49dce689ad spi doesn't need class_device
Make the SPI framework and drivers stop using class_device.  Update docs
accordingly ...  highlighting just which sysfs paths should be
"safe"/stable.

c06e677aed SPI: add 3wire mode flag
Add a new spi->mode bit: SPI_3WIRE, for chips where the SI and SO signals
are shared (and which are thus only half duplex).  Update the LM70 driver
to require support for that hardware mode from the controller.

f5a9c77df4 spi doc updates
Update two points in the SPI interface documentation:

- Update description of the "chip stays selected after message ends"
  mode.  In some cases it's required for correctness; it isn't just a
  performance tweak.  (Yes: to use this mode on mult-device busses, another
  programming interface will be needed.  One draft has been circulated
  already.)

- Clarify spi_setup(), highlighting that callers must ensure that no
  requests are queued (can't change configuration except between I/Os), and
  that the device must be deselected when this returns (which is a key part
  of why it's called during device init).

802245611a [PATCH] SPI doc clarifications
This clarifies some aspects of the SPI programming interface, based on
feedback from Hans-Peter Nilsson.  The in-memory representation of words is
right-aligned, so for example a twelve bit word is stored using sixteen bits
with four undefined bits in the MSB.  And controller drivers must reject
protocol tweaking modes they do not support.

0ffa028505 [PATCH] SPI cleanup() method param becomes non-const
I'd like to assign NULL to kfree()d members of a structure.  I can't do
that without ugly casting (see the PXA patch) when the structure pointed to
is const-qualified.  I don't really see a reason why the cleanup method
isn't allowed to alter the object it should clean up.  :-)

No, I didn't test the PXA patch, but I verified that the NULL-assignment
doesn't stop me from doing rmmod/insmodding my own spi_bitbang-based
driver.

4b1badf5d9 [PATCH] SPI: define null tx_buf to mean "shift out zeroes"
Some issues were recently turned up with the current specification of what
it means for spi_transfer.tx_buf to be null, as part of transfers which are
(from the SPI protocol driver perspective) pure reads.

Specifically, that it seems better to change the TX behaviour there from
"undefined" to "will shift zeroes".  This lets protocol drivers (like the
ads7846 driver) depend on that behavior.  It's what most controller drivers
in the tree are already doing (with one exception and one case of driver
wanting-to-oops), it's what Microwire hardware will necessarily be doing,
and it removes an issue whereby certain security audits would need to
define such a value anyway as part of removing covert channels.

This patch changes the specification to require shifting zeroes, and
updates all currently merged SPI controller drivers to do so.

980a01c9bf [PATCH] SPI: infrastructure to initialize spi_device.mode early
This patch adds earlier initialization of spi_device.mode, as needed
on boards using nondefault chipselect polarity.  An example would be
ones using the RS5C348 RTC without an external signal inverter between
the RTC chipselect and the SPI controller.

Without this mechanism, the first setup() call for that chip would
wrongly enable chips, corrupting transfers to/from other chips sharing
that SPI bus.

a020ed7521 [PATCH] SPI: busnum == 0 needs to work
We need to be able to have a "SPI bus 0" matching chip numbering; but
that number was wrongly used to flag dynamic allocation of a bus number.

This patch resolves that issue; now negative numbers trigger dynamic alloc.

4cff33f94f [PATCH] SPI: per-transfer overrides for wordsize and clocking
Some protocols (like one for some bitmap displays) require different clock
speed or word size settings for each transfer in an SPI message. This adds
those parameters to struct spi_transfer.  They are to be used when they are
nonzero; otherwise the defaults from spi_device are to be used.

The patch also adds a setup_transfer callback to spi_bitbang, uses it for
messages that use those overrides, and implements it so that the pure
bitbanging code can help resolve any questions about how it should work.

0c868461fc [PATCH] SPI core tweaks, bugfix
This includes various updates to the SPI core:

  - Fixes a driver model refcount bug in spi_unregister_master() paths.

  - The spi_master structures now have wrappers which help keep drivers
    from needing class-level get/put for device data or for refcounts.

  - Check for a few setup errors that would cause oopsing later.

  - Docs say more about memory management.  Highlights the use of DMA-safe
    i/o buffers, and zero-initializing spi_message and such metadata.

  - Provide a simple alloc/free for spi_message and its spi_transfer;
    this is only one of the possible memory management policies.

Nothing to break code that already works.

b885244eb2 [PATCH] spi: add spi_driver to SPI framework
This is a refresh of the "Simple SPI Framework" found in 2.6.15-rc3-mm1
which makes the following changes:

  * There's now a "struct spi_driver".  This increase the footprint
    of the core a bit, since it now includes code to do what the driver
    core was previously handling directly.  Documentation and comments
    were updated to match.

  * spi_alloc_master() now does class_device_initialize(), so it can
    at least be refcounted before spi_register_master().  To match,
    spi_register_master() switched over to class_device_add().

  * States explicitly that after transfer errors, spi_devices will be
    deselected.  We want fault recovery procedures to work the same
    for all controller drivers.

  * Minor tweaks:  controller_data no longer points to readonly data;
    prevent some potential cast-from-null bugs with container_of calls;
    clarifies some existing kerneldoc,

And a few small cleanups.

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.

From: Mark Underwood <basicmark@yahoo.com>

  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.
