[PATCH v6] spi: orion.c: Add direct access mode

Stefan Roese sr at denx.de
Wed Apr 20 03:11:08 PDT 2016


This patch adds support for the direct write mode to the Orion SPI
driver which is used on the Marvell Armada based SoCs. In this direct
mode, all data written to (or read from) a specifically mapped MBus
window (linked to one SPI chip-select on one of the SPI controllers)
will be transferred directly to the SPI bus. Without the need to control
the SPI registers in between. This can improve the SPI transfer rate in
such cases.

Currently only the direct write mode is supported. This mode especially
benefits from the SPI direct mode, as the data bytes are written
head-to-head to the SPI bus, without any additional addresses, that
are also written in the direct read mode.

One use-case for this direct write mode is, programming a FPGA bitstream
image into the FPGA connected to the SPI bus at maximum speed.

This mode is described in chapter "22.5.2 Direct Write to SPI" in the
Marvell Armada XP Functional Spec Datasheet.

It should be possible to support SPI-NOR and SPI-NAND devices via
this direct access mode as well. But this needs further work, e.g.:
- The mapping of the MBus window needs to get extended to span
  the complete flash device size
- The address / control data needs to get inserted into the SPI
  controller registers

v6:
- Switched from memcpy() to writesl() for the TX transfer.
- Only one page is mapped via ioremap as this is sufficient for
  the currently implemented simple TX transfer.
- Removed max_transfer_size() as its not needed with the current
  one page mapping that supports an unlimited amount of SPI data.
- Added a comment to the 'reg' description in the DT bindings
  documentation as suggested by Arnd.
- Changed 'reg' and 'ranges' to use '<' and '>' in this file.
- Changed size to 0xffffffff in this file.
- Added a small paragraph to the commit text, describing the
  possibility to support SPI-NOR & SPI-NAND devices via this
  direct access mode.

v5:
- Added some documentation for the direct mode to the orion-spi DT
  bindings document, including an example and a reference to the
  mbus DT bindings documentation.

v4:
- Add max_transfer_size()
- Fall back from direct-write mode to PIO mode when
  - transfer size is exceedeed
  - non-8bit transfers
- Restrict to direct-write mode for now. SPI direct read mode can
  be added later, when someone has a platform supporting this
  mode.

v3:
- Used static MBus windows again, as suggested by Arnd
- No new DT bindings needed for this. The MBus windows need to be
  configured in the 'reg' property of the SPI controller. This is
  done in a separate patch for the Armada platforms.
- The direct mapping is configured and enable by adding the
  specific MBus entry to the 'ranges' property of the 'soc' node
  in the board dts file.

v2:
- Use one MBus window for each SPI controller instead of one for
  for each SPI device. This MBus window is re-assigned, once the
  CS changes.
- Assert the CS over the entire message
- Don't restrict the direct access mode to only direct write mode
- Add check for max size before using memcpy()
- Remove spidev from DT bindings documentation
