[PATCH] spi: documentation does not need to set driver's bus_type field

2007-02-12T17:48:30+00:00

The spi_register_driver() sets the bus_type field of the spi_driver being
registered, so there is no need to have it set in the driver itself.

[PATCH] spi: add spi_set_drvdata() and spi_get_drvdata()

2007-02-12T17:48:30+00:00

Add wrappers for getting and setting the driver data using spi_device
instead of using dev_{get|set}_drvdata with &spi->dev, to mirror the
platform_{get|set}_drvdata.

[PATCH] spi: stabilize PIO mode transfers on PXA2xx systems

2006-12-10T17:55:40+00:00

Stabilize PIO mode transfers against a range of word sizes and FIFO
thresholds and fixes word size setup/override issues.

1) 16 and 32 bit DMA/PIO transfers broken due to timing differences.
2) Potential for bad transfer counts due to transfer size assumptions.
3) Setup function broken is multiple ways.
4) Per transfer bit_per_word changes break DMA setup in pump_tranfers.
5) False positive timeout are not errors.
6) Changes in pxa2xx_spi_chip not effective in calls to setup.
7) Timeout scaling wrong for PXA255 NSSP.
8) Driver leaks memory while busy during unloading.

Known issues:

SPI_CS_HIGH and SPI_LSB_FIRST settings in struct spi_device are not handled.

Testing:

This patch has been test against the "random length, random bits/word,
random data (verified on loopback) and stepped baud rate by octaves
(3.6MHz to 115kHz)" test.  It is robust in PIO mode, using any
combination of tx and rx thresholds, and also in DMA mode (which
internally computes the thresholds).

Much thanks to Ned Forrester for exhaustive reviews, fixes and testing.
The driver is substantially better for his efforts.

Documentation: remove duplicated words

2006-10-03T20:57:56+00:00

Remove many duplicated words under Documentation/ and do other small
cleanups.

Examples:
        "and and" --> "and"
        "in in" --> "in"
        "the the" --> "the"
        "the the" --> "to the"
        ...

[PATCH] SPI: busnum == 0 needs to work

2006-05-16T21:33:57+00:00

We need to be able to have a "SPI bus 0" matching chip numbering; but
that number was wrongly used to flag dynamic allocation of a bus number.

This patch resolves that issue; now negative numbers trigger dynamic alloc.

It also updates the how-to-write-a-controller-driver overview to mention
this stuff.

[PATCH] SPI: add PXA2xx SSP SPI Driver

2006-05-16T21:33:56+00:00

This driver turns a PXA2xx synchronous serial port (SSP) into a SPI master
controller (see Documentation/spi/spi_summary).  The driver has the following
features:

- Support for any PXA2xx SSP
- SSP PIO and SSP DMA data transfers.
- External and Internal (SSPFRM) chip selects.
- Per slave device (chip) configuration.
- Full suspend, freeze, resume support.

[PATCH] SPI: spi_butterfly, restore lost deltas

2006-02-06T20:17:17+00:00

This resolves some minor version skew glitches that accumulated for the AVR
Butterfly adapter driver, which caused among other things the existence of
a duplicate Kconfig entry.  Most of it boils down to comment updates, but in
one case it removes some now-superfluous code that would be better if not
copied into other controller-level drivers.

[PATCH] SPI: add spi_butterfly driver

2006-01-14T00:29:56+00:00

This adds a bitbanging parport based adaptor cable for AVR Butterfly, giving
SPI links to its DataFlash chip and (eventually) firmware running in the card.

[PATCH] spi: misc fixes

2006-01-14T00:29:56+00:00

This collects some small SPI patches that seem to be missing from the MM tree:

  - spi_butterfly kbuild hooks got dropped somehow; this restores them
  - quick fix for a (theoretical?) m25p80_write() oops noted by Andrew
  - quick fix for a potential config-specific oops for mtd_dataflash()
  - minor doc tweaks

[PATCH] SPI core tweaks, bugfix

2006-01-14T00:29:55+00:00

This includes various updates to the SPI core:

  - Fixes a driver model refcount bug in spi_unregister_master() paths.

  - The spi_master structures now have wrappers which help keep drivers
    from needing class-level get/put for device data or for refcounts.

  - Check for a few setup errors that would cause oopsing later.

  - Docs say more about memory management.  Highlights the use of DMA-safe
    i/o buffers, and zero-initializing spi_message and such metadata.

  - Provide a simple alloc/free for spi_message and its spi_transfer;
    this is only one of the possible memory management policies.

Nothing to break code that already works.
