Thank you for testing.
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/2c8606040a808aa01d2d9e4f5b9332e87bb66377
this patch is causing build failure. As this patch is using the old interface( i.e., spi->chip_select) 
for accessing the chip_select variable so, build failure is observed on applying my patch series 
on top of this. I have already sent the below patch to fix this issue by replacing the spi->chip_select
references with new set/get APIs & it's been acked as well.
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230515133553.46mownenmclcauec@mobilestation/

If possible, could please retest by first applying the fix patch 
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230515133553.46mownenmclcauec@mobilestation/ 
on spi for-next branch followed by this patch series.

If it works fine, then please provide your Tested-by tag for this patch.

Regards,
Amit
