The DW SSI errors handling method can be generically implemented for all
types of the transfers: IRQ, DMA and poll-based ones. It will be a
function which checks the overflow/underflow error flags and resets the
controller if any of them is set. In the framework of this commit we make
use of the new method to detect the errors in the IRQ- and DMA-based SPI
transfer execution procedures.Signed-off-by: Serge Semin

In case if at least one of the requested DMA engine channels doesn't
support the hardware accelerated SG list entries traverse, the DMA driver
will most likely work that around by performing the IRQ-based SG list
entries resubmission. That might and will cause a problem if the DMA Tx
channel is recharged and re-executed before the Rx DMA channel. Due to
non-deterministic IRQ-handler execution latency the DMA Tx channel will
start pushing data to the SPI bus before the Rx DMA channel is even
reinitialized with the next inbound SG list entry. By doing so the DMA
Tx channel will implicitly start filling the DW APB SSI Rx FIFO up, which
while the DMA Rx channel being recharged and re-executed will eventually
be overflown.In order to solve the problem we have to feed the DMA engine with SG
list entries one-by-one. It shall keep the DW APB SSI Tx and Rx FIFOs
synchronized and prevent the Rx FIFO overflow. Since in general the SPI
tx_sg and rx_sg lists may have different number of entries of different
lengths (though total length should match) we virtually split the
SG-lists to the set of DMA transfers, which length is a minimum of the
ordered SG-entries lengths.The solution described above is only executed if a full-duplex SPI
transfer is requested and the DMA engine hasn't provided channels with
hardware accelerated SG list traverse capability to handle both SG
lists at once.Signed-off-by: Serge Semin

In order to use the DMA submission and waiting methods in both generic
DMA-based SPI transfer and one-by-one DMA SG entries transmission
functions, we need to modify the dw_spi_dma_wait() and
dw_spi_dma_submit_tx()/dw_spi_dma_submit_rx() prototypes. So instead of
getting the SPI transfer object as the second argument they must accept
the exact data structure instances they imply to use. Those are the
current transfer length and the SPI bus frequency in case of
dw_spi_dma_wait(), and SG list together with number of list entries in
case of the DMA Tx/Rx submission methods.Signed-off-by: Serge Semin

DW APB SSI DMA driver doesn't use the native SPI core wait API since
commit bdbdf0f06337 ("spi: dw: Locally wait for the DMA transfers
completion"). Due to that the driver can now clear the DMAC register
in a single place synchronously with the DMA transactions completion
or failure. After that all the possible code paths are still covered:
1) DMA completion callbacks are executed in case if the corresponding DMA
transactions are finished. When they are, one of them will eventually wake
the SPI messages pump kernel thread and dw_spi_dma_transfer_all() method
will clean the DMAC register as implied by this patch.
2) dma_stop is called when the SPI core detects an error either returned
from the transfer_one() callback or set in the SPI message status field.
Both types of errors will be noticed by the dw_spi_dma_transfer_all()
method.
3) dma_exit is called when either SPI controller driver or the
corresponding device is removed. In any case the SPI core will first
flush the SPI messages pump kernel thread, so any pending or in-fly
SPI transfers will be finished before that.Due to all of that let's simplify the DW APB SSI DMA driver a bit and
move the DMAC register cleanup to a single place in the
dw_spi_dma_transfer_all() method.Signed-off-by: Serge Semin

In order to add an alternative method of DMA-based SPI transfer first we
need to detach the currently available one from the common code. Here we
move the normal DMA-based SPI transfer execution functionality into a
dedicated method. It will be utilized if either the DMA engine supports
an unlimited number SG entries or Tx-only SPI transfer is requested. But
currently just use it for any SPI transfer.Signed-off-by: Serge Semin

It's pointless to pass the Rx and Tx transfers DMA Tx-descriptors, since
they are used in the Tx/Rx submit method only. Instead just return the

We suggest to add the dmaengine_submit() return value test for errors. It
has been unnecessary while the driver was expected to be utilized in pair
with DW DMAC. But since now the driver can be used with any DMA engine, it
might be useful to track the errors on DMA submissions so not miss them
and get into an unpredictable driver behaviour.Signed-off-by: Serge Semin

Indeed we can freely move the dmaengine_submit() method invocation and the
Tx and Rx busy flag setting into the DMA Tx/Rx prepare methods. Since the
Tx/Rx preparation method is now mainly used for the DMA transfers
submission, here we suggest to rename it to have the _submit_{r,t}x suffix
instead.By having this alteration applied first we implement another code
preparation before adding the one-by-one DMA SG entries transmission,
second we now have the dma_async_tx_descriptor descriptor used locally
only in the new DMA transfers submission methods (this will be cleaned up
a bit later), third we make the generic transfer method more readable,
where now the functionality of submission, execution and wait procedures
is transparently split up instead of having a preparation, intermixed
submission/execution and wait procedures.Signed-off-by: Serge Semin

Checking rx_buf for being NULL and returning NULL from the Rx-channel
preparation method doesn't let us to distinguish that situation from
errors happening during the Rx SG-list preparation. So it's better to make
sure that the rx_buf not-NULL and full-duplex communication is requested
prior calling the Rx preparation method.Signed-off-by: Serge Semin

Mainly this is a preparation patch before adding one-by-one DMA SG entries
transmission. But logically the Tx and Rx DMA channels setup should be
performed in the dma_setup() callback anyway. So we'll move the DMA slave
channels src/dst burst lengths, address and address width configuration
from the Tx/Rx channels preparation methods to the dedicated functions and
then make sure it's called at the DMA setup stage.Note we now make sure the return value of the dmaengine_slave_config()
method doesn't indicate an error. It has been unnecessary in case if Dw
DMAC is utilized as a DMA engine, since its device_config() callback
always returns zero (though it might change in future). But since DW APB
SSI driver now supports any DMA back-end we must make sure the DMA device
configuration has been successful before proceeding with further setups.Signed-off-by: Serge Semin

Since commit 46164fde6b78 ("spi: dw: Fix Rx-only DMA transfers") if DMA
interface is enabled, then Tx-buffer must be available in each SPI
transfer. It's required since in order to activate the incoming data
reception either DMA or CPU must be pushing data out to the SPI bus.
But the DW APB SSI DMA driver code is still left in state as if Tx-buffer
might be optional, which is no longer true. Let's fix it so an error would
be returned if no Tx-buffer detected and DMA Tx would be always
enabled.Signed-off-by: Serge Semin

Indeed the registers content doesn't get cleared when the SPI controller
is disabled and enabled. Max burst lengths aren't changed since the Rx and
Tx DMA channels are requested on init stage and are kept acquired until
the device is removed. Obviously SPI controller FIFO depth can't be
changed. Due to all of that we can safely move the DMA Transmit and
Receive data level registers initialization to the SPI controller DMA init
stage (when the SPI controller is being probed) instead of doing it for
each SPI transfer when dma_setup is called. This shall speed the DMA-based
SPI transfer initialization up a bit, particularly if the APB bus is
relatively slow.Signed-off-by: Serge Semin

It turns out having a Rx DMA channel serviced with higher priority than
a Tx DMA channel is not enough to provide a well balanced DMA-based SPI
transfer interface. There might still be moments when the Tx DMA channel
is occasionally handled faster than the Rx DMA channel. That in its turn
will eventually cause the SPI Rx FIFO overflow if SPI bus speed is high
enough to fill the SPI Rx FIFO in before it's cleared by the Rx DMA
channel. That's why having the DMA-based SPI Tx interface too optimized
is the errors prone, so the commit 0b2b66514fc9 ("spi: dw: Use DMA max
burst to set the request thresholds") though being perfectly normal from
the standard functionality point of view implicitly introduced the problem
described above. In order to fix that the Tx DMA activity is intentionally
slowed down by limiting the SPI Tx FIFO depth with a value twice bigger
than the Tx burst length calculated earlier by the
dw_spi_dma_maxburst_init() method.Fixes: 0b2b66514fc9 ("spi: dw: Use DMA max burst to set the request thresholds")

This is a preparation patch before adding the DW DMA support into the
DW SPI MMIO driver. We need to unpin the Non-DMA-specific code from the
intended to be generic DW APB SSI DMA code. This isn't that hard,
since the most part of the spi-dw-mid.c driver in fact implements a
generic DMA interface for the DW SPI controller driver. The only Intel
MID specifics concern getting the max frequency from the MRST Clock
Control Unit and fetching the DMA controller channels from
corresponding PCIe DMA controller. Since first one is related with the
SPI interface configuration we moved it' implementation into the
DW PCIe-SPI driver module. After that former spi-dw-mid.c file
can be just renamed to be the DW SPI DMA module optionally compiled in to
the DW APB SSI core driver.Co-developed-by: Georgy Vlasov
