Argghh.. I am such a Newbie ;-) I originally sent this as “HTML” which of course was rejected by many of the recipients....

Subject: RE: SPI fix needed in kernel (DragonBoard 410c)
Adding the maintainers as generated by ./scripts/get_maintainers.pl
Hi Sagar:
I have been using SPI on the Dragonboard 410c and found some issues. Specifically Hardware Chip Select is not working on the Debian kernel from Linaro (Build #202). It turns out that the SPI_IO_C_MX_CS_MODE bit in the SPI_IO_CONTROL register needs to be set. My 'patch' is very simplistic, and I certainly haven't tested it against all cases of DMA/non-DMA and various transfer lengths, but it does fix my one case.
First I changed only the dtsi files to enable a spidev driver with hardware chip select (and set the drive strength correctly):

Here is what my 3-byte transactions end up looking like (Yellow - Clock, Green – Data Out, Magenta- Chip Select) :
As you can see the chip select is going high between each byte of data. This violates the SPI protocol and I am unable to transfer data from the device.
Next I changed the SPI driver:
diff --git a/drivers/spi/spi-qup.c b/drivers/spi/spi-qup.c

ret = devm_request_irq(dev, irq, spi_qup_qup_irq,

This sets the SPI_IO_C_MX_MODE bit in the SPI_IO_CONTROL register. Once this is done the SPI transactions look like this:
As you can see the Chip Select stays low for the entire transaction and the device successfully transfers data.
I have NOT tested this change very carefully and I have not covered all of the possible cases (different processors, DMA vs non-DMA, etc). This ‘patch’ is only known to work with MSM8916/APQ8016, and only with 3-byte transfers at 100kHz.

Looking at the spi_qsd.c in 3.18, there is a pretty complex dance involved with deciding whether or not to set the MX_CS. Probably because of the weird transfer coalescing they do.
In addition, they are doing a FORCE_CS when the spi core calls set_cs.

The spi_qup_io_config() is run every time there is a spi transaction.
It is called from spi_qup_transfer_one().

I presume no one sent a patch to the mailing list for this. If you do, please CC linux-msm. But due to the details above, it might be a good idea to ask someone in Boulder about all the different states where you need some flags set and others not set if you want to use auto chip select. Sagar Dharia might be a good starting point.

Andy
