This driver mediates access between the connected CPLD and other devices
on the bus.
The m25p80-compatible boot flash and (some models) MMC use regular SPI,
bitbanged as required by the SoC. However the SPI-connected CPLD has
a "fast write" mode, in which two bits are transferred by SPI clock
cycle. The second bit is transmitted with the SoC's CS2 pin.
Protocol drivers using this fast write facility signal this by setting
the cs_change flag on transfers.

This looks like the driver needs to set SPI_MASTER_MUST_TX.

This seems broken - if chip select needs to be deasserted it should be
be deasserted before we get to unprepare, otherwise if more than one
SPI message is queued at once then presumably chip select won't be
deasserted between them which would break things. This is what the
set_cs() operation is for...

This is making very little sense to me and the fact that the driver is
messing with cs_change is definitely buggy, it'll mean that repeated use
of the same transfer will be broken. What is the above code supposed to
do, both with regard to selecting "fast" mode (why would you want slow
mode?) and with regard to the chip select?
I queried this on a previous version and asked for the code to be better
documented...

This should be removed, the driver should be setting bits_per_word_mask.

There's no error handling (or indeed any other code) disabling the
clock, probably this enable should happen later and those disables
definitely need adding. I'd also expect to see runtime PM to keep the
clock disabled when the controller isn't in use in order to save power.

devm_spi_register_master().

I documented it in the commit message:
The m25p80-compatible boot flash and (some models) MMC use regular SPI,
bitbanged as required by the SoC. However the SPI-connected CPLD has
a "fast write" mode, in which two bits are transferred by SPI clock
cycle. The second bit is transmitted with the SoC's CS2 pin.
Protocol drivers using this fast write facility signal this by setting
the cs_change flag on transfers.
The cs_change flag is used here instead of the openwrt version's
spi_transfer.fast_write flag. The CPLD driver sets this flag on a
per-transfer basis.
I wish I could tell you more about it, but I only know what I found in this
code.

No problem disabling the clock on error/remove, but PM doesn't seem worth
doing in this case -- the ath79 platform's clock enable/disable are just
dummy functions. The ar7100 series SoCs have no power management, it seems.
I have a patch addressing all your other comments.

I'm asking for the *code* to be better documented. Right now it's just
raising obvious questions which are at best going to cost people time
digging for the reasons.

No, this is broken - it's abusing a standard API in a way that's
completly incompatible with the meaning of that API which is obviously a
very bad idea, especially since good practice is to offload the
implementation of that standard API to the core. It *sounds* like
you're just trying to implement two wire mode which does have a standard
API, please use that.

Can you please advise what kind of solution would be acceptable then? I need
to signal from an SPI protocol driver to an SPI master on a per-transfer basis.
Adding a flag to struct spi_transfer for this one driver, as openwrt does,
seems stupid -- I agree. And sure, using spi_transfer.cs_change is a little
dodgy. But I don't see a standard way to do it otherwise, and I don't really
want to keep trying things until you approve of one. So tell me how you
would do it, and I'll implement it that way. I just want to get this code in.
Also, I have no idea what you mean by two-wire mode. This "fast mode" is SPI
+ one extra pin.

Please refer to my reply above...
