Subject: [PATCH 0/2] CQSPI: Add direct mode support

This patch series enables use Direct access controller on Cadence QSPI
which helps in accessing QSPI flash in memory mapped mode.

On TI platforms, this mode has higher throughput compared to indirect
access mode.

Tested on TI's 66AK2G GP EVM.

It would be great if this patch series could be tested SoCFPGA as well.
Although, this patch should have no effect on SoCFPGA platforms as driver
continues to use indirect mode when direct access memory window is less
than size of connected flash.

Subject: [PATCH 1/2] mtd: spi-nor: cadence-quadspi: Refactor indirect read/write sequence.

Move configuring of indirect read/write start address to
cqspi_indirect_*_execute() function and rename cqspi_indirect_*_setup()
function. This will help to reuse cqspi_indirect_*_setup() function for
supporting direct access mode.

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] mtd: spi-nor: cadence-quadspi: Add support for direct access mode

Cadence QSPI controller provides direct access mode through which flash
can be accessed in a memory-mapped IO mode. This enables read/write to
flash using memcpy*() functions. This mode provides higher throughput
for both read/write operations when compared to current indirect mode of
operation.

This patch therefore adds support to use QSPI in direct mode. If the
window reserved in SoC's memory map for MMIO access is less that of
flash size(like on most SoCFPGA variants), then the driver falls back
to indirect mode of operation.

On TI's 66AK2G SoC, with ARM running at 600MHz and QSPI at 96MHz
switching to direct mode improves read throughput from 3MB/s to 8MB/s.

I guess setting the ENB_DIR_ACC_CTRL bit could be set once for all when you
set use_direct_mode to true, couldn't it?

It may improve the read performance even more. However not expecting much
difference for Page Program operations.

Then you could call directly call mempcy_fromio() from cqspi_read().
Not mandatory for me, since I also like the symmetry of the 2 functions:
cqspi_direct_read_execute() / cqspi_indirect_read_execute().

So it's up to you :)

Please use dev_dbg() here insted of dev_info(). IMHO, this kind of output
is not really needed by regular users.

Otherwise, the series looks great!

Right, actually I can unconditionally set ENB_DIR_ACC_CTRL once in
cqspi_controller_init(). Indirect accesses will still be forwarded to
indirect access controller even if direct access controller is kept
enabled. So, indirect ops users are not affected.
I will make the changes in v2.

Agreed, will update that.

Thanks for the review! Will submit v2 shortly.
