This patchset adds some improvements on the existing Armada 3700 SPI
driver, the biggest being adding support for full-duplex transfers.
The first patch fixes an undocumented (to my knowledge, I might have
missed something) behaviour where some of the content of the last
write transfer is shifted out during a read half-duplex operation.
The second one sets the correct limits on the SPI max and min
frequencies, based on the source clock rate.
The last 2 patches enable full-duplex transfers. On this controller,
full-duplex transfers cannot use the hardware FIFOs and have to be
performed either 1 or 4 bytes at a time. Because this is more
CPU intensive, and a bit slower than FIFO mode, we only use the
full-duplex way of transferring data when necessary.
Maxime Chevallier (4):
spi: a3700: Clear DATA_OUT when performing a read
spi: a3700: Set frequency limits at startup
spi: a3700: Allow to enable or disable FIFO mode
spi: a3700: Add full-duplex support
