And here's what you were comparing it to. I'll post this twice,
once inline (here) for inlined followups, and once as an attachment
(next) for anyone that wants to apply it ... since I recall "kmail"
liking to zealously mangle tabs and line ends.
Oh, and a bitbang/parport driver seems to be limping. :)
- Dave
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.
NOTE: The version now in the "mm" tree had to change the "hotplug"
callback to be named "uevent"; driver model changes. And of course,
for hotplugging to work, /sbin/hotplug should "modprobe $MODALIAS".

+Overview of Linux kernel SPI support
+====================================
+
+22-Nov-2005
+
+What is SPI?
+------------
+The "Serial Peripheral Interface" (SPI) is a four-wire point-to-point
+serial link used to connect microcontrollers to sensors and memory.
+
+The three signal wires hold a clock (SCLK, often on the order of 10 MHz),
+and parallel data lines with "Master Out, Slave In" (MOSI) or "Master In,
+Slave Out" (MISO) signals. (Other names are also used.) There are four
+clocking modes through which data is exchanged; mode-0 and mode-3 are most
+commonly used.
+
+SPI masters may use a "chip select" line to activate a given SPI slave
+device, so those three signal wires may be connected to several chips
+in parallel. All SPI slaves support chipselects. Some devices have
+other signals, often including an interrupt to the master.
+
+Unlike serial busses like USB or SMBUS, even low level protocols for
+SPI slave functions are usually not interoperable between vendors
+(except for cases like SPI memory chips).
+
+ - SPI may be used for request/response style device protocols, as with
+ touchscreen sensors and memory chips.
+
+ - It may also be used to stream data in either direction (half duplex),
+ or both of them at the same time (full duplex).
+
+ - Some devices may use eight bit words. Others may different word
+ lengths, such as streams of 12-bit or 20-bit digital samples.
+
+In the same way, SPI slaves will only rarely support any kind of automatic
+discovery/enumeration protocol. The tree of slave devices accessible from
+a given SPI master will normally be set up manually, with configuration
+tables.
+
+SPI is only one of the names used by such four-wire protocols, and
+most controllers have no problem handling "MicroWire" (think of it as
+half-duplex SPI, for request/response protocols), SSP ("Synchronous
+Serial Protocol"), PSP ("Programmable Serial Protocol"), and other
+related protocols.
+
+Microcontrollers often support both master and slave sides of the SPI
+protocol. This document (and Linux) currently only supports the master
+side of SPI interactions.
+
+
+Who uses it? On what kinds of systems?
+---------------------------------------
+Linux developers using SPI are probably writing device drivers for embedded
+systems boards. SPI is used to control external chips, and it is also a
+protocol supported by every MMC or SD memory card. (The older "DataFlash"
+cards, predating MMC cards but using the same connectors and card shape,
+support only SPI.) Some PC hardware uses SPI flash for BIOS code.
+
+SPI slave chips range from digital/analog converters used for analog
+sensors and codecs, to memory, to peripherals like USB controllers
+or Ethernet adapters; and more.
+
+Most systems using SPI will integrate a few devices on a mainboard.
+Some provide SPI links on expansion connectors; in cases where no
+dedicated SPI controller exists, GPIO pins can be used to create a
+low speed "bitbanging" adapter. Very few systems will "hotplug" an SPI
+controller; the reasons to use SPI focus on low cost and simple operation,
+and if dynamic reconfiguration is important, USB will often be a more
+appropriate low-pincount peripheral bus.
+
+Many microcontrollers that can run Linux integrate one or more I/O
+interfaces with SPI modes. Given SPI support, they could use MMC or SD
+cards without needing a special purpose MMC/SD/SDIO controller.
+
+
+How do these driver programming interfaces work?
+------------------------------------------------
+The <linux/spi/spi.h> header file includes kerneldoc, as does the
+main source code, and you should certainly read that. This is just
+an overview, so you get the big picture before the details.
+
+There are two types of SPI driver, here called:
+
+ Controller drivers ... these are often built in to System-On-Chip
+ processors, and often support both Master and Slave roles.
+ These drivers touch hardware registers and may use DMA.
+
+ Protocol drivers ... these pass messages through the controller
+ driver to communicate with a Slave or Master device on the
+ other side of an SPI link.
+
+So for example one protocol driver might talk to the MTD layer to export
+data to filesystems stored on SPI flash like DataFlash; and others might
+control audio interfaces, present touchscreen sensors as input interfaces,
+or monitor temperature and voltage levels during industrial processing.
+And those might all be sharing the same controller driver.
+
+A "struct spi_device" encapsulates the master-side interface between
+those two types of driver. At this writing, Linux has no slave side
+programming interface.
+
+There is a minimal core of SPI programming interfaces, focussing on
+using driver model to connect controller and protocol drivers using
+device tables provided by board specific initialization code. SPI
+shows up in sysfs in several locations:
+
+ /sys/devices/.../CTLR/spiB.C ... spi_device for on bus "B",
+ chipselect C, accessed through CTLR.

+
+The basic I/O primitive submits an asynchronous message to an I/O queue
+maintained by the controller driver. A completion callback is issued
+asynchronously when the data transfer(s) in that message completes.
+There are also some simple synchronous wrappers for those calls.
+
+
+How does board-specific init code declare SPI devices?
+------------------------------------------------------
+Linux needs several kinds of information to properly configure SPI devices.
+That information is normally provided by board-specific code, even for
+chips that do support some of automated discovery/enumeration.
+
+DECLARE CONTROLLERS
+
+The first kind of information is a list of what SPI controllers exist.
+For System-on-Chip (SOC) based boards, these will usually be platform
+devices, and the controller may need some platform_data in order to
+operate properly. The "struct platform_device" will include resources
+like the physical address of the controller's first register and its IRQ.
+
+Platforms will often abstract the "register SPI controller" operation,
+maybe coupling it with code to initialize pin configurations, so that
+the arch/.../mach-*/board-*.c files for several boards can all share the
+same basic controller setup code. This is because most SOCs have several
+SPI-capable controllers, and only the ones actually usable on a given
+board should normally be set up and registered.
+
+So for example arch/.../mach-*/board-*.c files might have code like:
+
+ #include <asm/arch/spi.h> /* for mysoc_spi_data */
+
+ /* if your mach-* infrastructure doesn't support kernels that can
+ * run on multiple boards, pdata wouldn't benefit from "__init".
+ */
+ static struct mysoc_spi_data __init pdata = { ... };
+
+ static __init board_init(void)
+ {
+ ...
+ /* this board only uses SPI controller #2 */
+ mysoc_register_spi(2, &pdata);
+ ...
+ }
+
+And SOC-specific utility code might look something like:
+
+ #include <asm/arch/spi.h>
+
+ static struct platform_device spi2 = { ... };
+
+ void mysoc_register_spi(unsigned n, struct mysoc_spi_data *pdata)
+ {
+ struct mysoc_spi_data *pdata2;
+
+ pdata2 = kmalloc(sizeof *pdata2, GFP_KERNEL);
+ *pdata2 = pdata;
+ ...
+ if (n == 2) {
+ spi2->dev.platform_data = pdata2;
+ register_platform_device(&spi2);
+
+ /* also: set up pin modes so the spi2 signals are
+ * visible on the relevant pins ... bootloaders on
+ * production boards may already have done this, but
+ * developer boards will often need Linux to do it.
+ */
+ }
+ ...
+ }
+
+Notice how the platform_data for boards may be different, even if the
+same SOC controller is used. For example, on one board SPI might use
+an external clock, where another derives the SPI clock from current
+settings of some master clock.
+
+
+DECLARE SLAVE DEVICES
+
+The second kind of information is a list of what SPI slave devices exist
+on the target board, often with some board-specific data needed for the
+driver to work correctly.
+
+Normally your arch/.../mach-*/board-*.c files would provide a small table
+listing the SPI devices on each board. (This would typically be only a
+small handful.) That might look like:
+
+ static struct ads7846_platform_data ads_info = {
+ .vref_delay_usecs = 100,
+ .x_plate_ohms = 580,
+ .y_plate_ohms = 410,
+ };
+
+ static struct spi_board_info spi_board_info[] __initdata = {
+ {
+ .modalias = "ads7846",
+ .platform_data = &ads_info,
+ .mode = SPI_MODE_0,
+ .irq = GPIO_IRQ(31),
+ .max_speed_hz = 120000 /* max sample rate at 3V */ * 16,
+ .bus_num = 1,
+ .chip_select = 0,
+ },
+ };
+
+Again, notice how board-specific information is provided; each chip may need
+several types. This example shows generic constraints like the fastest SPI
+clock to allow (a function of board voltage in this case) or how an IRQ pin
+is wired, plus chip-specific constraints like an important delay that's
+changed by the capacitance at one pin.
+
+(There's also "controller_data", information that may be useful to the
+controller driver. An example would be peripheral-specific DMA tuning
+data or chipselect callbacks. This is stored in spi_device later.)
+
+The board_info should provide enough information to let the system work
+without the chip's driver being loaded. The most troublesome aspect of
+that is likely the SPI_CS_HIGH bit in the spi_device.mode field, since
+sharing a bus with a device that interprets chipselect "backwards" is
+not possible.
+
+Then your board initialization code would register that table with the SPI
+infrastructure, so that it's available later when the SPI master controller
+driver is registered:
+
+ spi_register_board_info(spi_board_info, ARRAY_SIZE(spi_board_info));
+
+Like with other static board-specific setup, you won't unregister those.
+
+
+NON-STATIC CONFIGURATIONS
+
+Developer boards often play by different rules than product boards, and one
+example is the potential need to hotplug SPI devices and/or controllers.
+
+For those cases you might need to use use spi_busnum_to_master() to look
+up the spi bus master, and will likely need spi_new_device() to provide the
+board info based on the board that was hotplugged. Of course, you'd later
+call at least spi_unregister_device() when that board is removed.
+
+
+How do I write an "SPI Protocol Driver"?
+----------------------------------------
+All SPI drivers are currently kernel drivers. A userspace driver API
+would just be another kernel driver, probably offering some lowlevel
+access through aio_read(), aio_write(), and ioctl() calls and using the
+standard userspace sysfs mechanisms to bind to a given SPI device.
+
+SPI protocol drivers are normal device drivers, with no more wrapper
+than needed by platform devices:
+
+ static struct device_driver CHIP_driver = {
+ .name = "CHIP",
+ .bus = &spi_bus_type,
+ .probe = CHIP_probe,
+ .remove = __exit_p(CHIP_remove),
+ .suspend = CHIP_suspend,
+ .resume = CHIP_resume,
+ };
+
+The SPI core will autmatically attempt to bind this driver to any SPI
+device whose board_info gave a modalias of "CHIP". Your probe() code
+might look like this unless you're creating a class_device:
+
+ static int __init CHIP_probe(struct device *dev)
+ {
+ struct spi_device *spi = to_spi_device(dev);
+ struct CHIP *chip;
+ struct CHIP_platform_data *pdata = dev->platform_data;
+
+ /* get memory for driver's per-chip state */
+ chip = kzalloc(sizeof *chip, GFP_KERNEL);
+ if (!chip)
+ return -ENOMEM;
+ dev_set_drvdata(dev, chip);
+
+ ... etc
+ return 0;
+ }
+
+As soon as it enters probe(), the driver may issue I/O requests to
+the SPI device using "struct spi_message". When remove() returns,
+the driver guarantees that it won't submit any more such messages.
+
+ - An spi_message is a sequence of of protocol operations, executed
+ as one atomic sequence. SPI driver controls include:
+
+ + when bidirectional reads and writes start ... by how its
+ sequence of spi_transfer requests is arranged;
+
+ + optionally defining short delays after transfers ... using
+ the spi_transfer.delay_usecs setting;
+
+ + whether the chipselect becomes inactive after a transfer and
+ any delay ... by using the spi_transfer.cs_change flag;
+
+ + hinting whether the next message is likely to go to this same
+ device ... using the spi_transfer.cs_change flag on the last
+ transfer in that atomic group, and potentially saving costs
+ for chip deselect and select operations.
+
+ - Follow standard kernel rules, and provide DMA-safe buffers in
+ your messages. That way controller drivers using DMA aren't forced
+ to make extra copies unless the hardware requires it (e.g. working
+ around hardware errata that force the use of bounce buffering).
+
+ If standard dma_map_single() handling of these buffers is inappropriate,
+ you can use spi_message.is_dma_mapped to tell the controller driver
+ that you've already provided the relevant DMA addresses.
+
+ - The basic I/O primitive is spi_async(). Async requests may be
+ issued in any context (irq handler, task, etc) and completion
+ is reported using a callback provided with the message.
+
+ - There are also synchronous wrappers like spi_sync(), and wrappers
+ like spi_read(), spi_write(), and spi_write_then_read(). These
+ may be issued only in contexts that may sleep, and they're all
+ clean (and small, and "optional") layers over spi_async().
+
+ - The spi_write_then_read() call, and convenience wrappers around
+ it, should only be used with small amounts of data where the
+ cost of an extra copy may be ignored. It's designed to support
+ common RPC-style requests, such as writing an eight bit command
+ and reading a sixteen bit response -- spi_w8r16() being one its
+ wrappers, doing exactly that.
+
+Some drivers may need to modify spi_device characteristics like the
+transfer mode, wordsize, or clock rate. This is done with spi_setup(),
+which would normally be called from probe() before the first I/O is
+done to the device.
+
+While "spi_device" would be the bottom boundary of the driver, the
+upper boundaries might include sysfs (especially for sensor readings),
+the input layer, ALSA, networking, MTD, the character device framework,
+or other Linux subsystems.
+
+
+How do I write an "SPI Master Controller Driver"?
+-------------------------------------------------
+An SPI controller will probably be registered on the platform_bus; write
+a driver to bind to the device, whichever bus is involved.
+
+The main task of this type of driver is to provide an "spi_master".
+Use spi_alloc_master() to allocate the master, and class_get_devdata()
+to get the driver-private data allocated for that device.
+
+ struct spi_master *master;
+ struct CONTROLLER *c;
+
+ master = spi_alloc_master(dev, sizeof *c);
+ if (!master)
+ return -ENODEV;
+
+ c = class_get_devdata(&master->cdev);
+
+The driver will initialize the fields of that spi_master, including the
+bus number (maybe the same as the platform device ID) and three methods
+used to interact with the SPI core and SPI protocol drivers. It will
+also initialize its own internal state.
+
+ master->setup(struct spi_device *spi)
+ This sets up the device clock rate, SPI mode, and word sizes.
+ Drivers may change the defaults provided by board_info, and then
+ call spi_setup(spi) to invoke this routine. It may sleep.
+
+ master->transfer(struct spi_device *spi, struct spi_message *message)
+ This must not sleep. Its responsibility is arrange that the
+ transfer happens and its complete() callback is issued; the two
+ will normally happen later, after other transfers complete.
+
+ master->cleanup(struct spi_device *spi)
+ Your controller driver may use spi_device.controller_state to hold
+ state it dynamically associates with that device. If you do that,
+ be sure to provide the cleanup() method to free that state.
+
+The bulk of the driver will be managing the I/O queue fed by transfer().
+
+That queue could be purely conceptual. For example, a driver used only
+for low-frequency sensor acess might be fine using synchronous PIO.
+
+But the queue will probably be very real, using message->queue, PIO,
+often DMA (especially if the root filesystem is in SPI flash), and
+execution contexts like IRQ handlers, tasklets, or workqueues (such
+as keventd). Your driver can be as fancy, or as simple, as you need.
