      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.

      spi: dw: Add KeemBay Master capability · ffb7ca54
      Serge Semin authored 
      In a further commit we'll have to get rid of the update_cr0() callback and
define a DW SSI capability instead. Since Keem Bay master/slave
functionality is controller by the CTRL0 register bitfield, we need to
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
support the DW SPI slave interface.

      spi: dw: Convert CS-override to DW SPI capabilities · cc760f31
      Serge Semin authored 
      There are several vendor-specific versions of the DW SPI controllers,
each of which may have some peculiarities with respect to the original
IP-core. Seeing it has already caused adding flags and a callback into the
DW SPI private data, let's introduce a generic capabilities interface to
tune the generic DW SPI controller driver up in accordance with the
particular controller specifics. It's done by converting a simple
Alpine-specific CS-override capability into the DW SPI controller
capability activated by setting the DW_SPI_CAP_CS_OVERRIDE flag.

      spi: dw: Discard DW SSI chip type storages · 675e7c9d
      Serge Semin authored 
      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: Use relaxed IO-methods to access FIFOs · 7e31cea7
      Serge Semin authored 
      In accordance with [1] the relaxed methods are guaranteed to be ordered
with respect to other accesses from the same CPU thread to the same
peripheral.  This is what we need during the data read/write from/to the
controller FIFOs being executed within a single IRQ handler or a kernel
task.

Such optimization shall significantly speed the data reader and writer up.
For instance, the relaxed IO-accessors utilization on Baikal-T1 lets the
driver to support the SPI memory operations with bus frequency three-fold
faster than if normal IO-accessors would be used.
