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 .../Documentation/networking/caif/spi_porting.txt Signed-off-by: Sjur Braendeland <sjur.brandeland@stericsson.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

1- CAIF SPI porting -
2
3- CAIF SPI basics:
4
5Running CAIF over SPI needs some extra setup, owing to the nature of SPI.
6Two extra GPIOs have been added in order to negotiate the transfers
7 between the master and the slave. The minimum requirement for running
8CAIF over SPI is a SPI slave chip and two GPIOs (more details below).
9Please note that running as a slave implies that you need to keep up
10with the master clock. An overrun or underrun event is fatal.
11
12- CAIF SPI framework:
13
14To make porting as easy as possible, the CAIF SPI has been divided in
15two parts. The first part (called the interface part) deals with all
16generic functionality such as length framing, SPI frame negotiation
17and SPI frame delivery and transmission. The other part is the CAIF
18SPI slave device part, which is the module that you have to write if
19you want to run SPI CAIF on a new hardware. This part takes care of
20the 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
83In order to optimize throughput, a number of SPI padding options are provided.
84Padding can be enabled independently for uplink and downlink transfers.
85Padding can be enabled for the head, the tail and for the total frame size.
86The padding needs to be correctly configured on both sides of the link.
87The padding can be changed via module parameters in cfspi_sspi.c or via
88the sysfs directory of the cfspi_sspi driver (before device registration).
