[PATCH 0/3] spi: Support SPI I/O protocol lines

Some of the SPI controllers have a special set of format registers that defines how the transfer initiated to the FIFO by means of I/O protocol lines.
Each mode of transfer from slave would be required to configure the I/O protocol lines so-that the master would identify how many number I/O protocol lines were used and alter the protocol bits on the controller.
To address this issue (on these kinds of SPI controllers) this series is trying to send the I/O protocol lines being used on particular transfers.
patch 1: Transfer the opcode alone
patch 2: Add SPI I/O protocol lines via spi->proto
patch 3: Use spi->proto on SiFive SPI controller
Any inputs? Jagan.

Some of the SPI controllers have a special set of format registers that defines how the transfer initiated to the FIFO by means of I/O protocol lines.
Each mode of transfer from slave would be required to configure the I/O protocol lines so-that the master would identify how many number I/O protocol lines were used and alter the protocol bits on the controller.
If a particular transfer combined opcode and address together, then it would be difficult for the master to identify how many I/O protocol lines are being used for opcode and address separately.
For example a transfer of SNOR_1_4_4 is not possible to identify the master that how many I/O protocol lines by spi-nor if that particular transfer initites the single xfer for both opcode and address.
To address this issue (on these kind of SPI controllers) this patch is trying to send the opcode alone as both opcode and address send together in current code.
On the performance note there is no significant issue on the transfer rate for adding this opcode xfer separately.
Sample test on 32MiB flash used in SiFive platform with PP and RF opcodes.
With existing code: => sf update 0x90000000 0x0 0x2000000 device 0 whole chip 33554432 bytes written, 0 bytes skipped in 543.795s, speed 63191 B/s
With opcode alone xfer: => sf update 0x90000000 0x0 0x2000000 device 0 whole chip 33554432 bytes written, 0 bytes skipped in 541.739s, speed 63429 B/s

Some of the SPI controllers have a special set of format registers that defines how the transfer is initiated to the FIFO by means of I/O protocol lines.
Each mode of transfer from slave would be required to configure the I/O protocol lines so-that the master would identify how many number I/O protocol lines were used and alter the protocol bits on the controller.
So, add the I/O protocol lines support via proto.
Slave would fill the number I/O protocol lines in proto then the master would alter the protocol bits on SPI controller based on the proto number.
Slave would fill the number I/O protocol lines in the proto then the master would alter the protocol bits on the SPI controller based on the proto number.
This would happen for each transfer alone instead combined transfers since each transfer has its own set of I/O protocol lines.

SiFive SPI controller has a proto bit field in frame format register which would be used to configure the SPI I/O protocol lines used on specific transfer.
Right now the driver is configuring this proto using slave->mode which is used for data transfer and opcode, address vary depending on the particular transfer at runtime.
Now the SPI framework supports per transfer I/O protocol lines, so use spi->proto instead of slave-mode.

Hi Bin, Jagan,
Thanks Jagan for posting the patches to enable QUAD SPI-NOR on HiFive Unleashed along with other sequels.

I guess Bin, you will also have to add following two patch series [1] and [2] before this set. I tested this and other series with following dependency chain over u-boot/master(e4837da7828293ea49abc579f939c0f5c4b127c3)

I could verify flash erase/read/write operations along with mmc spi.

Send the v4 w/o any dependencies, but on top of u-boot-spi/master tree. I/O protocol changes are now handled in spi-sifive via spi-mem exec_op for now since the actual generic code patch[3] will take some time to be in ML as it affects all platforms.
Please have a test at earliest.

Why cannot SiFive SPI controller implement spi_mem_ops? Is there a non flash SPI device that supports quad mode?

Yes. Well it is the proper way for handling all types of use cases (like Linux tx/rx_nbits does).

Adding this generic code in spi-mem looks like adding generic code to work for the sake of this controller. Eventually two code bases do the same job with some buswidth extension. Lets hold for some time for testing other boards.
Jagan.
