Hi all, This patch set adds a new property "spi-word-wait-ns" to the spi-bus binding that allows SPI slave devices to set a wait time between the transmission of words. Modifies the spi_device struct and slave device probing to read and store the new property. Also modifies the sun4i SPI master driver to make use of the new property. This specific SPI controller needs 3 clock cycles to set up the delay, which makes the minimum non-zero wait time on this hardware 4 clock cycles. Changes from v1: * renamed the property for more clarity * wait time is set in nanoseconds instead of number of clock cycles * transparently handle the 3 setup clock cycles Changes from v2: * fixed typo in comment * moved parameter to spi-bus binding, dropping the vendor prefix * changed commit summary and description to reflect the changes Changes from v3: * remove reference to "hardware" in comments and description, as the wait time could also be implemented in software * read and set property value in spi core Changes from v4: * log with dev_dbg instead of dev_info * split patch into two separate ones for SPI-core and sun4i parts Marcus Weseloh (2): spi: dts: Add new device property to specifcy a wait time between word transmissions spi: sun4i: Add support for wait time between word transmissions Documentation/devicetree/bindings/spi/spi-bus.txt | 2 ++ drivers/spi/spi-sun4i.c | 22 ++++++++++++++++++++++ drivers/spi/spi.c | 2 ++ include/linux/spi/spi.h | 2 ++ 4 files changed, 28 insertions(+) -- 1.9.1 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe devicetree" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
