My overall impression reading this is that there could be a lot more
reliance on both generic functionality and as Andy suggested the spi-dw
driver - the headers seem easy for example. As far as I can tell the
main things this is adding compared to spi-dw are the dirmap code and
the IRQ disabling around the PIO on the FIFO both of which seem like
relatively small additions which it should be possible to accomodate
within spi-dw. For example the driver could have multiple transfer
functions and pick a different one with the interrupt disabling when
running on this hardware.

Please make the entire comment a C++ one so things look a bit cleaner
and more intentional.

If you have a GPIO chip select you should just let the core manage it
through cs_gpiod rather than open coding.

This is obviously not great, especially for larger transfers. It would
be a lot easier to review and manage this if the IRQ disabling was done
around the transfers in a single function rather than separately, that
way everything is next to each other and it's clearer that we're doing
this for the minimum time and didn't miss anything. Right now it's hard
to tell if everything is joined up.

This has exactly one caller, perhaps it could just be inlined there? I
think this applies to some of the other internal functions.

It's not obvious from the name that this function will busy wait rather
than just reading some status registers.

We could use a timeout or something here in case something goes wrong,
as things stand we could end up spinning for ever.
It's also not clear to me why we only check for over/underrun before we
do the busy wait, especially a RX overrun could happen and cause us to
loose data while things are finishing up.

It's more typical to write zeros when there's no data.

It's not clear to me that this hardware actually supports spi_mem in

The actual transfers here are done using the same PIO functions as
everything else as far as I can see which makes me wonder what this
spi_mem implementation is adding over the standard SPI flash support.
I've not checked but if we need this to get the dirmap support to kick
in then we should fix this by making the core not have that requirement.

This feels like something that is likely to be suitable for a generic
implementation? Indeed I'd kind of expect that the architecture
memcpy_to/fromio() would try to copy aligned blocks since it's usually
going to perform better (which I assume is why this function is doing
it).

It's a little unclear what we're actually doing though - we read a data
address from the hardware?

This seems a bit much - we can validate that the message doesn't contain
any delays (which is going to be the overwhelming majority of devices)
or multiple transfers and reject just those transfers we can't support.
Multiple transfers are an issue with this hardware but you could
implement support in the core for coalescing them into single transfers,
this isn't the only hardware with automatic chip select handling that
can't cope with scatter/gather so it would be a useful thing to have.

It's not clear to me what the benefit is in this indirection through
req?

This will have issues with transfers with an odd number of bytes won't
it?

As with some of the other functions this has exactly one caller and
barely any content in it, just inline it.

Do you really need to separately save these (and is there a context
where you have the driver data but not the device anyway)?

Perhaps consider regmap_mmio?

Holding a mutex over the entire time that a file is open is not good,
it's also not clear to me what this mutex is supposed to be protecting
given that it's only referenced in these debugfs functions.

Whatever this write is doing we never seem to undo it?
