I think that's why we can see .fifo_lvl_mask[] with different values
for different IP instances. For example, ExynosAutoV9 has this (in
upstream driver, yes):
.fifo_lvl_mask = { 0x1ff, 0x1ff, 0x7f, 0x7f, 0x7f, 0x7f, 0x1ff,
0x7f, 0x7f, 0x7f, 0x7f, 0x7f},
And I'm pretty sure the comment (in struct s3c64xx_spi_port_config)
for .fifo_lvl_mask field is not correct anymore:
* @fifo_lvl_mask: Bit-mask for {TX|RX}_FIFO_LVL bits in
SPI_STATUS register.
Maybe it used to indicate the bit number in SPI_STATUS register for
{TX|RX}_FIFO_LVL fields, but not anymore. Nowadays it looks like
.fifo_lvl_mask just specifies FIFO depth for each IP instance.
