+Broadcom MSPI controller
+
+The Broadcom MSPI controller is a SPI controller found on various chips such
+as Cygnus.
+
+Required properties:
+- compatible: Must be "brcm,mspi-v0".
+
+- reg:  The first register is the physical base address of the MSPI controller.
+  The second register is the address of the MSPI interrupt control registers. It
+  is only required for chips that have a separate register set for extended
+  interrupt control. This is required for Cygnus.
+
+- interrupts: Interrupt ID of the controller.
+
+Optional properties:
+- clocks: The MSPI reference clock. If not provided then it is assumed a clock
+  is enabled by default and no control of clock-frequency (see below) is
+  possible.
+
+- clock-names: The name of the reference clock.
+
+- clock-frequency: Desired frequency of the clock. This will set the serial
+  clock baud rate (SPBR) based on the reference clock frequency. The frequency
+  of the SPBR is mspi_clk / (2 * SPBR) where SPBR is a value between 1-255
+  determined by the desired 'clock-frequency'. If not provided then the default
+  baud rate of the controller is used.
+
+Example:
+
+mspi: mspi@18047200 {
+	compatible = "brcm,mspi-v0";
+	reg = <0x18047200 0x188>,
+	      <0x180473a0 0x1c>;
+	interrupts = <GIC_SPI 70 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>;
+	clocks = <&axi41_clk>;
+	clock-names = "mspi_clk";
+	clock-frequency = <12500000>;
+};

In which case we would want to mandate the use of a "reg-names"
property, because there could be other kinds of controllers, such as the
one found on BCM7xxx where we have the 3 "reg" units, the first one is
the MSPI controller register range, while the two others are used for
the Boot SPI portion of the controller to accelerate flash reads, so
completely unrelated here.

Right now, using your driver on this Device Tree/configuration makes
bcm_mspi request the second register range and mistakenly assuming this
is the extended interrupt control register.

You could argue that the BSPI portion should be a separate node, but
even so, better be safe than sorry.

After adding an include/linux/io.h to fix the build error on the
implicit readl/write declaration, plus some additional tweaking, this
seems to detect a SPI flash correctly on BCM7xxx, however read transfers
don't return correct data, I think I have an idea why though.

Thanks!

This isn't really start_transfer() is it?  It's doing the entire

This is buggy, it's applying the per-transfer delay every timme we fill
the FIFO.

How is this going to work for full duplex transfers if we had to fill
the FIFO more than once?

Tell the core what the device supports and it will check for you.

I would expect the recieve and transmit operations to be running in
parallel, not executed one after another, given the need to keep
manually filling and draining the FIFOs.

I guess it depends on the reference clock frequency (as well as spbr)
which we may not know because I made it optional. I could possibly
calculate it. I'll look into this. I used the slowest possible spbr
based on our ref clock frequency and tested large transfers which never
timed out.

The driver was only written with NOR flash in mind as the slave. Since
this is really just half duplex, it works, though it won't with a real
full duplex slave. m25p80 never calls transfer_one with both tx and rx
buffers. The rx bytes that we don't care about from a tx request are
dropped.

We don't have any full duplex slaves so it's a hard to test. I could
possibly re-write this so that tx/rx is interleaved and that should be
good for full duplex or close enough that it won't have to be completely
overhauled should we ever connect a full duplex slave to it. Maybe I
should do that. This came from a pre-existing driver that had the same
limitation.

This doesn't exist but devm_spi_register_master() does which I used.

The purpose of this mspi interface is to connect to NOR flash.  There 
are other SPI interfaces on the devices used to connect to other SPI 
devies.  We don't have any need to support full duplex slaves on this 
port (NOR have any hardware wired this way - pun realized after typing 
this).

Chip vendors often say this sort of thing and then get surprised by what
their users choose to do, and even if it only ever gets used with flash
all it would take is some new flash command which can use full duplex
for something.  Please write the code so it at least tries to handle
full duplex operation, if you can't test it fully that's not the end of
the world.  It doesn't look like it should be particularly difficult.

Yes, there is always room for improvements in code.  In this case - it 
really is not worth our time to add code we can't test.  We try to 
deliver code that we can test and actually works.  Yes, if anyone needs 
to use the mspi for full duplex operation code can be added in the 
future - it is software.  This block has gone through many generations 
of our SoCs and has only been used for this purpose - the bootROM boots 
from this SPI only.  It is dedicated for this purpose.

Also, there are other SPI blocks on the SoC that are used for connect 
other SPI devices.  These SPI blocks are properly designed for 
full-duplex operation.  This mspi block is designed for connecting to 
NOR flash.

Scott

This is an implementation detail and architectural choice that is
specific to the Cygnus SoCs where a single MSPI is present, right?

This same MSPI block is instantiated multiple times in BCM7xxx chips to
interface to general purpose SPI slaves, ranging from Ethernet switches
to bluetooth chips etc... those will definitively want full-duplex to be
working.

I would greatly appreciate if some thought to supporting full duplex
transfers was given in this driver drop. If you cannot test that, then
maybe just flag the driver has been half-duplex only for now...

Thank you.

Hi Florian,
  Yes, we can flag that - but we have no understanding of how the block 
operates in this mode.  It would be great if your team could add the 
necessary full duplex support in a patch enhancement to the driver?

Going blind on this one isn't the way to go. If I had a real full duplex
slave I could experiment with it to get it working. But with the docs I
have on this and considering how finicky the block is I think we're
wasting our time.

All it takes is one hardware engineer who sees a SPI controller and a
GPIO they can use for chip select; I wouldn't be so sure that nobody
ever fixed this up locally (or happened to use a device that only needed
single duplex).

Hi Mark. Would it help if we just set the flags to half duplex using
SPI_MASTER_HALF_DUPLEX when we register the master?

That would deal with the data corruption issues, yes.  Though it seems
like there are some people who want full duplex support here - I don't
know if any of them can point you at suitable hardware to test?

I am fine with having the driver supporting only half-duplex for now,
considering that Jonathan and Scott have no peripheral to test
full-duplex with.

Getting you platforms and test setups could take more time than needed
so, let's proceed with the shortest path.
