* spi: bugfix spi_add_device() with duplicate chipselectsDavid Brownell2008-08-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When reviewing a recent patch I noticed a potential trouble spot in the registration of new SPI devices. The SPI master driver is told to set the device up before adding it to the driver model, so that it's always properly set up when probe() is called. (This is important, because in the case of inverted chipselects, this device can make the bus misbehave until it's properly deselected. It's got to be set up even if no driver binds to the device.) The trouble spot is that it doesn't first verify that no other device has been added using that chipselect. If such a device has been added, its configuration gets trashed. (Fortunately this has not been a common error!) The fix here adds an explicit check, and a mutex to protect the relevant critical region.

* spi: split up spi_new_device() to allow two stage registration.Grant Likely2008-07-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | spi_new_device() allocates and registers an spi device all in one swoop. If the driver needs to add extra data to the spi_device before it is registered, then this causes problems. This is needed for OF device tree support so that the SPI device tree helper can add a pointer to the device node after the device is allocated, but before the device is registered. OF aware SPI devices can then retrieve data out of the device node to populate a platform data structure. This patch splits the allocation and registration portions of code out of spi_new_device() and creates two new functions; spi_alloc_device() and spi_register_device(). spi_new_device() is modified to use the new functions for allocation and registration. None of the existing users of spi_new_device() should be affected by this change. Drivers using the new API can forego the use of spi_board_info structure to describe the device layout and populate data into the spi_device structure directly. This change is in preparation for adding an OF device tree parser to generate spi_devices based on data in the device tree.

* spi: make spi_board_info.modalias a char arrayGrant Likely2008-07-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, 'modalias' in the spi_device structure is a 'const char *'. The spi_new_device() function fills in the modalias value from a passed in spi_board_info data block. Since it is a pointer copy, the new spi_device remains dependent on the spi_board_info structure after the new spi_device is registered (no other fields in spi_device directly depend on the spi_board_info structure; all of the other data is copied). This causes a problem when dynamically propulating the list of attached SPI devices. For example, in arch/powerpc, the list of SPI devices can be populated from data in the device tree. With the current code, the device tree adapter must kmalloc() a new spi_board_info structure for each new SPI device it finds in the device tree, and there is no simple mechanism in place for keeping track of these allocations. This patch changes modalias from a 'const char *' to a fixed char array. By copying the modalias string instead of referencing it, the dependency on the spi_board_info structure is eliminated and an outside caller does not need to maintain a separate spi_board_info allocation for each device. If searched through the code to the best of my ability for any references to modalias which may be affected by this change and haven't found anything. It has been tested with the lite5200b platform in arch/powerpc.

* spi device setup gets better error checkingDavid Brownell2007-07-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This updates some error reporting paths in SPI device setup: - Move validation logic for SPI chipselects to spi_new_device(), which is where it should always have been. - In spi_new_device(), emit error messages if the device can't be created. This is LOTS better than a silent failure; though eventually, the calling convention should probably change to use the <linux/err.h> conventions. - Includes one previously-missing check: SPI masters must always have at least one chipselect, even for dedicated busses which always keep it selected! It also adds a FIXME (IDR for dynamic ID allocation) so the issue doesn't live purely in my mailbox.

* [PATCH] SPI: alternative fix for spi_busnum_to_masterAtsushi Nemoto2007-01-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If a SPI master device exists, udev (udevtrigger) causes kernel crash, due to wrong kobj pointer in kobject_uevent_env(). This problem was not in 2.6.19. The backtrace (on MIPS) was: [<8024db6c>] kobject_uevent_env+0x54c/0x5e8 [<802a8264>] store_uevent+0x1c/0x3c (in drivers/class.c) [<801cb14c>] subsys_attr_store+0x2c/0x50 [<801cb80c>] flush_write_buffer+0x38/0x5c [<801cb900>] sysfs_write_file+0xd0/0x190 [<80181444>] vfs_write+0xc4/0x1a0 [<80181cdc>] sys_write+0x54/0xa0 [<8010dae4>] stack_done+0x20/0x3c flush_write_buffer() passes kobject of spi_master_class.subsys to subsys_addr_store(), then subsys_addr_store() passes a pointer to a struct subsystem to store_uevent() which expects a pointer to a struct class_device. The problem seems subsys_attr_store() called instead of class_device_attr_store(). This mismatch was caused by commit 3bd0f6943520e459659d10f3282285e43d3990f1, which overrides kset of master class. This made spi_master_class.subsys.kset.ktype NULL so subsys_sysfs_ops is used instead of class_dev_sysfs_ops. The commit was to fix spi_busnum_to_master(). Here is a patch fixes this function in other way, just searching children list of class_device.

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.

* [PATCH] spi: simple SPI frameworkDavid Brownell2006-01-13
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.
