+STMicroelectronics STM32 SPI Controller
+
+The STM32 SPI controller is used to communicate with external devices using
+the Serial Peripheral Interface. It supports full-duplex, half-duplex and
+simplex synchronous serial communication with external devices. It supports
+from 4 to 32-bit data size. Although it can be configured as master or slave,
+only master is supported by the driver.
+
+Required properties:
+- compatible: Must be "st,stm32-spi".

Hi Amelie,

What about the gen1 SPI devices like the F4 ?

It should have been better to use SoC specific compatible, or specify the SPI HW gen like gen1 or gen2.

Hi Neil,

The gen1 SPI controller embedded on F4/F7 is different from gen2 embedded on H7 and just to illustrate this, there are 5 main registers (16-bit) on gen1 versus 10 main registers on gen2 (32-bit)! Their operating modes are different, fifo management and so on... Moreover, I know that the community is working on an SPI driver for F4.

I agree with you on the fact that it would be better to use a SoC specific compatible: I will send a v2 with "st,stm32h7-spi". This way, this will be aligned with what have been done for the I2S part of this controller: https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9737799/

By the way, I also noticed that my optional property "st,spi-midi-ns" doesn't fit with the example "st,spi-midi". I will fix that in the v2 and keep "st,spi-midi-ns".

Regards,
Amelie

+- reg: Offset and length of the device's register set.
+- interrupts: Must contain the interrupt id.
+- clocks: Must contain an entry for spiclk (which feeds the internal clock
+	  generator).
+- #address-cells:  Number of cells required to define a chip select address.
+- #size-cells: Should be zero.
+
+Optional properties:
+- resets: Must contain the phandle to the reset controller.
+- A pinctrl state named "default" may be defined to set pins in mode of
+  operation for SPI transfer.
+- dmas: DMA specifiers for tx and rx dma. DMA fifo mode must be used. See the
+  STM32 DMA bindings, Documentation/devicetree/bindings/dma/stm32-dma.txt.
+- dma-names: DMA request names should include "tx" and "rx" if present.
+- cs-gpios: list of GPIO chip selects. See the SPI bus bindings,
+  Documentation/devicetree/bindings/spi/spi-bus.txt
+
+
+Child nodes represent devices on the SPI bus
+  See ../spi/spi-bus.txt
+
+Optional properties:
+- st,spi-midi-ns: (Master Inter-Data Idleness) minimum time delay in
+		  nanoseconds inserted between two consecutive data frames.
+
+
+Example:
+	spi2: spi@40003800 {
+		#address-cells = <1>;
+		#size-cells = <0>;
+		compatible = "st,stm32-spi";
+		reg = <0x40003800 0x400>;
+		interrupts = <36>;
+		clocks = <&rcc SPI2_CK>;
+		resets = <&rcc 1166>;
+		dmas = <&dmamux1 0 39 0x400 0x01>,
+		       <&dmamux1 1 40 0x400 0x01>;
+		dma-names = "rx", "tx";
+		pinctrl-0 = <&spi2_pins_b>;
+		pinctrl-names = "default";
+		status = "okay";
+		cs-gpios = <&gpioa 11 0>;
+
+		spidev@0 {
+			compatible = "spidev";
+			reg = <0>;
+			spi-max-frequency = <4000000>;
+			st,spi-midi = <4000>;
+		};
