Hmm, yep it does not. I'll fix that.
> In RX direction a speed range helps changing the baudrate on the fly.
Clients just tell which is the TX max bit rate allowed.
In the case of TX the HW driver is allowed to change the speed from the maximum to the HW minimum.
In the case of RX the HW driver has to be able to handle that TX speed from the transmitter.

This is just tied to the HW controller, it is internal data that can be
passed to HW driver through other ways.
Clients can only set HW configuration values that affects directly their
protocol behavior.

Again tied to the HW driver.

Do you have a HW implementing that kind of feature ? And also does
any protocol make direct use of that feature, meaning it changes the
behavior of the protocol ?
If the answers are yes, I am willing to add support for that, otherwise
I will wait until someone really needs it. Please note the current
ARB_PRIO value means that channel 0 has the highest priority and
MAX_CHANNEL the lowest.

It is a matter of taste, and with the tx flow change the memory
footprint will be the same.

Hmm, I will keep it as it is. No need to have currently custom probe()/
remove(). They will just be a wrap up. Having the device_driver wrap
like this forces the clients to register using
hsi_register_client_driver instead of allowing them to use also the
device_register() directly which will be wrong as they will not be tied
to the HSI bus.

And that's how it works. The omap_ssi driver works exactly like that.
Maybe some extra documentation explaining this is needed.

Yes but yet again the client wants to send/receive a frame. It is just
that turns to be a special one that only the HW can generate.
So I prefer to keep that on the HSI sending/receiving API.

I expect hsi_setup to be called in process context, therefore being able
to block. So in that case, the driver can wait for the transaction to
succeed before returning. Maybe some extra comments, about which
interfaces must be called in process context, are needed.

Hmm, the whole idea here is that clients are not bother about DMAs. They
just sent a request and it is the HW driver which decides what to use
for the transfer. In the case of not having enough DMA channels
available, the HW driver can just fall back to PIO transfers (omap_ssi
does that) or just hold the request in its internal queue/s until DMA
resources are available.

Hmmm no. It is needed. The device is not tied to the platform bus is
tied to the HSI bus. In the case of USB , it is expected that
registration of the HSI controller device is done in the probe()
function of the usb_driver. This works pretty much the same also for the
platform bus (see omap_ssi) and others.

Well, as I said I will have a look to this, but reset can also be
understood that you reset the whole port (=> reseting also the
configuration to the default HW values) and does not what this function
does. It is just destroying all pending request and flush all the
internal buffers, leaving the port in a clean state ready to
send/receive more frames with the same configuration.
