caif-driver: Add CAIF-SPI Protocol driver.
This patch introduces the CAIF SPI Protocol Driver for
CAIF Link Layer.
This driver implements a platform driver to accommodate for a
platform specific SPI device. A general platform driver is not
possible as there are no SPI Slave side Kernel API defined.
A sample CAIF SPI Platform device can be found in

1 | - CAIF SPI porting - | ||
2 | |||
3 | - CAIF SPI basics: | ||
4 | |||
5 | Running CAIF over SPI needs some extra setup, owing to the nature of SPI. | ||
6 | Two extra GPIOs have been added in order to negotiate the transfers | ||
7 | between the master and the slave. The minimum requirement for running | ||
8 | CAIF over SPI is a SPI slave chip and two GPIOs (more details below). | ||
9 | Please note that running as a slave implies that you need to keep up | ||
10 | with the master clock. An overrun or underrun event is fatal. | ||
11 | |||
12 | - CAIF SPI framework: | ||
13 | |||
14 | To make porting as easy as possible, the CAIF SPI has been divided in | ||
15 | two parts. The first part (called the interface part) deals with all | ||
16 | generic functionality such as length framing, SPI frame negotiation | ||
17 | and SPI frame delivery and transmission. The other part is the CAIF | ||
18 | SPI slave device part, which is the module that you have to write if | ||
19 | you want to run SPI CAIF on a new hardware. This part takes care of | ||
20 | the physical hardware, both with regard to SPI and to GPIOs. | ||
21 | |||
22 | - Implementing a CAIF SPI device: | ||
23 | |||
24 | - Functionality provided by the CAIF SPI slave device: | ||
25 | |||
26 | In order to implement a SPI device you will, as a minimum, | ||
27 | need to implement the following | ||
28 | functions: | ||
29 | |||
30 | int (*init_xfer) (struct cfspi_xfer * xfer, struct cfspi_dev *dev): | ||
31 | |||
32 | This function is called by the CAIF SPI interface to give | ||
33 | you a chance to set up your hardware to be ready to receive | ||
34 | a stream of data from the master. The xfer structure contains | ||
35 | both physical and logical adresses, as well as the total length | ||
36 | of the transfer in both directions.The dev parameter can be used | ||
37 | to map to different CAIF SPI slave devices. | ||
38 | |||
39 | void (*sig_xfer) (bool xfer, struct cfspi_dev *dev): | ||
40 | |||
41 | This function is called by the CAIF SPI interface when the output | ||
42 | (SPI_INT) GPIO needs to change state. The boolean value of the xfer | ||
43 | variable indicates whether the GPIO should be asserted (HIGH) or | ||
44 | deasserted (LOW). The dev parameter can be used to map to different CAIF | ||
45 | SPI slave devices. | ||
46 | |||
47 | - Functionality provided by the CAIF SPI interface: | ||
48 | |||
49 | void (*ss_cb) (bool assert, struct cfspi_ifc *ifc); | ||
50 | |||
51 | This function is called by the CAIF SPI slave device in order to | ||
52 | signal a change of state of the input GPIO (SS) to the interface. | ||
53 | Only active edges are mandatory to be reported. | ||
54 | This function can be called from IRQ context (recommended in order | ||
55 | not to introduce latency). The ifc parameter should be the pointer | ||
56 | returned from the platform probe function in the SPI device structure. | ||
57 | |||
58 | void (*xfer_done_cb) (struct cfspi_ifc *ifc); | ||
59 | |||
60 | This function is called by the CAIF SPI slave device in order to | ||
61 | report that a transfer is completed. This function should only be | ||
62 | called once both the transmission and the reception are completed. | ||
63 | This function can be called from IRQ context (recommended in order | ||
64 | not to introduce latency). The ifc parameter should be the pointer | ||
65 | returned from the platform probe function in the SPI device structure. | ||
66 | |||
67 | - Connecting the bits and pieces: | ||
68 | |||
69 | - Filling in the SPI slave device structure: | ||
70 | |||
71 | Connect the necessary callback functions. | ||
72 | Indicate clock speed (used to calculate toggle delays). | ||
73 | Chose a suitable name (helps debugging if you use several CAIF | ||
74 | SPI slave devices). | ||
75 | Assign your private data (can be used to map to your structure). | ||
76 | |||
77 | - Filling in the SPI slave platform device structure: | ||
78 | Add name of driver to connect to ("cfspi_sspi"). | ||
79 | Assign the SPI slave device structure as platform data. | ||
80 | |||
81 | - Padding: | ||
82 | |||
83 | In order to optimize throughput, a number of SPI padding options are provided. | ||
84 | Padding can be enabled independently for uplink and downlink transfers. | ||
85 | Padding can be enabled for the head, the tail and for the total frame size. | ||
86 | The padding needs to be correctly configured on both sides of the link. | ||
87 | The padding can be changed via module parameters in cfspi_sspi.c or via | ||
88 | the sysfs directory of the cfspi_sspi driver (before device registration). | ||
