Unfortunately we (=Pengutronix) have some patches pending to add
mx51-spi support, too.  And there are some other patches that will
conflict with your series (e.g. I renamed some symbols used by you:

-#define MX51_CSPI1_BASE_ADDR		(MX51_SPBA0_BASE_ADDR + 0x10000)
+#define MX51_ECSPI1_BASE_ADDR		(MX51_SPBA0_BASE_ADDR + 0x10000)
-#define MX51_CSPI2_BASE_ADDR		(MX51_AIPS2_BASE_ADDR + 0xac000)
+#define MX51_ECSPI2_BASE_ADDR		(MX51_AIPS2_BASE_ADDR + 0xac000)
-#define MX51_CSPI3_BASE_ADDR		(MX51_AIPS2_BASE_ADDR + 0xc0000)
+#define MX51_CSPI_BASE_ADDR		(MX51_AIPS2_BASE_ADDR + 0xc0000)
-#define MX51_MXC_INT_CSPI1		36
-#define MX51_MXC_INT_CSPI2		37
-#define MX51_MXC_INT_CSPI		38
+#define MX51_INT_ECSPI1			36
+#define MX51_INT_ECSPI2			37
+#define MX51_INT_CSPI			38
)

Actually I would prefer our patches, but of course I'm biased :-)

I don't know how we should handle this.  And Sascha is on vacation this
and next week.  I will investigate if our patches are already free to be
posted.

Best regards
Uwe
