and got the following error:

[    0.090231] spi_master spi0: No. of CS is more than max. no. of supported CS
[    0.097358] spi_master spi0: Failed to create SPI device for /soc/spi@...00/flash@0

End result: the three MTD partitions I used to have on the SPI-NOR are gone.

***

For reference, here's the output of 6.7.0 (configs as identical as they can be):

[    0.087965] spi-nor spi0.0: s25fl164k (8192 Kbytes)
[    0.183729] Freeing initrd memory: 4676K
[    0.191605] 3 fixed-partitions partitions found on MTD device spi0.0
[    0.191619] Creating 3 MTD partitions on "spi0.0":

[    0.191982] 0x0000000f0000-0x000000100000 : "u-boot-env"


I haven't bisected this further, but maybe the error message already rings a bell.


Best regards, Klaus
