Hi Andy, Apologies for the late response. Everything seemed straightforward, but as I was implementing your suggestions one thing came out. I just want to make sure my implementation isn't horribly off before the next patch set. Specifically this question (copied from below): > I'm wondering if you can use in both cases > spi_message_init_with_transfers(). > > +static int ocelot_spi_regmap_bus_read(void *context, const void *reg, size_t reg_size, > > + void *val, size_t val_size) > > +{ > > + struct spi_transfer tx, padding, rx; struct spi_transfer xfers[3] = {0}; struct spi_transfer *xfer_tok = xfers; > > + struct device *dev = context; > > + struct ocelot_ddata *ddata; > > + struct spi_device *spi; > > + struct spi_message msg; > > + > > + ddata = dev_get_drvdata(dev); > > + spi = to_spi_device(dev); > > + > > + spi_message_init(&msg); > > + > > + memset(&tx, 0, sizeof(tx)); > > + > > + tx.tx_buf = reg; > > + tx.len = reg_size; xfer_tok->tx_buf = reg; xfer_tok->len = reg_size; xfer_tok++; > > + > > + spi_message_add_tail(&tx, &msg); > > + > > + if (ddata->spi_padding_bytes) { > > + memset(&padding, 0, sizeof(padding)); > > + > > + padding.len = ddata->spi_padding_bytes; > > + padding.tx_buf = ddata->dummy_buf; > > + padding.dummy_data = 1; xfer_tok->len xfer_tok->tx_buf xfer_tok->dummy_data xfer_tok++; > > + > > + spi_message_add_tail(&padding, &msg); > > + } > > + > > + memset(&rx, 0, sizeof(rx)); > > + rx.rx_buf = val; > > + rx.len = val_size; xfer_tok->rx_buf xfer_tok->len xfer_tok++; > > + > > + spi_message_add_tail(&rx, &msg); spi_message_init_with_transfers(&msg, xfers, xfer_tok - xfers); > > I'm wondering if you can use in both cases > spi_message_init_with_transfers(). I could see that implementation getting the response of "what the heck were you thinking" or "that looks alright" and I honestly have no idea which pool it will fall into. > > > + return spi_sync(spi, &msg); > > +} >
