This series includes examples of how this can be implemented for both an SPI controller and an SPI device. The motivation here is to take advantage of DMA transfers with an analog/digital convert chip. This chip requires that the chip select line be toggled after each word send in order to drive the internal circuitry of the chip. The way we were accomplishing this was, for example, to read 16 channels, we would create 16 SPI _transfer_s in one SPI _message_. Although this works, it uses quite a bit of CPU because we have to do work at the end of each transfer to get the next transfer ready. When you are polling the chip at 100Hz, this CPU usage adds up. The SPI controller being used has DMA support, but only on the _transfer_ level and not on the _message_ level. So, to take advantage of DMA, we need to read all of the A/DC channels in a single _transfer_. The SPI controller is capable automatically toggling the chip select line during a DMA transfer, so we are adding a new SPI flag in order to take advantage of this. I have tested both the default software implementation and the spi-davinci implementation with the A/DC driver in this series. v2 changes: - dropped patch "spi: spi-bitbang: change flags from u8 to u16" that has already been applied - new patch "spi: add software implementation for SPI_CS_WORD" that provides a default implementation of SPI_CS_WORD for controllers David Lechner (4): spi: add new SPI_CS_WORD flag spi: add software implementation for SPI_CS_WORD iio: adc: ti-ads7950: use SPI_CS_WORD to reduce CPU usage spi: spi-davinci: Add support for SPI_CS_WORD drivers/iio/adc/ti-ads7950.c | 53 +++++++++++++++++++++--------------- drivers/spi/spi-davinci.c | 11 ++++++-- drivers/spi/spi.c | 32 +++++++++++++++++++++- include/linux/spi/spi.h | 2 +- 4 files changed, 71 insertions(+), 27 deletions(-)
