The DMA TRE(Transfer ring element) buffer contains the DMA
buffer address. Accessing data from this address can cause
significant delays in SPI transfers, which can be mitigated to
some extent by utilizing immediate DMA support.

QCOM GPI DMA hardware supports an immediate DMA feature for data
up to 8 bytes, storing the data directly in the DMA TRE buffer
instead of the DMA buffer address. This enhancement enables faster
SPI data transfers.

This optimization reduces the average transfer time from 25 us to
16 us for a single SPI transfer of 8 bytes length, with a clock
frequency of 50 MHz.

Please defer applying the patch until the discussion on v1 comes to
conclusion.

First use of "len" is an assignment, so you shouldn't zero-initialize it
here.

And what happens if the developer writing the SPI driver forgets to read
this comment and sets QCOM_GPI_IMMEDIATE_DMA for a 9 byte transfer?

> +	if ((spi->flags & QCOM_GPI_IMMEDIATE_DMA) && direction == DMA_MEM_TO_DEV) {

Why is this flag introduced?

If I understand the next patch, all DMA_MEM_TO_DEV transfers of <=
QCOM_GPI_IMMEDIATE_DMA_LEN can use the immediate mode, so why not move
the condition here?

Also ordering[1].

	if (direction == DMA_MEM_TO_DEV && len <= 2 * sizeof(tre->dword[0]))


[1] Compare "all transfers of length 8 or less, which are mem to device"
vs "all transfers which are mem to device, with a length of 8 or less".
The bigger "selection criteria" is the direction, then that's fine tuned
by the length query.

> +		buf = sg_virt(sgl);

It's a question of style, but I think you could just put the sg_virt()
directly in the memcpy() call and avoid the extra variable.

The implementation of memcpy() is always more than 8 bytes, it's buf
that might be less than 8 bytes ;)

Also you're not "pre-filling", you're "zero-initializing", or just
"initialize".


That said, does it matter? Will the QUP read beyond the
TRE_DMA_IMMEDIATE_LEN bytes? If so, please put _that_ in the comment
("QUP reads beyond the provided len, so additional content needs to be
cleared", or similar)

Does the format of tre->dword[2] really change when
TRE_FLAGS_IMMEDIATE_DMA is set, or is TRE_DMA_IMMEDIATE_LEN just a
mask to highlight that len can't be more than 4 bits?

It seems like you could drop TRE_DMA_IMMEDIATE_LEN and just use
TRE_DMA_LEN here? (But it should match what the hardware programming
guide states)


Perhaps you could reduce the scope of this if/else then as well, as the
assignment of of dword[2] and dword[3] is mostly the same with and
without immediate mode (just the one bit to enable it)

Per above I think you can remove this flag, but "true for immediate DMA
support" doesn't match what you have written in the code. (Also in
general u8 shouldn't be "true")
