Subject: [PATCH 01/10] spi: dw: Add support for polled operation via no IRQ specified in DT

With this change a SPI controller can be added without having a IRQ
associated, and causing all transfers to be polled. For SPI controllers
without DMA, this can significantly improve performance by less
interrupt handling overhead.

Candidate to be in include/linux/irq.h ?

Isn't free_irq() aware of invalid ones (not found IRQ in the tree or
any other backend container won't do anything)?

Thanks for copying me these mails. I haven't been Cc'ed in the series and
hasn't been subscribed to the SPI mailing list, so I would have definitely
missed that.

I would like to coordinate my efforts with Lars. I'll have the patchset reviewed
soon in addition providing my comments/suggestions of how to make it useful for
both mine and Lars solution.

One thing I can tell about the mem_ops he implemented, is that they aren't
mem_ops, but dirmap (as you remember it's also implemented in my code, but with
alignment specific), and the exec_mem_op partly consists of a code, which belong
to the supports_op() callback. The rest of my comments will be inlined in the
patches.

Serge - thanks for taking on this.

Note that my primary concern now is to get Sparx5 upstreamed. The
mem_ops (or dirmap) and polled mode are both performance enhancements,
which can be pulled from my series if it creates too much noise. I can
then add the necessary on top of your work/current kernel at a later
time.

Thanks, I will work with Serge on getting this integrated right.

I'll rework this with Serge.

Mark and Andy are right. It is a good candidate to be in a generic IRQ-related
code as Anyd suggested:

So if you feel like to author additional useful patch integrated into the
kernel, this one is a good chance for it.

Please note. The chip->poll and the poll_transfer() methods've been discarded
from the driver, since commit 1ceb09717e98 ("spi: dw: remove cs_control and
poll_mode members from chip_data"). So you gonna have to get the
poll_transfer-like method back.
