      spi: dw: Simplify the SPI bus speed config procedure · c449ad74
      Serge Semin authored 
      The code currently responsible for the SPI communication speed setting up
is a bit messy. Most likely for some historical reason the bus frequency
is saved in the peripheral chip private data. It's pointless now since the
custom communication speed is a SPI-transfer-specific thing and only if
there is no SPI transfer data specified (like during the SPI memory
operations) it can be taken from the SPI device structure. But even in the
later case there is no point in having the clock divider and the SPI bus
frequency saved in the chip data, because the controller can be used for
both SPI-transfer-based and SPI-transfer-less communications. From
software point of view keeping the current clock divider in an SPI-device
specific storage may give a small performance gain (to avoid sometimes a
round-up division), but in comparison to the total SPI transfer time it
just doesn't worth saving a few CPU cycles in comparison to the total SPI
transfer time while having the harder to read code. The only optimization,
which could worth preserving in the code is to avoid unnecessary DW SPI
controller registers update if it's possible. So to speak let's simplify
the SPI communication speed update procedure by removing the clock-related
fields from the peripheral chip data and update the DW SPI clock divider
only if it's really changed. The later change is reached by keeping the
effective SPI bus speed in the internal DW SPI private data.

      spi: dw: Update SPI bus speed in a config function · f76f3142
      Serge Semin authored 
      The SPI bus speed update functionality will be useful in another parts of
the driver too (like to implement the SPI memory operations and from the
DW SPI glue layers). Let's move it to the update_cr0() method then and
since the later is now updating not only the CTRLR0 register alter its
prototype to have a generic function name not related to CR0.

Leave the too long line with the chip->clk_div setting as is for now,
since it's going to be changed later anyway.

      spi: dw: Detach SPI device specific CR0 config method · a3577bd8
      Serge Semin authored 
      Indeed there is no point in detecting the SPI peripheral device parameters
and initializing the CR0 register fields each time an SPI transfer is
executed. Instead let's define a dedicated CR0 chip-data member, which
will be initialized in accordance with the SPI device settings at the
moment of setting it up.

By doing so we'll finally make the SPI device chip_data serving as it's
supposed to - to preserve the SPI device specific DW SPI configuration.
See spi-fsl-dspi.c, spi-pl022.c, spi-pxa2xx.c drivers for example of the
way the chip data is utilized.

      spi: dw: Add DWC SSI capability · d6bbd119
      Serge Semin authored 
      Currently DWC SSI core is supported by means of setting up the
core-specific update_cr0() callback. It isn't suitable for multiple
reasons. First of all having exported several methods doing the same thing
but for different chips makes the code harder to maintain. Secondly the
spi-dw-core driver exports the methods, then the spi-dw-mmio driver sets
the private data callback with one of them so to be called by the core
driver again. That makes the code logic too complicated. Thirdly using
callbacks for just updating the CR0 register is problematic, since in case
if the register needed to be updated from different parts of the code,
we'd have to create another callback (for instance the SPI device-specific
parameters don't need to be calculated each time the SPI transfer is
submitted, so it's better to pre-calculate the CR0 data at the SPI-device
setup stage).

So keeping all the above in mind let's discard the update_cr0() callbacks,
define a generic and static dw_spi_update_cr0() method and create the
DW_SPI_CAP_DWC_SSI capability, which when enabled would activate the
alternative CR0 register layout.

While at it add the comments to the code path of the normal DW APB SSI
controller setup to make the dw_spi_update_cr0() method looking coherent.

      Merge series "spi: dw: Add full Baikal-T1 SPI Controllers support" from Serge... · 9d362152
      Mark Brown authored 
      Merge series "spi: dw: Add full Baikal-T1 SPI Controllers support" from Serge Semin <Sergey.Semin@baikalelectronics.ru>:

Originally I intended to merge a dedicated Baikal-T1 System Boot SPI
Controller driver into the kernel and leave the DW APB SSI driver
untouched. But after a long discussion (see the link at the bottom of the
letter) Mark and Andy persuaded me to integrate what we developed there
into the DW APB SSI core driver to be useful for another controllers,
which may have got the same peculiarities/problems as ours:
- No IRQ.
- No DMA.
- No GPIO CS, so a native CS is utilized.
- small Tx/Rx FIFO depth.
- Automatic CS assertion/de-assertion.
- Slow system bus.
All of them have been fixed in the framework of this patchset in some
extent at least for the SPI memory operations. As I expected it wasn't
that easy and the integration took that many patches as you can see from
the subject. Though some of them are mere cleanups or weakly related with
the subject fixes, but we just couldn't leave the code as is at some
places since we were working with the DW APB SSI driver anyway. Here is
what we did to fix the original DW APB SSI driver, to make it less messy.

First two patches are just cleanups to simplify the DW APB SSI device
initialization a bit. We suggest to discard the IRQ threshold macro as
unused and use a ternary operator to initialize the set_cs callback
instead of assigning-and-updating it.

Then we've discovered that the n_bytes field of the driver private data is
used by the DW APB SSI IRQ handler, which requires it to be initialized
before the SMP memory barrier and to be visible from another CPUs. Speaking
about the SMP memory barrier. Having one right after the shared resources
initialization is enough and there is no point in using the spin-lock to
protect the Tx/Rx buffer pointers. The protection functionality is
redundant there by the driver design. (Though I have a doubt whether the
SMP memory barrier is also required there because the normal IO-methods
like readl/writel implies a full memory barrier. So any memory operations
performed before them are supposed to be seen by devices and another CPUs.
See the patch log for details of my concern.)

Thirdly we've found out that there is some confusion in the IRQs
masking/unmasking/clearing in the SPI-transfer procedure. Multiple interrupts
are unmasked on the SPI-transfer initialization, but just TXEI is only
masked back on completion. Similarly IRQ status isn't cleared on the
controller reset, which actually makes the reset being not full and errors
prone in the controller probe procedure.

Another very important optimization is using the IO-relaxed accessors in
the dw_read_io_reg()/dw_write_io_reg() methods. Since the Tx/Rx FIFO data
registers are the most frequently accessible controller resource, using
relaxed accessors there will significantly improve the data read/write
performance. At least on Baikal-T1 SoC such modification opens up a way to
have the DW APB SSI controller working with higher SPI bus speeds, than
without it.

Fifthly we've made an effort to cleanup the code using the SPI-device
private data - chip_data. We suggest to remove the chip type from there
since it isn't used and isn't implemented right anyway. Then instead of
having a bus speed, clock divider, transfer mode preserved there, and
recalculating the CR0 fields of the SPI-device-specific phase, polarity
and frame format each time the SPI transfer is requested, we can save it
in the chip_data instance. By doing so we'll make that structure finally
used as it was supposed to by design (see the spi-fsl-dspi.c, spi-pl022.c,
spi-pxa2xx.c drivers for examples).

Sixthly instead of having the SPI-transfer specific CR0-update callback,
we suggest to implement the DW APB SSI controller capabilities approach.
By doing so we can now inject the vendor-specific peculiarities in
different parts of the DW APB SSI core driver (which is required to
implement both SPI-transfers and the SPI memory operations). This will
also make the code less confusing like defining a callback in the core
driver, setting it up in the glue layer, then calling it from the core
driver again. Seeing the small capabilities implementation embedded
in-situ is more readable than tracking the callbacks assignments. This
will concern the CS-override, Keembay master setup, DW SSI-specific CR0
registers layout capabilities.

Seventhly since there are going to be two types of the transfers
implemented in the DW APB SSI core driver, we need a common method to set
the controller configuration like, Tx/Rx-mode, bus speed, data frame size
and number of data frames to read in case of the memory operations. So we
just detached the corresponding code from the SPI-transfer-one method and
made it to be a part of the new dw_spi_update_config() function, which is
former update_cr0(). Note that the new method will be also useful for the
glue drivers, which due to the hardware design need to create their own
memory operations (for instance, for the dirmap-operations provided in the
Baikal-T System Boot SPI controller driver).

Eighthly it is the data IO procedure and IRQ-based SPI-transfer
implementation refactoring. The former one will look much simpler if the
buffers initial pointers and the buffers length data utilized instead of
the Tx/Rx buffers start and end pointers. The later one currently lacks of
valid execution at the final stage of the SPI-transfer. So if there is no
data left to send, but there is still data which needs to be received, the
Tx FIFO Empty IRQ will constantly happen until all of the requested
inbound data is received. So we suggest to fix that by taking the Rx FIFO
Empty IRQ into account.

Ninthly it's potentially errors prone to enable the DW APB SSI interrupts
before enabling the chip. It specifically concerns a case if for some
reason the DW APB SSI IRQs handler is executed before the controller is
enabled. That will cause a part of the outbound data loss. So we suggest
to reverse the order.

Tenthly in order to be able to pre-initialize the Tx FIFO with data and
only the start the SPI memory operations we need to have any CS
de-activated. We'll fulfil that requirement by explicitly clearing the CS
on the SPI transfer completion and at the explicit controller reset.

Then seeing all the currently available and potentially being created
types of the SPI transfers need to perform the DW APB SSI controller
status register check and the errors handler procedure, we've created a
common method for all of them.

Eleventhly if before we've mostly had a series of fixups, cleanups and
refactorings, here we've finally come to the new functionality
implementation. It concerns the poll-based transfer (as Baikal-T1 System
Boot SPI controller lacks a dedicated IRQ lane connected) and the SPI
memory operations implementation. If the former feature is pretty much
straightforward (see the patch log for details), the later one is a bit
tricky. It's based on the EEPROM-read (write-then-read) and the Tx-only
modes of the DW APB SSI controller, which as performing the automatic data
read and write let's us to implement the faster IO procedure than using
the Tx-Rx-mode-based approach. Having the memory-operations implemented
that way is the best thing we can currently do to provide the errors-less
SPI transfers to SPI devices with native CS attached.

Note the approach utilized here to develop the SPI memory operations can
be also used to create the "automatic CS toggle problem"-free(ish) SPI
transfers (combine SPI-message transfers into two buffers, disable
interrupts, push-pull the combined data). But we don't provide a solution
in the framework of this patchset. It is a matter of a dedicated one,
which we currently don't intend to spend our time on.

Finally at the closure of the this patchset you'll find patches, which
provide the Baikal-T1-specific DW APB SSI controllers support. The SoC has
got three SPI controllers. Two of them are pretty much normal DW APB SSI
interfaces: with IRQ, DMA, FIFOs of 64 words depth, 4x CSs. But the third
one as being a part of the Baikal-T1 System Boot Controller has got a very
limited resources: no IRQ, no DMA, only a single native chip-select and
Tx/Rx FIFOs with just 8 words depth available. In order to provide a
transparent initial boot code execution the System Boot SPI Controller is
also utilized by an vendor-specific IP-block, which exposes an SPI flash
memory direct mapping interface. Please see the corresponding patch for
details.

      spi: spi-dw: Remove extraneous locking · 0b6bfad4
      Serge Semin authored 
      There is no point in having the commit 19b61392 ("spi: spi-dw: Add
lock protect dw_spi rx/tx to prevent concurrent calls") applied. The
commit author made an assumption that the problem with the rx data
mismatch was due to the lack of the data protection. While most likely it
was caused by the lack of the memory barrier. So having the
commit bfda0445 ("spi: dw: use "smp_mb()" to avoid sending spi data
error") applied would be enough to fix the problem.

Indeed the spin unlock operation makes sure each memory operation issued
before the release will be completed before it's completed. In other words
it works as an implicit one way memory barrier. So having both smp_mb()
and the spin_unlock_irqrestore() here is just redundant. One of them would
be enough. It's better to leave the smp_mb() since the Tx/Rx buffers
consistency is provided by the data transfer algorithm implementation:
first we initialize the buffers pointers, then make sure the assignments
are visible by the other CPUs by calling the smp_mb(), only after that
enable the interrupt, which handler uses the buffers.

      In a further commit we'll have to get rid of the update_cr0() callback and

first move the master mode selection into the internal corresponding
update_cr0 method, which would be activated by means of the dedicated
DW_SPI_CAP_KEEMBAY_MST capability setup.

Note this will be also useful if the driver will be ever altered to

      Keeping SPI peripheral devices type is pointless since first it hasn't
been functionally utilized by any of the client drivers/code and second it
won't work for Microwire type at the very least. Moreover there is no
point in setting up the type by means of the chip-data in the modern
kernel. The peripheral devices with specific interface type need to be
detected in order to activate the corresponding frame format. It most
likely will require some peripheral device specific DT property or
whatever to find out the interface protocol. So let's remove the serial
interface type fields from the DW APB SSI controller and the SPI
peripheral device private data.

Note we'll preserve the explicit SSI_MOTO_SPI interface type setting up to
signify the only currently supported interface protocol.

      spi: dw: Disable all IRQs when controller is unused · a1d5aa6f
      Serge Semin authored 
      It's a good practice to disable all IRQs if a device is fully unused. In
our case it is supposed to be done before requesting the IRQ and after the
last byte of an SPI transfer is received. In the former case it's required
to prevent the IRQ handler invocation before the driver data is fully
initialized (which may happen if the IRQs status has been left uncleared
before the device is probed). So we just moved the spi_hw_init() method
invocation to the earlier stage before requesting the IRQ. In the later
case there is just no point in having any of the IRQs enabled between SPI
transfers and when there is no SPI message currently being processed.

      spi: dw-dma: Add one-by-one SG list entries transfer · ad4fe126
      Serge Semin authored 
      In case if at least one of the requested DMA engine channels doesn't
support the hardware accelerated SG list entries traverse, the DMA driver
will most likely work that around by performing the IRQ-based SG list
entries resubmission. That might and will cause a problem if the DMA Tx
channel is recharged and re-executed before the Rx DMA channel. Due to
non-deterministic IRQ-handler execution latency the DMA Tx channel will
start pushing data to the SPI bus before the Rx DMA channel is even
reinitialized with the next inbound SG list entry. By doing so the DMA
Tx channel will implicitly start filling the DW APB SSI Rx FIFO up, which
while the DMA Rx channel being recharged and re-executed will eventually
be overflown.

In order to solve the problem we have to feed the DMA engine with SG
list entries one-by-one. It shall keep the DW APB SSI Tx and Rx FIFOs
synchronized and prevent the Rx FIFO overflow. Since in general the SPI
tx_sg and rx_sg lists may have different number of entries of different
lengths (though total length should match) we virtually split the
SG-lists to the set of DMA transfers, which length is a minimum of the
ordered SG-entries lengths.

The solution described above is only executed if a full-duplex SPI
transfer is requested and the DMA engine hasn't provided channels with
hardware accelerated SG list traverse capability to handle both SG
lists at once.

      spi: dw-dma: Pass exact data to the DMA submit and wait methods · 917ce29e
      Serge Semin authored 
      In order to use the DMA submission and waiting methods in both generic
DMA-based SPI transfer and one-by-one DMA SG entries transmission
functions, we need to modify the dw_spi_dma_wait() and
dw_spi_dma_submit_tx()/dw_spi_dma_submit_rx() prototypes. So instead of
getting the SPI transfer object as the second argument they must accept
the exact data structure instances they imply to use. Those are the
current transfer length and the SPI bus frequency in case of
dw_spi_dma_wait(), and SG list together with number of list entries in
case of the DMA Tx/Rx submission methods.

      spi: dw-dma: Move DMAC register cleanup to DMA transfer method · 945b5b60
      Serge Semin authored 
      DW APB SSI DMA driver doesn't use the native SPI core wait API since
commit bdbdf0f0 ("spi: dw: Locally wait for the DMA transfers
completion"). Due to that the driver can now clear the DMAC register
in a single place synchronously with the DMA transactions completion
or failure. After that all the possible code paths are still covered:
1) DMA completion callbacks are executed in case if the corresponding DMA
transactions are finished. When they are, one of them will eventually wake
the SPI messages pump kernel thread and dw_spi_dma_transfer_all() method
will clean the DMAC register as implied by this patch.
2) dma_stop is called when the SPI core detects an error either returned
from the transfer_one() callback or set in the SPI message status field.
Both types of errors will be noticed by the dw_spi_dma_transfer_all()
method.
3) dma_exit is called when either SPI controller driver or the
corresponding device is removed. In any case the SPI core will first
flush the SPI messages pump kernel thread, so any pending or in-fly
SPI transfers will be finished before that.

Due to all of that let's simplify the DW APB SSI DMA driver a bit and
move the DMAC register cleanup to a single place in the
dw_spi_dma_transfer_all() method.

      spi: dw-dma: Detach DMA transfer into a dedicated method · b86fed12
      Serge Semin authored 
      In order to add an alternative method of DMA-based SPI transfer first we
need to detach the currently available one from the common code. Here we
move the normal DMA-based SPI transfer execution functionality into a
dedicated method. It will be utilized if either the DMA engine supports
an unlimited number SG entries or Tx-only SPI transfer is requested. But
currently just use it for any SPI transfer.
