Subject: [PATCH 00/18] spi/xilinx: Speed-up
Date: Fri, 23 Jan 2015 17:08:32 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1422029330-10971-1-git-send-email-ricardo.ribalda@gmail.com> (raw)

This set of patches has been developed after using the core to access a spi
nor flash. The initial performance was not as desired. The following changes
have been done.

-This series of patches add driver support for hardware implemented modes:
LSB_FIRS, LOOP and CS_HIGH.

-There is support for irq less operations.

-The buffer size of the core is detected at probe time, speeding up the
operations.

-Code has been simplify and cleaned

This are the results, before and after the patchet

IRQS: ZERO

This set of patches supersedes the previous patchet with only LSB_FIRST and LOOP
