This patch creates set_cs_timing SPI master optional method for
SPI masters to implement configuring CS timing if applicable.

This patch also creates spi_cs_timing accessory for SPI clients to
use for requesting SPI master controllers to configure device requested
CS setup time, hold time and inactive delay.

Geert points out that I confused the min/max arguments that are
reversed between SPI_BPW_RANGE_MASK() and GENMASK(). This time
I have verified the result of the macro after fixing the arguments.

Clang-8 evaluates both sides of a ?: expression to check for
valid arithmetic even in the side that is never taken. This
results in a build warning:

drivers/spi/spi-sh-msiof.c:1052:24: error: shift count &gt;= width of type [-Werror,-Wshift-count-overflow]
        .bits_per_word_mask = SPI_BPW_RANGE_MASK(8, 32),
                              ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Change the implementation to use the GENMASK() macro that does
what we want here but does not have a problem with the shift
count overflow.

<title>spi: support inter-word delay requirement for devices</title>

<id>urn:sha1:b7bb367afa4bf9de60830683305c63030c3e581d</id>

Some devices are slow and cannot keep up with the SPI bus and therefore
require a short delay between words of the SPI transfer.

The example of this that I'm looking at is a SAMA5D2 with a minimum SPI
clock of 400kHz talking to an AVR-based SPI slave.  The AVR cannot put
bytes on the bus fast enough to keep up with the SoC's SPI controller
even at the lowest bus speed.

This patch introduces the ability to specify a required inter-word
delay for SPI devices.  It is up to the controller driver to configure
itself accordingly in order to introduce the requested delay.

Note that, for spi_transfer, there is already a field word_delay that
provides similar functionality.  This field, however, is specified in
clock cycles (and worse, SPI controller cycles, not SCK cycles); that
makes this value dependent on the master clock instead of the device
clock for which the delay is intended to provide some relief.  This
patch leaves this old word_delay in place and provides a time-based
word_delay_us alongside it; the new field fits in the struct padding
so struct size is constant.  There is only one in-kernel user of the
word_delay field and presumably that driver could be reworked to use
the time-based value instead.

The time-based delay is limited to 8 bits as these delays are intended
to be short.  The SAMA5D2 that I've tested this on limits delays to a
maximum of ~100us, which is already many word-transfer periods even at
the minimum transfer speed supported by the controller.

Commit 412e6037324 ("spi: core: avoid waking pump thread from spi_sync
instead run teardown delayed") introduced regressions on some boards,
apparently connected to spi_mem not triggering shutdown properly any
more.  Since we've thus far been unable to figure out exactly where the
breakage is revert the optimisation for now.

<id>urn:sha1:412e60373245fd1dfae8d4d44c5d1406b3d90971</id>
<content type='text'>
When spi_sync is running alone with no other spi devices connected
to the bus the worker thread is woken during spi_finalize_current_message
to run the teardown code every time.

This is totally unnecessary in the case that there is no message queued.

On a multi-core system this results in one wakeup of the thread for each
spi_message processed via spi_sync where in most cases the teardown does
not happen as the hw is already in use.

This patch now delays the teardown by 1 second by using a separate
kthread_delayed_work for the teardown.

This avoids waking the kthread too often.

For spi_sync transfers in a tight loop (say 40k messages/s) this
avoids the penalty of waking the worker thread 40k times/s.
On a rasperry pi 3 with 4 cores the results in 32% of a single core
only to find out that there is nothing in the queue and it can go back
to sleep.

With this patch applied the spi-worker is woken exactly once: after
the load finishes and the spi bus is idle for 1 second.

I believe I have also seen situations where during a spi_sync loop
the worker thread (triggered by the last message finished) is slightly
faster and _wins_ the race to process the message, so we are actually
running the kthread and letting it do some work...

This is also no longer observed with this patch applied as.

Tested with a new CAN controller driver for the mcp2517fd which
uses spi_sync for interrupt handling and spi_async for scheduling
of can frames for transmission (in a different thread)

Some statistics when receiving 100000 CAN frames with the mcp25xxfd driver
on a Raspberry pi 3:

top shows 91% for the mcp25xxfd interrupt handler, 0% for spi0

So we see that spi0 is no longer getting scheduled wasting CPU cycles
There are a lot less context switches and corresponding Rescheduling interrupts
All of these show that this improves efficiency of the system and reduces
CPU utilization.

<title>spi: Optionally use GPIO descriptors for CS GPIOs</title>

<id>urn:sha1:f3186dd876697e696d07136623d5cf0a6fb0bc0f</id>

This augments the SPI core to optionally use GPIO descriptors
for chip select on a per-master-driver opt-in basis.

Drivers using this will rely on the SPI core to look up
GPIO descriptors associated with the device, such as
when using device tree or board files with GPIO descriptor
tables.

When getting descriptors from the device tree, this will in
turn activate the code in gpiolib that was
added in commit 6953c57ab172
("gpio: of: Handle SPI chipselect legacy bindings")
which means that these descriptors are aware of the active
low semantics that is the default for SPI CS GPIO lines
and we can assume that all of these are "active high" and
thus assign SPI_CS_HIGH to all CS lines on the DT path.

The previously used gpio_set_value() would call down into
gpiod_set_raw_value() and ignore the polarity inversion
semantics.

It seems like many drivers go to great lengths to set up the
CS GPIO line as non-asserted, respecting SPI_CS_HIGH. We pull
this out of the SPI drivers and into the core, and by simply
requesting the line as GPIOD_OUT_LOW when retrieveing it from
the device and relying on the gpiolib to handle any inversion
semantics. This way a lot of code can be simplified and
removed in each converted driver.

The end goal after dealing with each driver in turn, is to
delete the non-descriptor path (of_spi_register_master() for
example) and let the core deal with only descriptors.

The different SPI drivers have complex interactions with the
core so we cannot simply change them all over, we need to use
a stepwise, bisectable approach so that each driver can be
converted and fixed in isolation.

This patch has the intended side effect of adding support for
ACPI GPIOs as it starts relying on gpiod_get_*() to get
the GPIO handle associated with the device.

Add flags for Octal mode I/O data transfer
Required for the SPI controller which can do the data transfer (TX/RX)
on 8 data lines e.g. NXP FlexSPI controller.
 SPI_TX_OCTAL: transmit with 8 wires
 SPI_RX_OCTAL: receive with 8 wires
