Subject: RE: [tpmdd-devel] [PATCH 1/1] TPM: STMicroelectronics st33 driver
SPI
Hi Peter,
Thanks for your feedback.
You are right, this function looks like the spi_sync_transfer;
So, I will use it in the next version of the driver.
Regarding the while loop, I don't see how can I check the number of dummy byte differently?
For the module error, Yes I have modified the patch file :s, apparently I haven't correctly modified the number of lines
Finaly, These sparse warning are finaly fix ;).
Best regards,
Mathias Leblanc

Hi Matthias,

This looks extremely like the predefined spi_sync_transfer in include/linux/spi.h
/**
* spi_sync_transfer - synchronous SPI data transfer
* @spi: device with which data will be exchanged
* @xfers: An array of spi_transfers
* @num_xfers: Number of items in the xfer array
* Context: can sleep
*
* Does a synchronous SPI data transfer of the given spi_transfer array.
*
* For more specific semantics see spi_sync().
*
* It returns zero on success, else a negative error code.
*/
static inline int
spi_sync_transfer(struct spi_device *spi, struct spi_transfer *xfers,
unsigned int num_xfers)
{
struct spi_message msg;
spi_message_init_with_transfers(&msg, xfers, num_xfers);
return spi_sync(spi, &msg);
}
where spi_message_init_with_transfers is defined as
static inline void
spi_message_init_with_transfers(struct spi_message *m,
struct spi_transfer *xfers, unsigned int num_xfers)
{
unsigned int i;
spi_message_init(m);
for (i = 0; i < num_xfers; ++i)
spi_message_add_tail(&xfers[i], m);
}
If you combine these functions you end up (more or less) with your implementation
So please use spi_sync_transfer
OR as an alternative use spi_write / spi_read as an alternative as mentioned in a previous email
And here is a rather subjective remark:

Not sure if it would be easier to read using a while and putting the increment
into the loop body
>+ while (nbr_dummy_bytes < total_length &&
>+ ((u8 *)xfer.rx_buf)[nbr_dummy_bytes] == 0)
>+ nbr_dummy_bytes++;
I usually don't like empty loop bodies, as they tend to be overlooked.

Something is strange here - if I apply your patch, the module license gets lost - so I get a compile warning:
WARNING: modpost: missing MODULE_LICENSE() in /data/data-old/linux-2.6/drivers/char/tpm/tpm_spi_stm_st33.o
Do you edit the patch by hand before sending?
Steps to reproduce:
drivers/char/tpm $ git reset --hard tpmdd/tpmdd-04-26-13
HEAD is now at d224213 tpm_tis: missing platform_driver_unregister() on error in init_tis()
drivers/char/tpm $ git am /tmp/\[tpmdd-devel\]\ \[PATCH\ 1_1\]\ TPM_STMicroelectronics\ st33\ driver\ SPI.mbox
Applying: TPM: STMicroelectronics st33 driver SPI
drivers/char/tpm $ tail tpm_spi_stm_st33.c },
.probe = tpm_st33_spi_probe,
.remove = tpm_st33_spi_remove,
};
module_spi_driver(tpm_st33_spi_driver);
MODULE_AUTHOR("Christophe Ricard (tpmsupport@...com)");
MODULE_DESCRIPTION("STM TPM SPI ST33 Driver");
MODULE_VERSION("1.2.0");
And the usual sparse warnings ;)
