2006-05-16[PATCH] SPI: busnum == 0 needs to workDavid Brownell
We need to be able to have a "SPI bus 0" matching chip numbering; but that number was wrongly used to flag dynamic allocation of a bus number. This patch resolves that issue; now negative numbers trigger dynamic alloc. It also updates the how-to-write-a-controller-driver overview to mention this stuff.

2006-05-16[PATCH] SPI: add PXA2xx SSP SPI DriverStephen Street
This driver turns a PXA2xx synchronous serial port (SSP) into a SPI master controller (see Documentation/spi/spi_summary). The driver has the following features: - Support for any PXA2xx SSP - SSP PIO and SSP DMA data transfers. - External and Internal (SSPFRM) chip selects. - Per slave device (chip) configuration. - Full suspend, freeze, resume support.

2006-02-06[PATCH] SPI: spi_butterfly, restore lost deltasDavid Brownell
This resolves some minor version skew glitches that accumulated for the AVR Butterfly adapter driver, which caused among other things the existence of a duplicate Kconfig entry. Most of it boils down to comment updates, but in one case it removes some now-superfluous code that would be better if not copied into other controller-level drivers.

2006-01-13[PATCH] SPI: add spi_butterfly driverDavid Brownell
This adds a bitbanging parport based adaptor cable for AVR Butterfly, giving SPI links to its DataFlash chip and (eventually) firmware running in the card. Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2006-01-13[PATCH] spi: misc fixesDavid Brownell
This collects some small SPI patches that seem to be missing from the MM tree: - spi_butterfly kbuild hooks got dropped somehow; this restores them - quick fix for a (theoretical?) m25p80_write() oops noted by Andrew - quick fix for a potential config-specific oops for mtd_dataflash() - minor doc tweaks Signed-off-by: David Brownell <dbrownell@users.sourceforge.net> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2006-01-13[PATCH] SPI core tweaks, bugfixDavid Brownell
This includes various updates to the SPI core: - Fixes a driver model refcount bug in spi_unregister_master() paths. - The spi_master structures now have wrappers which help keep drivers from needing class-level get/put for device data or for refcounts. - Check for a few setup errors that would cause oopsing later. - Docs say more about memory management. Highlights the use of DMA-safe i/o buffers, and zero-initializing spi_message and such metadata. - Provide a simple alloc/free for spi_message and its spi_transfer; this is only one of the possible memory management policies. Nothing to break code that already works.

2006-01-13[PATCH] spi: add spi_driver to SPI frameworkDavid Brownell
This is a refresh of the "Simple SPI Framework" found in 2.6.15-rc3-mm1 which makes the following changes: * There's now a "struct spi_driver". This increase the footprint of the core a bit, since it now includes code to do what the driver core was previously handling directly. Documentation and comments were updated to match. * spi_alloc_master() now does class_device_initialize(), so it can at least be refcounted before spi_register_master(). To match, spi_register_master() switched over to class_device_add(). * States explicitly that after transfer errors, spi_devices will be deselected. We want fault recovery procedures to work the same for all controller drivers. * Minor tweaks: controller_data no longer points to readonly data; prevent some potential cast-from-null bugs with container_of calls; clarifies some existing kerneldoc, And a few small cleanups.

2006-01-13[PATCH] spi: simple SPI frameworkDavid Brownell
This is the core of a small SPI framework, implementing the model of a queue of messages which complete asynchronously (with thin synchronous wrappers on top). - It's still less than 2KB of ".text" (ARM). If there's got to be a mid-layer for something so simple, that's the right size budget. :) - The guts use board-specific SPI device tables to build the driver model tree. (Hardware probing is rarely an option.) - This version of Kconfig includes no drivers. At this writing there are two known master controller drivers (PXA/SSP, OMAP MicroWire) and three protocol drivers (CS8415a, ADS7846, DataFlash) with LKML mentions of other drivers in development. - No userspace API. There are several implementations to compare. Implement them like any other driver, and bind them with sysfs. The changes from last version posted to LKML (on 11-Nov-2005) are minor, and include: - One bugfix (removes a FIXME), with the visible effect of making device names be "spiB.C" where B is the bus number and C is the chipselect. - The "caller provides DMA mappings" mechanism now has kerneldoc, for DMA drivers that want to be fancy. - Hey, the framework init can be subsys_init. Even though board init logic fires earlier, at arch_init ... since the framework init is for driver support, and the board init support uses static init. - Various additional spec/doc clarifications based on discussions with other folk. It adds a brief "thank you" at the end, for folk who've helped nudge this framework into existence. As I've said before, I think that "protocol tweaking" is the main support that this driver framework will need to evolve.
