Hi All,

I have a SPI device problem on MRST CDK.

I use a GPIO as SS because my slave device expects the SS to be low between
byte transfers.
My probe function does a read as:

int read_val;
-------
---
read_val = spi_w8r8(&spi_dev,0x20);
 if ( read_val < 0 )
printk ( "spi_read err\n");
else
 printk ( "spi_read %d\n",read_val );
----
--

The MRST SFI interface passes the device board info. Because, my device is
not listed in the IA32 f/w I modified the MRST.c code sfi_handle_spi_dev
function as:

while(dev->name[0])
{
                if (dev->type == SFI_DEV_TYPE_SPI &&
                                !strncmp(dev->name, spi_info->modalias, 16))
{
                        if (!strncmp("spi_old_device", spi_info->modalias,
16)){
                                strncpy (spi_info->modalias,
"spi_my_dev",16);
                                pdata = dev->get_platform_data(spi_info);
                                pr_info ( "spi_old_device modalias to
spi_my_dev ");
                        }
                       else
                       {
                             pdata = dev->get_platform_data(spi_info);
                       }
                      break;
                }
          dev++;
}

i also modified the devs_id array to change the platform_data

 {"spi_old_dev", SFI_DEV_TYPE_SPI, 0, &no_platform_data}

The issue is  that for the spi_w8r8 call, i get multiple read (multiple * (8
clock cycles/SS toggle))on the SPI bus.

Also regarding the spi->irq, is it the responsibility of the protocol driver
to register for this irq and handle it or does the spi framework or master
driver take care of this ?

Any pointers would be really helpful. ( attached is the test code)

Regards,
Tom
