David Brownell d29389de0b spi_gpio driver
Generalize the old at91rm9200 "bootstrap" bitbanging SPI master driver as
"spi_gpio", so it works with arbitrary GPIOs and can be configured through
platform_data.  Such SPI masters support:

 - any number of bus instances (bus_num is the platform_device.id)
 - any number of chipselects (one GPIO per spi_device)
 - all four SPI_MODE values, and SPI_CS_HIGH
 - i/o word sizes from 1 to 32 bits;
 - devices configured as with any other spi_master controller

When configured using platform_data, this provides relatively low clock
rates.  On platforms that support inlined GPIO calls, significantly
improved transfer speeds are also possible with a semi-custom driver.
(It's still painful when accessing flash memory, but less so.)

Sanity checked by using this version to replace both native controllers on
a board with six different SPI slaves, relying on three different
SPI_MODE_* values and both SPI_CS_HIGH settings for correct operation.

Jan Nikitenko 63bd23591e au1550 SPI controller driver
Here is a driver for the Alchemy au1550 PSC (Programmable Serial
Controller) in SPI master mode.

It supports dma transfers using the Alchemy descriptor based dma controller
for 4-8 bits per word SPI transfers.  For 9-24 bits per word transfers, pio
irq based mode is used to avoid setup of dma channels from scratch on each
number of bits per word change.

Tested with au1550; this may also work on other MIPS Alchemy cpus, like
au1200/au1210/au1250.  Used extensively with SD card connected via SPI;
this handles 8.1MHz SPI clock transfers using dma without any problem (the
highest SPI clock freq possible with au1550 running on 324MHz).

The driver supports sharing of SPI bus by multiple devices.  All features
of Alchemy SPI mode are supported (all SPI modes, msb/lsb first, bits per
word in 4-24 range).

As the SPI clock of the controller depends on main input clock that shall
be configured externally, platform data structure for au1550 SPI controller
driver contains mainclk_hz attribute to define the input clock rate.  From
this value, dividers of the controller for SPI clock are set up for
required frequency.

Andrea Paterniani 69c202afa8 [PATCH] SPI: Freescale iMX SPI controller driver (BIS+)
Add the SPI controller driver for Freescale i.MX(S/L/1).
Main features summary:

 > Per chip setup via board specific code and/or protocol driver.
 > Per transfer setup.
 > PIO transfers.
 > DMA transfers.
 > Managing of NULL tx / rx buffer for rd only / wr only transfers.

This patch replace patch-2.6.20-rc4-spi_imx with the following changes:
 > Few cosmetic changes.
 > Function map_dma_buffers now return 0 for success and -1 for failure.
 > Solved a bug inside spi_imx_probe function (wrong error path).
 > Solved a bug inside setup function (bad undo setup for max_speed_hz).
 > For read-only transfers, always write zero bytes.

This is almost the same as the 'BIS' version sent by Andrea, except for
updating the 'DUMMY' byte so that read-only transfers shift out zeroes.
That part of the API changed recently, since some half duplex peripheral
chips require that semantic.

David Brownell 9904f22a72 [PATCH] spi: add spi_bitbang driver
This adds a bitbanging spi master, hooking up to board/adapter-specific glue
code which knows how to set and read the signals (gpios etc).

This code kicks in after the glue code creates a platform_device with the
right platform_data.  That data includes I/O loops, which will usually
come from expanding an inline function (provided in the header).  One goal
is that the I/O loops should be easily optimized down to a few GPIO register
accesses, in common cases, for speed and minimized overhead.

This understands all the currently defined protocol tweaking options in the
SPI framework, and might eventually serve as as reference implementation.

  - different word sizes (1..32 bits)
  - differing clock rates
  - SPI modes differing by CPOL (affecting chip select and I/O loops)
  - SPI modes differing by CPHA (affecting I/O loops)
  - delays (usecs) after transfers
  - temporarily deselecting chips in mid-transfer

A lot of hardware could work with this framework, though common types of
controller can't reach peak performance without switching to a driver
structure that supports pipelining of transfers (e.g.  DMA queues) and maybe
controllers (e.g.  IRQ driven).

David Brownell 8ae12a0d85 [PATCH] spi: simple SPI framework
This is the core of a small SPI framework, implementing the model of a
queue of messages which complete asynchronously (with thin synchronous
wrappers on top).

  - It's still less than 2KB of ".text" (ARM).  If there's got to be a
    mid-layer for something so simple, that's the right size budget.  :)

  - The guts use board-specific SPI device tables to build the driver
    model tree.  (Hardware probing is rarely an option.)

  - This version of Kconfig includes no drivers.  At this writing there
    are two known master controller drivers (PXA/SSP, OMAP MicroWire)
    and three protocol drivers (CS8415a, ADS7846, DataFlash) with LKML
    mentions of other drivers in development.

  - No userspace API.  There are several implementations to compare.
    Implement them like any other driver, and bind them with sysfs.

The changes from last version posted to LKML (on 11-Nov-2005) are minor,
and include:

  - One bugfix (removes a FIXME), with the visible effect of making device
    names be "spiB.C" where B is the bus number and C is the chipselect.

  - The "caller provides DMA mappings" mechanism now has kerneldoc, for
    DMA drivers that want to be fancy.

  - Hey, the framework init can be subsys_init.  Even though board init
    logic fires earlier, at arch_init ... since the framework init is
    for driver support, and the board init support uses static init.

  - Various additional spec/doc clarifications based on discussions
    with other folk.  It adds a brief "thank you" at the end, for folk
    who've helped nudge this framework into existence.

As I've said before, I think that "protocol tweaking" is the main support
that this driver framework will need to evolve.

  Update the SPI framework to remove a potential priority inversion case by
  reverting to kmalloc if the pre-allocated DMA-safe buffer isn't available.
