<content type='text'>
When reviewing a recent patch I noticed a potential trouble spot in the
registration of new SPI devices.  The SPI master driver is told to set
the device up before adding it to the driver model, so that it's always
properly set up when probe() is called.  (This is important, because in
the case of inverted chipselects, this device can make the bus misbehave
until it's properly deselected.  It's got to be set up even if no driver
binds to the device.)

The trouble spot is that it doesn't first verify that no other device
has been added using that chipselect.  If such a device has been added,
its configuration gets trashed.  (Fortunately this has not been a common
error!)

The fix here adds an explicit check, and a mutex to protect the relevant
critical region.

Then, since asm/hardware.h only exists to include asm/arch/hardware.h,
update everything to directly include asm/arch/hardware.h and remove

This adds an SPI driver for the SPI controller found in various Marvell
Orion ARM SoCs.  It currently supports only one slave, which must use SPI

<title>atmel_spi: fix hang due to missed interrupt</title>

<id>dc329442b9fd365bec95718013586c07ff600c34</id>
<content type='text'>
For some time my at91sam9260 board with JFFS2 on serial flash (m25p80)
would hang when accessing the serial flash and SPI bus.  Slowing the SPI
clock down to 9 MHz reduced the occurrence of the hang from "always"
during boot to a nuisance level that allowed other SW development to
continue.  Finally had to address this issue when an application stresses
the I/O to always cause a hang.

Hang seems to be caused by a missed SPI interrupt, so that the task ends
up waiting forever after calling spi_sync().  The fix has 2 parts.  First
is to halt the DMA engine before the "current" PDC registers are loaded.
This ensures that the "next" registers are loaded before the DMA operation
takes off.  The second part of the fix is a kludge that adds a
"completion" interrupt in case the ENDRX interrupt for the last segment of
the DMA chaining operation was missed.

The patch allows the SPI clock for the serial flash to be increased from 9
MHz to 15 MHz (or more?).  No hangs or SPI overruns were encountered.

Haavard: while this patch does indeed improve things, I still see overruns
and CRC errors on my NGW100 board when running the DataFlash at 10 MHz.
However, I think some improvement is better than nothing, so I'm passing
this on for inclusion in 2.6.27.

The original "Pass the bus number we expect the S3C24XX SPI driver to
attach to via the platform data." [1] patch was mis-sent, and missed two
important parts of the diff, which was to actually set the bus_num field
and add the relevant field to the platform data.

The previous commit 50f426b55d919dd017af35bb6a08753d1f262920 promised to
add a bus_num field, but failed to include the two hunks that added this
field to include/asm-arm/arch-s3c2410/spi.h and then pass it to the spi
core when creating the new master field in drivers/spi/spi_s3c24xx.c.

The block transfer routine in the mpc52xx psc spi driver misinterpret
the datasheet.  According to the processor datasheet the chipselect is
held as long as the EOF is not written.

Theoretically blocks of any sizes can be transferred in this way.  The
old routine however writes an EOF after every word, which has the size
of size_of_word.  This makes the transfer slow.

Also fixed some duplicate code.
