[PATCH RFC] spi: orion.c: Add direct write mode

Stefan Roese sr at denx.de
Tue Jan 12 01:02:19 PST 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 a specifically mapped MBus window (linked
to only 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.
