There is another generic img spi hardware block which is not register compatible and doesn't have the flash interface which is also in existing SoC's. There is a separate img-spi driver for that which has not yet been mainlined. I think spi-img-spfi would be ok for this driver. There is also another sfc (Serial Flash Controller), block in the pipeline, so that could then be called spi-img-sfc. > > It would still be better to use a name less impressively generic - this is an > entire company, not even a product line. > > > >> + cpu_relax(); > > > > Seems random - we already relax in the data transfer? > > > We don't relax in the transfers - would that be a better place to put > > it?
