      spi: spi-fsl-dspi: Always use the TCFQ devices in poll mode · 5d2af8bc
      Vladimir Oltean authored
      With this patch, the "interrupts" property from the device tree bindings
      is ignored, even if present, if the driver runs in TCFQ mode.
      
      Switching to using the DSPI in poll mode has several distinct
      benefits:
      
      - With interrupts, the DSPI driver in TCFQ mode raises an IRQ after each
        transmitted word. There is more time wasted for the "waitq" event than
        for actual I/O. And the DSPI IRQ count can easily get the largest in
        /proc/interrupts on Freescale boards with attached SPI devices.
      
      - The SPI I/O time is both lower, and more consistently so. Attached to
        some Freescale devices are either PTP switches, or SPI RTCs. For
        reading time off of a SPI slave device, it is important that all SPI
        transfers take a deterministic time to complete.
      
      - In poll mode there is much less time spent by the CPU in hardirq
        context, which helps with the response latency of the system, and at
        the same time there is more control over when interrupts must be
        disabled (to get a precise timestamp measurement): win-win.
      
      On the LS1021A-TSN board, where the SPI device is a SJA1105 PTP switch
      (with a bits_per_word=8 driver), I created a "benchmark" where I read
      its PTP time once per second, for 120 seconds. Each "read PTP time" is a
      12-byte SPI transfer. I then recorded the time before putting the first
      byte in the TX FIFO, and the time after reading the last byte from the
      RX FIFO. That is the transfer delay in nanoseconds.
      
      Interrupt mode:
      
        delay: min 125120 max 168320 mean 150286 std dev 17675.3
      
      Poll mode:
      
        delay: min 69440 max 119040 mean 70312.9 std dev 8065.34
      
      Both the mean latency and the standard deviation are more than 50% lower
      in poll mode than in interrupt mode. This is with an 'ondemand' governor
      on an otherwise idle system - therefore running mostly at 600 MHz out of
      a max of 1200 MHz.

      spi: stm32-qspi: Fix kernel oops when unbinding driver · 3c0af1dd
      Patrice Chotard authored
      spi_master_put() must only be called in .probe() in case of error.
      
      As devm_spi_register_master() is used during probe, spi_master_put()
      mustn't be called in .remove() callback.
      
      It fixes the following kernel WARNING/Oops when executing
      echo "58003000.spi" > /sys/bus/platform/drivers/stm32-qspi/unbind :
