Subject: [PATCH v5 0/2] spi: dts: sun4i: Add support for wait time between word transmissions

Hi all,

This patch set adds a new property "spi-word-wait-ns" to the spi-bus
binding that allows SPI slave devices to set a wait time between the
transmission of words. Modifies the spi_device struct and slave device
probing to read and store the new property.

Also modifies the sun4i SPI master driver to make use of the new property.
This specific SPI controller needs 3 clock cycles to set up the delay,
which makes the minimum non-zero wait time on this hardware 4 clock cycles.

Changes from v1:
* renamed the property for more clarity
* wait time is set in nanoseconds instead of number of clock cycles
* transparently handle the 3 setup clock cycles

Changes from v2:
* fixed typo in comment
* moved parameter to spi-bus binding, dropping the vendor prefix
* changed commit summary and description to reflect the changes

Changes from v3:
* remove reference to "hardware" in comments and description, as the wait
time could also be implemented in software
* read and set property value in spi core

Changes from v4:
* log with dev_dbg instead of dev_info
* split patch into two separate ones for SPI-core and sun4i parts

You should use the actual rate of the clock returned by clk_get_rate
(or probably just use mclk_rate).

The clock driver might round the frequency to something else than what
was set in clk_set_rate, which would make your calculation here a bit
off.

Yes, good point! And as the wait clock counter is based on the actual
SPI_CLK and not the mod clock, I need to calculate the exact clock
myself before handling the wait clock setting. Will amend the patch
and send a new version.

While looking into this, I also noticed a problem with a previous
patch of mine, which changed the spi-sun[46]i to use
transfer->speed_hz instead of the spi->max_speed_hz: I also changed
the mclk_rate calculation to be based on tfr->speed_hz, which should
have stayed with spi->max_speed_hz. In the current state, the clock
calculations only ever increase mclk_rate, wich leads to very
different clocks being set depending on which clock was used on the
previous transfer. Will send a fix for that as well in a separate
patch.

Cheers,

Marcus
