How is this going to work for full duplex transfers if we had to fill
the FIFO more than once?
See below, it's not.
+static int bcm_mspi_transfer_one(struct spi_master *master,
+ struct spi_device *spidev, struct spi_transfer *transfer)
+{
+ int err;
+
+ /* 8 bit transfers only are currently supported. */
+ if (transfer->bits_per_word > 8)
+ return -ENOTSUPP;
Tell the core what the device supports and it will check for you.
+
+ err = bcm_mspi_tx_data(master, spidev, transfer);
+ if (err)
+ return err;
+
+ err = bcm_mspi_rx_data(master, spidev, transfer);
+ if (err)
+ return err;
+
+ return 0;
+}
I would expect the recieve and transmit operations to be running in
parallel, not executed one after another, given the need to keep
manually filling and draining the FIFOs.
The driver was only written with NOR flash in mind as the slave. Since
this is really just half duplex, it works, though it won't with a real
full duplex slave. m25p80 never calls transfer_one with both tx and rx
buffers. The rx bytes that we don't care about from a tx request are
dropped.
We don't have any full duplex slaves so it's a hard to test. I could
possibly re-write this so that tx/rx is interleaved and that should be
good for full duplex or close enough that it won't have to be completely
overhauled should we ever connect a full duplex slave to it. Maybe I
should do that. This came from a pre-existing driver that had the same
limitation.
The purpose of this mspi interface is to connect to NOR flash. There
are other SPI interfaces on the devices used to connect to other SPI
devies. We don't have any need to support full duplex slaves on this
port (NOR have any hardware wired this way - pun realized after typing
this).
