The NFC Forum NCI specification defines both a hardware and software protocol when using a SPI physical transport to connect an NFC NCI Chipset. The hardware requirement is that, after having raised the chip select line, the SPI driver must wait for an INT line from the NFC chipset to raise before it sends the data. The chip select must be raised first though, because this is the signal that the NFC chipset will detect to wake up and then raise its INT line. If the INT line doesn't raise in a timely fashion, the SPI driver should abort operation. When data is transferred from Device host (DH) to NFC Controller (NFCC), the signaling sequence is the following: Data Transfer from DH to NFCC • 1-Master asserts SPI_CSN • 2-Slave asserts SPI_INT • 3-Master sends NCI-over-SPI protocol header and payload data • 4-Slave deasserts SPI_INT • 5-Master deasserts SPI_CSN When data must be transferred from NFCC to DH, things are a little bit different. Data Transfer from NFCC to DH • 1-Slave asserts SPI_INT -> NFC chipset irq handler called -> process reading from SPI • 2-Master asserts SPI_CSN • 3-Master send 2-octet NCI-over-SPI protocol header • 4-Slave sends 2-octet NCI-over-SPI protocol payload length • 5-Slave sends NCI-over-SPI protocol payload • 6-Master deasserts SPI_CSN In this case, SPI driver should function normally as it does today. Note that the INT line can and will be lowered anytime between beginning of step 3 and end of step 5. A low INT is therefore valid after chip select has been raised. This would be easily implemented in a single driver. Unfortunately, we don't write the SPI driver and I had to imagine some workaround trick to get the SPI and NFC drivers to work in a synchronized fashion. The trick is the following: - send an empty spi message: this will raise the chip select line, and send nothing. We expect the /CS line will stay arisen because we asked for it in the spi_transfer cs_change field - wait for a completion, that will be completed by the NFC driver IRQ handler when it knows we are in the process of sending data (NFC spec says that we use SPI in a half duplex mode, so we are either sending or receiving). - when completed, proceed with the normal data send. This has been tested and verified to work very consistently on a Nexus 10 (spi-s3c64xx driver). It may not work the same with other spi drivers. The previously defined nci_spi_ops{} whose intended purpose were to address this problem are not used anymore and therefore totally removed. The nci_spi_send() takes a new optional write_handshake_completion completion pointer. If non NULL, the nci spi layer will run the above trick when sending data to the NFC Chip. If NULL, the data is sent normally all at once and it is then the NFC driver responsibility to know what it's doing.
