Why is this defined for slaves? Surely the size of the FIFO in the
controller is a property of the controller not the slave?

According to OMAP TRM [1] the FIFO buffer can be used by only one channel at a time. If several channels are selected and several FIFO enable bit fields are set to 1, the controller forces the buffer not to be used.

If there are several slaves on the controller we must select which of slaves will use the FIFO for SPI transfers. Also, optimal FIFO size is heavily dependent of the SPI transfers length specific for certain slave.

This isn't legible. Use a switch statement, or better yet just divide.

+ mcspi->fifo_depth) - 1;

+ mcspi_write_reg(master, OMAP2_MCSPI_XFERLEVEL,
+ ((wcnt << 16) | (level << (is_read ? 8 : 0))));
+
+ chconf |= is_read ? OMAP2_MCSPI_CHCONF_FFER :
+ OMAP2_MCSPI_CHCONF_FFET;

Please avoid such extensive use of the ternery operator, it's not good
for legibility.

+ mcspi->fifo_depth = 0;
+ chconf &= ~(is_read ? OMAP2_MCSPI_CHCONF_FFER :
+ OMAP2_MCSPI_CHCONF_FFET);
+ }
+
+ mcspi_write_chconf0(spi, chconf);

We have a bunch of return statements further up the function in cases
where the FIFO can't be used which means that if we're in FIFO mode then
hit one of those we'll not disable FIFO mode as far as I can tell?


I will rework this in the next patch version.
