+Subject: [PATCH 5/7] spi/ath79: avoid multiple initialization of the SPI controller
+
+Currently we are initializing the SPI controller in
+the chip select line function, and that function is
+called once for each SPI device on the bus. If a
+board has multiple SPI devices, the controller will
+be initialized multiple times.
+
+Introduce ath79_spi_{en,dis}able helper functions,
+and call those from probe/response in order to avoid
+the mutliple initialization of the controller.
