+config SPI
+ bool "SPI support"
+ help
+ The "Serial Peripheral Interface" is a low level synchronous
+ protocol. Chips that support SPI can have data transfer rates
+ up to several tens of Mbit/sec. Chips are addressed with a
+ controller and a chipselect. Most SPI slaves don't support
+ dynamic device discovery; some are even write-only or read-only.
+
+ SPI is widely used by microcontollers to talk with sensors,
+ eeprom and flash memory, codecs and various other controller
+ chips, analog to digital (and d-to-a) converters, and more.
+ MMC and SD cards can be accessed using SPI protocol; and for
+ DataFlash cards used in MMC sockets, SPI must always be used.
+
+ SPI is one of a family of similar protocols using a four wire
+ interface (select, clock, data in, data out) including Microwire
+ (half duplex), SSP, SSI, and PSP. This driver framework should
+ work with most such devices and controllers.
+
+config SPI_DEBUG
+ boolean "Debug support for SPI drivers"
+ depends on SPI && DEBUG_KERNEL
+ help
+ Say "yes" to enable debug messaging (like dev_dbg and pr_debug),
+ sysfs, and debugfs support in SPI controller and protocol drivers.

+ default SPI
+ help
+ If your system has an master-capable SPI controller (which
+ provides the clock and chipselect), you can enable that
+ controller and the protocol drivers for the SPI slave chips
+ that are connected.

+config SPI_BITBANG
+ tristate "Bitbanging SPI master"
+ depends on SPI_MASTER && EXPERIMENTAL
+ help
+ With a few GPIO pins, your system can bitbang the SPI protocol.
+ Select this to get SPI support through I/O pins (GPIO, parallel
+ port, etc). Or, some systems' SPI master controller drivers use
+ this code to manage the per-word or per-transfer accesses to the
+ hardware shift registers.
+
+ This is library code, and is automatically selected by drivers that
+ need it. You only need to select this explicitly to support driver
+ modules that aren't part of this kernel tree.

+ select SPI_BITBANG
+ help
+ This uses a custom parallel port cable to connect to an AVR
+ Butterfly <http://www.atmel.com/products/avr/butterfly>, an
+ inexpensive battery powered microcontroller evaluation board.
+ This same cable can be used to flash new firmware.
