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

The minimum requirement for running +CAIF over SPI is a SPI slave chip and two GPIOs (more details below). +Please note that running as a slave implies that you need to keep up +with the master clock. An overrun or underrun event is fatal. + +- CAIF SPI framework: + +To make porting as easy as possible, the CAIF SPI has been divided in +two parts. The first part (called the interface part) deals with all +generic functionality such as length framing, SPI frame negotiation +and SPI frame delivery and transmission. The other part is the CAIF +SPI slave device part, which is the module that you have to write if +you want to run SPI CAIF on a new hardware. This part takes care of +the physical hardware, both with regard to SPI and to GPIOs. + +- Implementing a CAIF SPI device: + + - Functionality provided by the CAIF SPI slave device: + + In order to implement a SPI device you will, as a minimum, + need to implement the following + functions: + + int (*init_xfer) (struct cfspi_xfer * xfer, struct cfspi_dev *dev): + + This function is called by the CAIF SPI interface to give + you a chance to set up your hardware to be ready to receive + a stream of data from the master. The xfer structure contains + both physical and logical adresses, as well as the total length + of the transfer in both directions.The dev parameter can be used + to map to different CAIF SPI slave devices. + + void (*sig_xfer) (bool xfer, struct cfspi_dev *dev): + + This function is called by the CAIF SPI interface when the output + (SPI_INT) GPIO needs to change state. The boolean value of the xfer + variable indicates whether the GPIO should be asserted (HIGH) or + deasserted (LOW). The dev parameter can be used to map to different CAIF + SPI slave devices. + + - Functionality provided by the CAIF SPI interface: + + void (*ss_cb) (bool assert, struct cfspi_ifc *ifc); + + This function is called by the CAIF SPI slave device in order to + signal a change of state of the input GPIO (SS) to the interface. + Only active edges are mandatory to be reported. + This function can be called from IRQ context (recommended in order + not to introduce latency). The ifc parameter should be the pointer + returned from the platform probe function in the SPI device structure. + + void (*xfer_done_cb) (struct cfspi_ifc *ifc); + + This function is called by the CAIF SPI slave device in order to + report that a transfer is completed. This function should only be + called once both the transmission and the reception are completed. + This function can be called from IRQ context (recommended in order + not to introduce latency). The ifc parameter should be the pointer + returned from the platform probe function in the SPI device structure. + + - Connecting the bits and pieces: + + - Filling in the SPI slave device structure: + + Connect the necessary callback functions. + Indicate clock speed (used to calculate toggle delays). + Chose a suitable name (helps debugging if you use several CAIF + SPI slave devices). + Assign your private data (can be used to map to your structure). + + - Filling in the SPI slave platform device structure: + Add name of driver to connect to ("cfspi_sspi"). + Assign the SPI slave device structure as platform data. + +- Padding: + +In order to optimize throughput, a number of SPI padding options are provided. +Padding can be enabled independently for uplink and downlink transfers. +Padding can be enabled for the head, the tail and for the total frame size. +The padding needs to be correctly configured on both sides of the link. +The padding can be changed via module parameters in cfspi_sspi.c or via +the sysfs directory of the cfspi_sspi driver (before device registration). + +- CAIF SPI device template: + +/* + * Copyright (C) ST-Ericsson AB 2010 + * Author: Daniel Martensson / Daniel.Martensson@stericsson.com + * License terms: GNU General Public License (GPL), version 2. + * + */ + +#include <linux/init.h> +#include <linux/module.h> +#include <linux/device.h> +#include <linux/wait.h> +#include <linux/interrupt.h> +#include <linux/dma-mapping.h> +#include <net/caif/caif_spi.h> + +MODULE_LICENSE("GPL"); + +struct sspi_struct { + struct cfspi_dev sdev; + struct cfspi_xfer *xfer; +}; + +static struct sspi_struct slave; +static struct platform_device slave_device; + +static irqreturn_t sspi_irq(int irq, void *arg) +{ + /* You only need to trigger on an edge to the active state of the + * SS signal.
