I took a different approach to testing this patch. Try
the world's most common SPI device, namely a (micro)SD
card. There are a few issues.
The mmc_spi driver isn't very DT friendly. I added some
DT SPI attributes, patch attached. In my case cd-inverted
was needed.
Also I ran into a boot sequence problem since my hardware
boots of a microSD card using the MCI interface. I was
using a second microSD for SPI testing. at91bootstrap
and u-boot (plus the kernel image) are on my MCI microSD
card and they got the kernel booting. However since the
kernel probes SPI before MCI, then by the time of the rootfs
remount, my SPI microSD card had overtaken the /dev/mmcblk0
device node leading to some confusion.
There are several ways of coping with this problem and I
took an easy one: making mmc_spi a module. Just wondering
if there are any DT mechanisms to cope with these "order
of probing" type problems?
And data transfers to and from that microSD card using SPI
were slow, as in 200 kB/sec (should be closer to 1 MB/sec).
So Atmel, when are we getting DMA working for the AT91SAM9x5
family?
