Support two new half-duplex SPI implementation restrictions, for links
that talk to TX-only or RX-only devices. (Existing half-duplex flavors
support both transfer directions, just not at the same time.)
Move spi_async() into the spi.c core, and stop inlining it. Then make
that function perform error checks and reject messages that demand more
than the underlying controller can support.
Based on a patch from Marek Szyprowski which did this only for the
bitbanged GPIO driver.

With this patch spi drivers can use standard spi_driver.id_table and
MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() mechanisms to bind against the devices. Just like
we do with I2C drivers.
This is useful when a single driver supports several variants of devices
but it is not possible to detect them in run-time (like non-JEDEC chips
probing in drivers/mtd/devices/m25p80.c), and when platform_data usage is
overkill.
This patch also makes life a lot easier on OpenFirmware platforms, since
with OF we extensively use proper device IDs in modaliases.

Add a new spi_master.flags word listing constraints relevant to that
controller. Define the first constraint bit: a half duplex restriction.
Include that constraint in the OMAP1 MicroWire controller driver.
Have the mmc_spi host be the first customer of this flag. Its coding
relies heavily on full duplex transfers, so it must fail when the
underlying controller driver won't perform them.
(The spi_write_then_read routine could use it too: use the
temporarily-withdrawn full-duplex speedup unless this flag is set, in
which case the existing code applies. Similarly, any spi_master
implementing only SPI_3WIRE should set the flag.)

Add two new spi_device.mode bits to accomodate more protocol options, and
pass them through to usermode drivers:
* SPI_NO_CS ... a second 3-wire variant, where the chipselect
line is removed instead of a data line; transfers are still
full duplex.
This obviously has STRONG protocol implications since the
chipselect transitions can't be used to synchronize state
transitions with the SPI master.
* SPI_READY ... defines open drain signal that's pulled low
to pause the clock. This defines a 5-wire variant (normal
4-wire SPI plus READY) and two 4-wire variants (READY plus
each of the 3-wire flavors).
Such hardware flow control can be a big win. There are ADC
converters and flash chips that expose READY signals, but not
many host controllers support it today.
The spi_bitbang code should be changed to use SPI_NO_CS instead of its
current nonportable hack. That's a mode most hardware can easily support
(unlike SPI_READY).

Move some common spi_setup() error checks into the SPI framework from the
spi_master controller drivers:
- Add a new "mode_bits" field to spi_master
- Use that in spi_setup to validate the spi->mode value being
requested. Setting this new field is now mandatory for any
controller supporting more than vanilla SPI_MODE_0.
- Update all spi_master drivers to:
* Initialize that field
* Remove current spi_setup() checks using that value.
This is a net minor code shrink.

This removes the dependency on GPIO framework and lets the SPI host
driver handle the chip select. The SPI host driver is required to keep
the CS active for the entire message unless cs_change says otherwise.
This patch collects the two/three single SPI transfers into a message.
Also the delay in read path in case use_dummy_writes are not used is
moved into the SPI host driver.

This is a doc-only patch which I hope will reduce the number of
spi_master controller driver patches starting out with a common
implementation bug.
(As in: almost every spi_master driver I see starts out with its
version of this bug. Sigh.)
It just re-emphasizes that the setup() method may be called for one
device while a transfer is active on another ... which means that most
driver implementations shouldn't touch any registers.

Change spi-gpio so that it is possible to drive SPI communications over
GPIO without the need for a chipselect signal.
This is useful in very small setups where there's only one slave device
on the bus.
This patch does not affect existing setups.
I use this for a tiny communication channel between an embedded device and
a microcontroller. There are not enough GPIOs available for chipselect
and it's not needed anyway in this case.

Generalize the old at91rm9200 "bootstrap" bitbanging SPI master driver as
"spi_gpio", so it works with arbitrary GPIOs and can be configured through
platform_data. Such SPI masters support:
- any number of bus instances (bus_num is the platform_device.id)
- any number of chipselects (one GPIO per spi_device)
- all four SPI_MODE values, and SPI_CS_HIGH
- i/o word sizes from 1 to 32 bits;
- devices configured as with any other spi_master controller
When configured using platform_data, this provides relatively low clock
rates. On platforms that support inlined GPIO calls, significantly
improved transfer speeds are also possible with a semi-custom driver.
(It's still painful when accessing flash memory, but less so.)
Sanity checked by using this version to replace both native controllers on
a board with six different SPI slaves, relying on three different
SPI_MODE_* values and both SPI_CS_HIGH settings for correct operation.

spi_new_device() allocates and registers an spi device all in one swoop.
If the driver needs to add extra data to the spi_device before it is
registered, then this causes problems. This is needed for OF device
tree support so that the SPI device tree helper can add a pointer to
the device node after the device is allocated, but before the device
is registered. OF aware SPI devices can then retrieve data out of the
device node to populate a platform data structure.
This patch splits the allocation and registration portions of code out
of spi_new_device() and creates two new functions; spi_alloc_device()
and spi_register_device(). spi_new_device() is modified to use the new
functions for allocation and registration. None of the existing users
of spi_new_device() should be affected by this change.
Drivers using the new API can forego the use of spi_board_info
structure to describe the device layout and populate data into the
spi_device structure directly.
This change is in preparation for adding an OF device tree parser to
generate spi_devices based on data in the device tree.

Teach the mcp23s08 driver about a curious feature of these chips: up to
four of them can share the same chipselect, with the SPI signals wired in
parallel, by matching two bits in the first protocol byte against two
address lines on the chip.
This is handled by three software changes:
* Platform data now holds an array of per-chip structs, not
just one chip's address and pullup configuration.
* Probe() and remove() now use another level of structure,
wrapping an instance of the original structure for each
mcp23s08 chip sharing that chipselect.
* The HAEN bit is set, so that the hardware address bits can no
longer be ignored (boot firmware may not have enabled them).
The "one struct per chip" preserves the guts of the current code,
but platform_data will need minor changes.
OLD:
/* incorrect "slave" ID may not have mattered */
.slave = 3,
.pullups = BIT(3) | BIT(1) | BIT(0),
NEW:
/* slave address _must_ match chip's wiring */
.chip[3] = {
.is_present = true,
.pullups = BIT(3) | BIT(1) | BIT(0),
},
There's no change in how things _behave_ for spi_device nodes with a
single mcp23s08 chip. New multi-chip configurations assign GPIOs in
sequence, without holes. The spi_device just resembles a bigger
controller, but internally it has multiple gpio_chip instances.

Currently, 'modalias' in the spi_device structure is a 'const char *'.
The spi_new_device() function fills in the modalias value from a passed in
spi_board_info data block. Since it is a pointer copy, the new spi_device
remains dependent on the spi_board_info structure after the new spi_device
is registered (no other fields in spi_device directly depend on the
spi_board_info structure; all of the other data is copied).
This causes a problem when dynamically propulating the list of attached
SPI devices. For example, in arch/powerpc, the list of SPI devices can be
populated from data in the device tree. With the current code, the device
tree adapter must kmalloc() a new spi_board_info structure for each new
SPI device it finds in the device tree, and there is no simple mechanism
in place for keeping track of these allocations.
This patch changes modalias from a 'const char *' to a fixed char array.
By copying the modalias string instead of referencing it, the dependency
on the spi_board_info structure is eliminated and an outside caller does
not need to maintain a separate spi_board_info allocation for each device.
If searched through the code to the best of my ability for any references
to modalias which may be affected by this change and haven't found
anything. It has been tested with the lite5200b platform in arch/powerpc.

This patch adds new platform data variable "caps", so platforms
could pass theirs capabilities into MMC core (for example, platforms
without interrupt on the CD line will most probably want to pass
MMC_CAP_NEEDS_POLL).
New platform get_cd() callback provided to optimize polling.
