I modified device tree file and enable spi using 4 GPIO pins, which support pinmux and switch from gpio to spi function. But in Linux kernel code, how does the code know which spi bus/pins is used? For example, I find a Linux kernel driver: max1111.c, which drives a spi ADC chip. But I checked its code, and don't find where the spi bus/pins is specified.
I paste max1111.c below.

SPI device driver (
max1111
in your case) get pointer to underlying SPI-controller (struct spi_device *spi
) during probe stage (max1111_probe
). Driver should use it send requests to controller (using spi_sync, for example). Driver doesn't know about what PINS SPI-controller use.What SPI-controller is passed to SPI device driver? SPI device, should be declared in the DTS-file inside SPI-controller node. The controller initialized from SPI-controller node is passed to device
probe
.SPI-controller can be hardware (specific to SoC), or SPI-GPIO. In case of hardware SPI, pins usually dedicated and specified in SoC TRM. In case of SPI-GPIO, GPIO names are specified inside DTS-properties of SPI-GPIO. The properties names are: gpio-sck, gpio-miso, gpio-mosi, num-chipselects and cs-gpios (list).
