[PATCH] spi: simple SPI framework
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. From: Mark Underwood <basicmark@yahoo.com> Update the SPI framework to remove a potential priority inversion case by reverting to kmalloc if the pre-allocated DMA-safe buffer isn't available.

+config SPI
+ bool "SPI support"
+ help
+ The "Serial Peripheral Interface" is a low level synchronous
+ protocol. Chips that support SPI can have data transfer rates
+ up to several tens of Mbit/sec. Chips are addressed with a
+ controller and a chipselect. Most SPI slaves don't support
+ dynamic device discovery; some are even write-only or read-only.
+
+ SPI is widely used by microcontollers to talk with sensors,
+ eeprom and flash memory, codecs and various other controller
+ chips, analog to digital (and d-to-a) converters, and more.
+ MMC and SD cards can be accessed using SPI protocol; and for
+ DataFlash cards used in MMC sockets, SPI must always be used.
+
+ SPI is one of a family of similar protocols using a four wire
+ interface (select, clock, data in, data out) including Microwire
+ (half duplex), SSP, SSI, and PSP. This driver framework should
+ work with most such devices and controllers.
+
+config SPI_DEBUG
+ boolean "Debug support for SPI drivers"

+ Say "yes" to enable debug messaging (like dev_dbg and pr_debug),
+ sysfs, and debugfs support in SPI controller and protocol drivers.

+ help
+ If your system has an master-capable SPI controller (which
+ provides the clock and chipselect), you can enable that
+ controller and the protocol drivers for the SPI slave chips
+ that are connected.
