Sorry, I fail to see what exactly this is fixing.

If SPI_MASTER_MUST_TX is set, all hardware SPI transfers are either
   a) transmit-only.
   b) bidirectional (transmit buffer may be a dummy, provided by the SPI core).

For case a, only the TX FIFO size matters.
   - The original code ignored the RX FIFO size (rx_buf == NULL),
   - After your change, it always uses the minimum of the TX and RX FIFO sizes
     (granted, the RX FIFO size is larger, so this doesn't make a difference on
     current hardware).

Yes.


For case b, both FIFO sizes matter, and the original code handled that fine
(tx_buf != NULL, rx_buf != NULL).

What am I missing?
Are you using a backport with broken SPI_MASTER_MUST_TX handling in the SPI
core?

When tx_buf != NULL and rx_buf != NULL, current code uses FIFO size of
rx_buffer.
Since TX FIFO size is smaller than RX FIFO  size, corrent code set the
wrong value to SITMDR2 register.

if tx_buf != NULL and rx_buf != NULL, current code does:

     words = min_t(int, words, p->tx_fifo_size);
     words = min_t(int, words, p->rx_fifo_size);

Hence words will be the minimum of the original value of words, tx_fifo_size,
and rx_fifo_size. What's wrong about that?


I see. I understood about this.
Sorry, my bad.

Mark, if you do not apply this patch to your repository, could you ignore this?

Therefore, this patch selects a smaller FIFO size, adds the function to set.

Does this has become a description?


I've just verified that with today's tree (renesas-drivers-2015-03-12-v4.0-rc3),
SPI_MASTER_MUST_TX works fine, and a dummy tx_buf is passed when needed.

I think correctly work on hardware. However, driver has been set to
the correct register value?

I printed the value of words, which is passed to sh_msiof_spi_set_mode_regs().

Gr{oetje,eeting}s,

                         Geert


Best regards,
  Nobuhiro
