ChangeLog
v3:
- replace "Alternative Command Mode" by "Chip Select Active After Transfer" in
the DT bindings documentation. The "Alternative Command Mode" is a feature of
the I2C controller.
- rename somes "size" variables to "num_data" to ease the distinction between
the number of bytes and the number of data to transfer.
v2:
- read the Status Register to clear its RX FIFO Threshold Flag (RXFTHF) before
writing into the IER to enable the RXFTHF interrupt.
- remove the reset of the FIFO Mode Register (FMR) at the end of transfers
because setting the RX FIFO Threshold to 0 also sets the RXFTHF bit in SR.
- add a 3rd patch in the series to update the documentation of DT bindings.
v1:
This series of patches add support to features introduced by the Atmel sama5d2x
SoC
Cyrille Pitchen (3):
spi: atmel: add support for the internal chip-select of the spi
controller
spi: atmel: update DT bindings documentation
spi: atmel: add support to FIFOs

1.8.2.2
This patch relies on the CSAAT (Chip Select Active After Transfer) feature
introduced by the version 2 of the spi controller. This new mode allows to
use properly the internal chip-select output pin of the spi controller
instead of using external gpios. Consequently, the "cs-gpios" device-tree
property becomes optional.
When the new CSAAT bit is set into the Chip Select Register, the internal
chip-select output pin remains asserted till both the following conditions
become true:
- the LASTXFER bit is set into the Control Register (or the Transmit Data
Register)
- the Transmit Data Register and its shift register are empty.
WARNING: if the LASTXFER bit is set into the Control Register then new
data are written into the Transmit Data Register fast enough to keep its
shifter not empty, the chip-select output pin remains asserted. Only when
the shifter becomes empty, the chip-select output pin is unasserted.
When the CSAAT bit is clear in the Chip Select Register, the LASTXFER bit
is ignored in both the Control Register and the Transmit Data Register.
The internal chip-select output pin remains active as long as the Transmit
Data Register or its shift register are not empty.

1.8.2.2
To enable the FIFO feature a "atmel,fifo-size" attribute with a strictly
positive value must be added into the node of the device-tree describing
the spi controller.
When FIFOs are enabled, the RX one is forced to operate in SINGLE data
mode because this driver configures the spi controller as a master. In
master mode only, the Received Data Register has an additionnal Peripheral
Chip Select field, which prevents us from reading more than a single data
at each register access.
Besides, the TX FIFO operates in MULTIPLE data mode. However, even when a
8bit data size is used, only two data by access could be written into the
Transmit Data Register. Indeed the first data has to be written into the
lowest 16 bits whereas the second data has to be written into the highest
16 bits of the TDR. When DMA transfers are used to send data, we don't
rework the transmit buffer to cope with this hardware limitation: the
additional copies required to prepare a new input buffer suited to both
the DMA controller and the spi controller would waste all the benefit of
the DMA transfer. Instead, the DMA controller is configured to write only
one data at time into the TDR.
In pio mode, two data are written in the TDR in a single access.

Why is this a property and not something we know from the IP version?

Applied, thanks.

I'd expect the driver to use FIFOs any time they make sense, I wouldn't
expect this to be something that requires configuration - I'd expect
that there's going to be at least some FIFO in all versions of the IP,
even if the size varies. Is that not the case?

This is very hard to understand as I have no idea what single and
multiple data modes are, sorry. Please write your commit messages so
they can be read by people who aren't familiar with the internals of the
IP.

Hi Mark,
Please be aware that the VERSION register can not be used to guess the
size of FIFOs. Indeed, for a given hardware version, the SPI controller
can be integrated on Atmel SoCs with different FIFO sizes. Also the
"atmel,fifo-size" property is optional as older SPI controllers don't
embed FIFO at all.
Besides, the FIFO size can not be read or guessed from other registers:
When designing the FIFO feature, no dedicated registers were added to
store this size. Unused spaces in the I/O register range are limited and
better reserved for future usages. Instead, the FIFO size of each
peripheral is documented in the programmer datasheet.
Finally, on a given SoC, there can be several instances of the SPI
controller with different FIFO sizes. This explain why we'd rather use a
dedicated DT property than use the "compatible" property.
I hope these pieces of information will help to clarify this point.
Of course, we are open to other suggestions.

Ugh, what a wonderfully consistent hardware design :( Please make it
clear in the documentation what is going on here, this looks like an
obvious bug in the DT binding - a very common pattern for bugs is to do
version quirks like this as properties.
