[PATCH v3 0/5] Add memory mapped read support for ti-qspi

Changes since v2:
Remove mmap_lock_mutex.
Optimize enable/disable of mmap mode.

Changes since v1:
Introduce API in SPI core that MTD flash driver can call for mmap read
instead of directly calling spi-master driver callback. This API makes
sure that SPI core msg queue is locked during mmap transfers.
v1: https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/9/4/103


Cover letter:

This patch series adds support for memory mapped read port of ti-qspi.
ti-qspi has a special memory mapped port through which SPI flash
memories can be accessed directly via SoC specific memory region.

First patch adds a method to pass flash specific information like read
opcode, dummy bytes etc and to request mmap read. Second patch
implements mmap read method in ti-qspi driver. Patch 3 adapts m25p80 to
use mmap read method before trying normal SPI transfer. Patch 4 and 5
add memory map region DT entries for DRA7xx and AM43xx SoCs.

This patch series is based on the discussions here:
http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-spi/msg04796.html

Tested on DRA74 EVM and AM437x-SK.
Read performance increases from ~100kB/s to ~2.5MB/s.
