spi: imx: use 'time_left' variable with wait_for_completion_timeout()

There is a confusing pattern in the kernel to use a variable named 'timeout' to
store the result of wait_for_completion_timeout() causing patterns like:

timeout = wait_for_completion_timeout(...)
if (!timeout) return -ETIMEDOUT;

with all kinds of permutations. Use 'time_left' as a variable to make the code
self explaining.

c712c05e46c8 ("spi: imx: fix the burst length at DMA mode and CPU mode")
corrects three cases of setting the ECSPI burst length but erroneously
leaves the in-range CPU case one bit to big (in that field a value of
0 means 1 bit). The effect was that transmissions that should have been
8-bit bytes appeared as 9-bit causing failed communication with SPI
devices.

spi: imx: fix the burst length at DMA mode and CPU mode

For DMA mode, the bus width of the DMA is equal to the size of data
word, so burst length should be configured as bits per word.

For CPU mode, because of the spi transfer len is in byte, so calculate
the total number of words according to spi transfer len and bits per
word, burst length should be configured as total data bits.

spi: spi-imx: fix mixing of native and gpio chipselects for imx51/imx53/imx6 variants

Commit 87c614175bbf (spi: spi-imx: fix MX51_ECSPI_* macros when cs >
3) ensured that the argument passed to the macros was masked with &3,
so that we no longer write outside the intended fields in the various
control registers. When all chip selects are gpios, this works just
fine.

However, when a mix of native and gpio chip selects are in use, that
masking is too naive. Say, for example, that SS0 is muxed as native
chip select, and there is also a chip at 4 (obviously with a gpio
cs). In that case, when accessing the latter chip, both the SS0 pin
and the gpio pin will be asserted low.

The fix for this is to use the ->unused_native_cs value as channel
number for any spi device which uses a gpio as chip select.

When using gpio based chip select the cs value can go outside the range

resulting in possible corruption of the configuration.

For example for any cs value over 3 the SCLKPHA bits would not be set and
other values in the register possibly corrupted.

One way to fix this is to just mask the cs bits to 2 bits. This still
allows all 4 native chip selects to work as well as gpio chip selects
(which can use any of the 4 chip select configurations).

spi: imx: Convert to platform remove callback returning void

The .remove() callback for a platform driver returns an int which makes
many driver authors wrongly assume it's possible to do error handling by
returning an error code. However the value returned is (mostly) ignored
and this typically results in resource leaks. To improve here there is a
quest to make the remove callback return void. In the first step of this
quest all drivers are converted to .remove_new() which already returns
void.

Trivially convert this driver from always returning zero in the remove
callback to the void returning variant.

spi: Replace all spi->chip_select and spi->cs_gpiod references with function call

Supporting multi-cs in spi drivers would require the chip_select & cs_gpiod
members of struct spi_device to be an array. But changing the type of these

transition smoother introduced four new APIs to get/set the

While adding multi-cs support in further patches the chip_select & cs_gpiod
members of the spi_device structure would be converted to arrays & the
"idx" parameter of the APIs would be used as array index i.e.,
spi->chip_select[idx] & spi->cs_gpiod[idx] respectively.

spi: spi-imx: spi_imx_transfer_one(): check for DMA transfer first

The SPI framework checks for each transfer (with the struct
spi_controller::can_dma callback) whether the driver wants to use DMA
for the transfer. If the driver returns true, the SPI framework will
map the transfer's data to the device, start the actual transfer and
map the data back.

In commit 07e759387788 ("spi: spi-imx: add PIO polling support") the
spi-imx driver's spi_imx_transfer_one() function was extended. If the
estimated duration of a transfer does not exceed a configurable
duration, a polling transfer function is used. This check happens
before checking if the driver decided earlier for a DMA transfer.

If spi_imx_can_dma() decided to use a DMA transfer, and the user
configured a big maximum polling duration, a polling transfer will be
used. The DMA unmap after the transfer destroys the transferred data.

To fix this problem check in spi_imx_transfer_one() if the driver
decided for DMA transfer first, then check the limits for a polling
transfer.

spi: spi-imx: Fix spi_bus_clk if requested clock is higher than input clock

In case the requested bus clock is higher than the input clock, the correct
dividers (pre = 0, post = 0) are returned from mx51_ecspi_clkdiv(), but
*fres is left uninitialized and therefore contains an arbitrary value.

This causes trouble for the recently introduced PIO polling feature as the
value in spi_imx->spi_bus_clk is used there to calculate for which
transfers to enable PIO polling.

Fix this by setting *fres even if no clock dividers are in use.

This issue was observed on Kontron BL i.MX8MM with an SPI peripheral clock set
to 50 MHz by default and a requested SPI bus clock of 80 MHz for the SPI NOR
flash.

With the fix applied the debug message from mx51_ecspi_clkdiv() now prints the

spi: spi-imx: mx51_ecspi_prepare_message(): skip writing MX51_ECSPI_CONFIG register if unchanged

In mx51_ecspi_prepare_message() the MX51_ECSPI_CONFIG register is
setup for the current spi_message.

spi: spi-imx: mx51_ecspi_prepare_message(): skip writing MX51_ECSPI_CONFIG register if unchanged

In mx51_ecspi_prepare_message() the MX51_ECSPI_CONFIG register is
setup for the current spi_message. After writing the register, there
is a delay to ensure that the changes hit the hardware.

This patch checks if the register MX51_ECSPI_CONFIG actually needs to
be changed. If the register content is unchanged the function is left
early, skipping the write to the hardware and the delay. This leads to
a small, but measurable performance increase. For a given workload
with small transfers on an imx6 single core the CPU load decreases
from 30% to ~27%.

spi: spi-imx: add PIO polling support

The driver supports several modes, one of them is PIO/IRQ
"spi_imx_pio_transfer()". The data is exchanged with the IP core using
PIO, an IRQ is setup to signal empty/full FIFOs and the end of the
transfer. The IRQ and scheduling overhead for short transfers is
significant. Using polling instead of IRQs can be beneficial to reduce
the overall CPU load, especially on small transfer workloads.

On an imx6 single core, a given RX workload of the mcp251xfd driver
results in 40% CPU load. Using polling mode reduces the CPU load to
30%.

This patch adds PIO polling support to the driver. For transfers with
a duration of less than 30 µs the polling mode instead of IRQ based
PIO mode is used. 30 µs seems to be a good compromise, which is used
the by the SPI drivers for the raspberry Pi (spi-bcm2835,
spi-bcm2835), too.

spi: spi-imx: replace struct spi_imx_data::bitbang by pointer to struct spi_controller

There's no need to embed the struct spi_bitbang into our private
data (struct spi_imx_data), the spi core is flexible enough, so that
we only need a pointer to the allocated struct spi_controller.

This is also a preparation patch to add PIO based polling support to
the driver.
