Hi Matthias,

The generic spi flash driver (drivers/mtd/spi/spi_flash.c) uses the spi low level driver's spi_xfer() function with len=0 to deassert the SPI flash' chip select. But the i.MX28 spi driver rejects this call due to len=0.
This patch implements an exception for len=0 with the SPI_XFER_END flag set. This results in an extra read with the chip select being deasserted afterwards. There seems to be no way to deassert the signal by hand.

What about the approach bellow (untested)?
Actually I meant this:
--- a/drivers/spi/mxs_spi.c +++ b/drivers/spi/mxs_spi.c @@ -136,7 +136,7 @@ int spi_xfer(struct spi_slave *slave, unsigned int bitlen, if (!rx && !tx) return 0;
- if (flags & SPI_XFER_BEGIN) + if ((flags & SPI_XFER_BEGIN) && len) mxs_spi_start_xfer(ssp_regs);
while (len--) {
