The patch spi: spi-fsl-dspi: Implement .max_message_size method for EOQ mode has been applied to the spi tree at https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/broonie/spi.git All being well this means that it will be integrated into the linux-next tree (usually sometime in the next 24 hours) and sent to Linus during the next merge window (or sooner if it is a bug fix), however if problems are discovered then the patch may be dropped or reverted. You may get further e-mails resulting from automated or manual testing and review of the tree, please engage with people reporting problems and send followup patches addressing any issues that are reported if needed. If any updates are required or you are submitting further changes they should be sent as incremental updates against current git, existing patches will not be replaced. Please add any relevant lists and maintainers to the CCs when replying to this mail. Thanks, Mark >From a3185c38dc6cd664b2b576eb9d3e5d2f49101a10 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vladimir Oltean <vladimir.oltean@xxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 5 Mar 2020 00:00:38 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] spi: spi-fsl-dspi: Implement .max_message_size method for EOQ mode When it gets set, End Of Queue Flag halts the DSPI controller and forces the chip select signal to deassert. This operating mode is not ideal, but it is used for the DSPI instantiations where there is no other notification from the controller that the data in the FIFO has finished transmission. So in practice, it means that transmitting buffers larger than the FIFO size will yield unpredictable results. The only controller that operates in EOQ mode is MCF5441X (Coldfire). I would say that the way EOQ is used (and documented in the reference manual, too) on this chip is incorrect, and I would personally migrate it to TCFQ, but that's notably worse in terms of performance (it can only use 1 entry of the 16-deep FIFO) and if this limitation didn't bother any Coldfire DSPI user so far, it's likely that we just need to throw an error for larger buffers to make sure that callers are aware their transfers are getting truncated/split.
