[U-Boot] [PATCH 0/3] kirkwood spi_claim/release_bus support

This series adds generic support for the spi_claim/release_bus functions for the kirkwood processors.
The implementation was already discussed in another thread following my first board specific submission of the patch.
The series adds two functions to the kirkwood mpp code to be able to temporarily save and then restore the mpp configuration.
Valentin Longchamp (3): kirkwood: add kirkwood_mpp_save/restore functions spi/kirkwood: support spi_claim/release_bus functions spi/kirkwood: add weak functions board_spi_claim/release_bus

These 2 functions can be used in pair if one needs to set a mpp configuration only for a given time and then switch back to the previous mpp config.

btw. sometimes "unsigned int" is used and sometimes "u32", could we agree on one? Eg. kirkwood_mpp_conf() is declared with unsigned int but defined with u32.

Hi Michael
Thanks for your comments.
Yes, we should use u32. And const will be a problem since mpp_ctrl will be array that will be dynamically modified.

But not within kirkwood_mpp_restore(), right? So an mpp_ctrl array would be implicitly casted from u32* to const u32*.
so we would have the following declarations: kirkwood_mpp_restore(const u32 *mpp_list) kirkwood_mpp_conf(const u32 *mpp_list) kirkwood_mpp_save(u32 *mpp_list)
where only the latter modifies mpp_list.

I wanted this patch to be independant of the SPI claim bus that _currently_ is the only one using it, but who knows in the future.
Anyway if this isn't global here, it will have to be global in the kirkwood_spi.c driver since it would have to be shared between spi_claim_bus and spi_release_bus.

Sorry, but this is exactly what you did in the kirkwood_mpp_conf function, you read and write all the registers every time you need to change only one pin, I took it from there for consistency:

And the way you did it is logical, if it was not done like that, a lot of reading/masking/rewriting would be needed, and this for every single pin, so it would be much less efficient than just reading all the regs and write them all back.

Yes, but the idea is that mpp_config function is called just once during initialization, we have exposed a simple array to do this configuration.
but save/restore will be called very frequently, may be for each SPI transaction. So there must be some optimisation. Secondly, we should only tweak only needed MPPs in run time, why all? It may lead to some other side effects (I don't know).

reg accesses as you would prefer it, but the best optimization potential is to avoid to call the 2 mpp_config and mpp_save functions.
I think, Kirkwood_mpp_config (already supported) finally writes the said MPP configurations to the SoC,
If we can have just Kirkwood_mpp_read() function that reads the MPP configuration for the said MPP will be enough from mpp.c prospective. This function should return the MPP config value in the same way it is being programmed by Kirkwood_mpp_config() function.
In SPI driver we will use these functions to handle the claim/release/backup the MPP attributes.

These two function nows ensure that the MPP is configured correctly for the SPI controller before any SPI access, and restore the initial configuration when the access is over.
Since the used pins for the SPI controller can differ (2 possibilities for each signal), the used pins are configured with CONFIG_SYS_KW_SPI_MPP.

In our case, this is still needed. As I had already explained you in the previous discussion, even with the generic approach, our hardware design requires one access to an additional signal (a GPIO) to configure an external HW multiplexer which is present to electrically remove the Nand Flash device from the signals used by the SPI bus and put it back when the accesses are over.
That's why my first implementation was only relying on these weak functions.

Okay, got it, on your board, apart from MPPs, you need additional control.
BTW: if NF_CEn could have been used this additional GPIO would not have needed. But any ways we cannot change your h/w now :-) So in that case it makes sense to expose these weak functions.
