Re: [PATCH] spi/omap2_mcspi: disable and enable chan between each SPI transfer

[jason <jason77.wang-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org>]

Hi roman,

How about my test case, does it expose the real problem?

I know my original patch was a big change both for PIO mode and for
DMA mode, because there is no DMA mode device on my platform and
i can't validate whether DMA mode works fine with that patch, it is a bit
risky to apply that patch to upstream.

This time i limit my patch to PIO mode, In theory, it is safe for all 
PIO transfers.
The side effect is to add a little bit overhead for a sequence of 
TX_ONLY transfers.
But it really can solve my touch panel issue.

Is the following patch acceptable?

Subject: [PATCH] spi/omap2_mcspi: disable channel after TX_ONLY transfer 
in PIO mode

In TX_ONLY transfer, the spi controller will receive datas
simultaneously and hold them in the rx register, these datas will
affect the direct following RX_ONLY transfer. So add disable channel
to purge those rx datas.
