[PATCH v2 00/12] Port the FSL QSPI driver to the SPI framework

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Now that the SPI memory interface was introduced by Boris [1], it is
possible to move drivers from mtd/spi-nor to the SPI framework in order
to use them for different type of SPI memory chips.

Patch 1 adds a function spi_mem_get_name() to the SPI memory interface
and a ->name field to struct spi_mem.
Patch 2 uses it in m25p80.c to make it possible for SPI controller
drivers to provide a custom naming scheme for the flash chip.
This is needed to avoid breaking compatibility of mtdparts when switching
from the old to the new driver.

Patch 3 adds a driver for the Freescale QSPI controller to the SPI
framework. Together with m25p80.c it can be used to interface SPI
NOR flashes just as the old driver did. For this to work properly a few
minor changes to the devicetrees are necessary (see patches 5 to 7).

Patch 8 changes the defconfigs to use the new driver and patch 9 removes
the old driver.

Patch 10 and 11 remove 'fsl,qspi-has-second-chip' from the devicetrees.
Patch 12 adjusts the MAINTAINERS file.

The new driver was tested with i.MX6UL and a Micron SPI NOR @ 60MHz.
The read performance of the new driver is almost the same or even better
than the old driver, depending on the block size.
The write performance is a bit slower on average (~10-15%).

The new driver was also tested with the SPI NAND framework [2] and a
Winbond W25M02GV flash.

If someone has a board that uses both chips selects and/or both busses,
it would be really nice to have the driver be tested on such a setup.

Changes in v2:
==============
* Rebase on top of nand/next
* Add a name field to struct spi_mem and fill it while probing
* Add Yogesh Gaur and Suresh Gupta as authors
* Use GENMASK() for generating bitmasks
* Use callback functions for read/write of registers
* Attach the seq variable to the selected CS
* Avoid using conditional in read/write loop
* Avoid infinite loop and use a timeout instead
* Return error pointer when allocation in fsl_qspi_get_name() fails
* Remove redundant iounmap()
* Put suspend()/resume() in struct dev_pm_ops instead of struct platform_driver
* Split the moving and editing of the dt-bindings in two patches
