Merge series "spi: dw: Add full Baikal-T1 SPI Controllers support" from Serge Semin <Sergey.Semin@baikalelectronics.ru>: Originally I intended to merge a dedicated Baikal-T1 System Boot SPI Controller driver into the kernel and leave the DW APB SSI driver untouched. But after a long discussion (see the link at the bottom of the letter) Mark and Andy persuaded me to integrate what we developed there into the DW APB SSI core driver to be useful for another controllers, which may have got the same peculiarities/problems as ours: - No IRQ. - No DMA. - No GPIO CS, so a native CS is utilized. - small Tx/Rx FIFO depth. - Automatic CS assertion/de-assertion. - Slow system bus. All of them have been fixed in the framework of this patchset in some extent at least for the SPI memory operations. As I expected it wasn't that easy and the integration took that many patches as you can see from the subject. Though some of them are mere cleanups or weakly related with the subject fixes, but we just couldn't leave the code as is at some places since we were working with the DW APB SSI driver anyway. Here is what we did to fix the original DW APB SSI driver, to make it less messy. First two patches are just cleanups to simplify the DW APB SSI device initialization a bit. We suggest to discard the IRQ threshold macro as unused and use a ternary operator to initialize the set_cs callback instead of assigning-and-updating it. Then we've discovered that the n_bytes field of the driver private data is used by the DW APB SSI IRQ handler, which requires it to be initialized before the SMP memory barrier and to be visible from another CPUs. Speaking about the SMP memory barrier. Having one right after the shared resources initialization is enough and there is no point in using the spin-lock to protect the Tx/Rx buffer pointers. The protection functionality is redundant there by the driver design. (Though I have a doubt whether the SMP memory barrier is also required there because the normal IO-methods like readl/writel implies a full memory barrier. So any memory operations performed before them are supposed to be seen by devices and another CPUs. See the patch log for details of my concern.) Thirdly we've found out that there is some confusion in the IRQs masking/unmasking/clearing in the SPI-transfer procedure. Multiple interrupts are unmasked on the SPI-transfer initialization, but just TXEI is only masked back on completion. Similarly IRQ status isn't cleared on the controller reset, which actually makes the reset being not full and errors prone in the controller probe procedure. Another very important optimization is using the IO-relaxed accessors in the dw_read_io_reg()/dw_write_io_reg() methods. Since the Tx/Rx FIFO data registers are the most frequently accessible controller resource, using relaxed accessors there will significantly improve the data read/write performance. At least on Baikal-T1 SoC such modification opens up a way to have the DW APB SSI controller working with higher SPI bus speeds, than without it. Fifthly we've made an effort to cleanup the code using the SPI-device private data - chip_data. We suggest to remove the chip type from there since it isn't used and isn't implemented right anyway. Then instead of having a bus speed, clock divider, transfer mode preserved there, and recalculating the CR0 fields of the SPI-device-specific phase, polarity and frame format each time the SPI transfer is requested, we can save it in the chip_data instance. By doing so we'll make that structure finally used as it was supposed to by design (see the spi-fsl-dspi.c, spi-pl022.c, spi-pxa2xx.c drivers for examples). Sixthly instead of having the SPI-transfer specific CR0-update callback, we suggest to implement the DW APB SSI controller capabilities approach. By doing so we can now inject the vendor-specific peculiarities in different parts of the DW APB SSI core driver (which is required to implement both SPI-transfers and the SPI memory operations). This will also make the code less confusing like defining a callback in the core driver, setting it up in the glue layer, then calling it from the core driver again. Seeing the small capabilities implementation embedded in-situ is more readable than tracking the callbacks assignments. This will concern the CS-override, Keembay master setup, DW SSI-specific CR0 registers layout capabilities. Seventhly since there are going to be two types of the transfers implemented in the DW APB SSI core driver, we need a common method to set the controller configuration like, Tx/Rx-mode, bus speed, data frame size and number of data frames to read in case of the memory operations. So we just detached the corresponding code from the SPI-transfer-one method and made it to be a part of the new dw_spi_update_config() function, which is former update_cr0(). Note that the new method will be also useful for the glue drivers, which due to the hardware design need to create their own memory operations (for instance, for the dirmap-operations provided in the Baikal-T System Boot SPI controller driver). Eighthly it is the data IO procedure and IRQ-based SPI-transfer implementation refactoring. The former one will look much simpler if the buffers initial pointers and the buffers length data utilized instead of the Tx/Rx buffers start and end pointers. The later one currently lacks of valid execution at the final stage of the SPI-transfer. So if there is no data left to send, but there is still data which needs to be received, the Tx FIFO Empty IRQ will constantly happen until all of the requested inbound data is received. So we suggest to fix that by taking the Rx FIFO Empty IRQ into account. Ninthly it's potentially errors prone to enable the DW APB SSI interrupts before enabling the chip. It specifically concerns a case if for some reason the DW APB SSI IRQs handler is executed before the controller is enabled. That will cause a part of the outbound data loss. So we suggest to reverse the order. Tenthly in order to be able to pre-initialize the Tx FIFO with data and only the start the SPI memory operations we need to have any CS de-activated. We'll fulfil that requirement by explicitly clearing the CS on the SPI transfer completion and at the explicit controller reset. Then seeing all the currently available and potentially being created types of the SPI transfers need to perform the DW APB SSI controller status register check and the errors handler procedure, we've created a common method for all of them. Eleventhly if before we've mostly had a series of fixups, cleanups and refactorings, here we've finally come to the new functionality implementation. It concerns the poll-based transfer (as Baikal-T1 System Boot SPI controller lacks a dedicated IRQ lane connected) and the SPI memory operations implementation. If the former feature is pretty much straightforward (see the patch log for details), the later one is a bit tricky. It's based on the EEPROM-read (write-then-read) and the Tx-only modes of the DW APB SSI controller, which as performing the automatic data read and write let's us to implement the faster IO procedure than using the Tx-Rx-mode-based approach. Having the memory-operations implemented that way is the best thing we can currently do to provide the errors-less SPI transfers to SPI devices with native CS attached. Note the approach utilized here to develop the SPI memory operations can be also used to create the "automatic CS toggle problem"-free(ish) SPI transfers (combine SPI-message transfers into two buffers, disable interrupts, push-pull the combined data). But we don't provide a solution in the framework of this patchset. It is a matter of a dedicated one, which we currently don't intend to spend our time on. Finally at the closure of the this patchset you'll find patches, which provide the Baikal-T1-specific DW APB SSI controllers support. The SoC has got three SPI controllers. Two of them are pretty much normal DW APB SSI interfaces: with IRQ, DMA, FIFOs of 64 words depth, 4x CSs. But the third one as being a part of the Baikal-T1 System Boot Controller has got a very limited resources: no IRQ, no DMA, only a single native chip-select and Tx/Rx FIFOs with just 8 words depth available. In order to provide a transparent initial boot code execution the System Boot SPI Controller is also utilized by an vendor-specific IP-block, which exposes an SPI flash memory direct mapping interface.
