Hi,
I am currently having issues with the SPI driver on the beaglebone
using the 3.7-rc8 kernel[1]. I have probed the SPI pins and I have
found that writing works however reading doesn't. When using DMA the
program seems to lock hard and no data is sent on the bus. I am
testing the bus using spidev and the spidev_test[2] application,
however I first came across spi issues with a custom spi driver which
stopped working when I transitioned from 3.2-psp to 3.7-rc8.
The current output I am seeing from the spidev_test program is just a
series of 0x00 data, which looks to me like no data is getting in at
all. The spidev_test program is not using DMA as the buffer size is
too low, so I forced the dma on when buffer size is > 1 and the
program hangs hard with the system still responding to other
commands.I have briged the pins 18 and 21 on the BeagleBone P9
header.
Has anyone seen issues like this, or if not if someone could please
test the latest 3.7-rc8 from [1] and let me know if it works for them
and the issue is at my end.
To get spidev working with devicetree I applied the patch from [3]
and changed the dtb as in the patch pasted below.

do you have any debugging output from that driver ? It would be cool to
see if DMA is at least being kicked properly for small transfers.
When I run the spidev program with dma for transfers > 1, the program
hangs and the only output in dmesg is:

The initial dmesg statup log is at [2].
It would also be nice to have a clear picture of what "custom spi
driver" you're talking about.
The custom SPI driver is for connecting and reading registers from an in
house FPGA design and can be found at [1]. It's fairly rudimentary and
also in the development stages, I'm very new to Linux kernel programming
so please take that into account :)
However it did work flawlessly with 3.2-psp.
