The commonly used mechanism of specifying the hardware or native
chip-select on an SPI device in devicetree (that is "cs-gpios = <0>")
does not result in the native chip-select being configured for use.
So external SPI devices that require use of the native chip-select
will not work.

You can successfully specify native chip-selects if using a platform
setup by specifying the cs-gpio as negative offset by 32. And that
works correctly. You cannot use the same method in devicetree.

The logic in the spi-imx.c driver during probe uses core spi function
of_spi_register_master() in spi.c to parse the "cs-gpios"
devicetree tag.
For valid GPIO values that will be recorded for use, all other
entries in
the cs_gpios list will be set to -ENOENT. So entries like "<0>"
will be
set to -ENOENT in the cs_gpios list.

When the SPI device registers are setup the code will use the GPIO
listed in the cs_gpios list for the desired chip-select. If the
cs_gpio
is less then 0 then it is intended to be for a native chip-select,
and
its cs_gpio value is added to 32 to get the chipselect number to use.
Problem is that with devicetree this can only ever be -ENOENT (which
is -2), and that alone results in an invalid chip-select number.
But also
doesn't allow selection of the native chip-select at all.

To fix, if the cs_gpio specified for this spi device is not a
valid GPIO then use the "chip_select" (that is the native chip-select
number) for hardware setup.

hm... do I see this correctly, all native chip_selects should
be registered before gpio based CS?

I don't follow. The "<0>" must be in the position in the list where
you want to use the native chip select. You can't arbitrarily change
the order.


For example like this?
cs-gpios = <0>, <&gpio1 1 0>, <&gpio1 2 0>;

Looks like we don't have any sanity checks for this kind of
configuration:
cs-gpios = <&gpio1 1 0>, <&gpio1 2 0>, <0>;

The chip_select is sanity checked in spi_add_device().


We may shift some wired numbers here:
reg |= spi->chip_select << MX21_CSPICTRL_CS_SHIFT;

I am not sure I see how that can be the case?

old and new version of iMX have different amount of native CS.
I can't find the code which is actually checking if we use right native
CS-index.
May be i'm blind :)

I don't think I entirely understand what you are saying. The code at the
top of spi_add_device() [drivers/spi/spi.c] looks like this:

        /* Chipselects are numbered 0..max; validate. */
        if (spi->chip_select >= ctlr->num_chipselect) {
                dev_err(dev, "cs%d >= max %d\n", spi->chip_select,
                        ctlr->num_chipselect);
                return -EINVAL;
        }

So it will range check the spi device (spi->chip_select) to be within
the range valid for this SPI controller. That is the very same
spi->chip_select that is used in spi-imx.c to set the register bits
when using a native chip select.

Correct. This is how ctlr->num_chipselect initialized:

        nb = of_gpio_named_count(np, "cs-gpios");
        ctlr->num_chipselect = max_t(int, nb, ctlr->num_chipselect);

it will take the count of cs-gpios.

The i.MX233 has 3 native CSs (SSn) and i.MX6D/Q has 4 CSs - controlled by 2 bits. Lets assume in both cases we wish to use 5CSs, some of them are GPIOs.

We will use same line for devicetree on i.MX233 and i.MX6D/Q:
cs-gpios = <&gpio1 0 0>, <&gpio1 1 0>, <&gpio1 2 0>, <0>, <&gpio1 4 0>;

If i see it correctly, spi.c and imx-spi.c will just take it. But in case of i.MX6 it should work and on i.MX233 it should silently fail.

And in this case:
cs-gpios = <&gpio1 0 0>, <&gpio1 1 0>, <&gpio1 2 0>, <&gpio1 3 0>, <0>;

we should produce a 3 bit value b100 which will be shifted left and "or"-ed with other ctrl bits.
