spi_cs_clk_delay -> Adds Delay from CS line toggle to Clock line
toggle
spi_inter_words_delay -> Adds inter-word delay for each transfer.
Could you please provide more information on accommodating these
parameters in SPI core structures like spi_device or spi_transfer? Why
because these are very
specific to Qualcomm SPI GENI controller.
I'm not sure what specific information you're looking for here - these
things are not obviously specific to your controller, I'm even aware of
other controllers which can do them.
If we define them in spi core framework structures, SPI Slave driver
will
program and expect it in the SPI transfers.
Sure.
Thanks Brown for clarifying it. As similar fields are not present in the
spi core framework i thought these are not generic across the
controllers.
I will add these fields in the SPI core framework structures.
Could you please clarify on below query.
+ mas->cur_speed_hz = spi_slv->max_speed_hz;
Why can't you use clk_get_rate() instead? Or call clk_set_rate() with
the rate you want the master clk to run at and then divide that down
from there?

That's good. The problem I see is that we have to specify the max
frequency in the controller/bus node, and also in the child/slave
node.
It should only need to be specified in the slave node, so making the
cur_speed_hz equal the max_speed_hz is problematic. The current speed
of
the master should be determined by calling clk_get_rate().
We don't require that the slaves all individually set a speed since it
gets a bit redundant, it should be enough to just use the default the
controller provides. A bigger problem with this is that the driver
will
never see a transfer which doesn't explicitly have a speed set as the
core will ensure something is set, open coding this logic in every
driver would obviously be tiresome.
clock_get_rate() will returns the rate which got set as per the clock
plan(which was the rounded up frequency) which can be less than or equal
to the requested frequency. For that reason using the cur_speed_hz to
store the requested frequency and skip clock configuration for the
consecutive transfers with same frequency.
