[PATCH v3 2/3] spi: omap2-mcspi: Add support for MULTI-mode

From: Louis Chauvet
Date: Wed Mar 27 2024 - 04:44:21 EST


Introduce support for MULTI-mode in the OMAP2 MCSPI driver. Currently, the
driver always uses SINGLE mode to handle the chip select (CS). With this
enhancement, MULTI-mode is enabled for specific messages, allowing for a
shorter delay between CS enable and the message (some FPGA devices are
sensitive to this delay).

The OMAP2 MCSPI device can use two different mode to send messages, SINGLE
and MULTI:
In SINGLE mode, the controller only leverages one single FIFO, and the
host system has to manually select the CS it wants to enable.
In MULTI mode, each CS is bound to a FIFO, the host system then writes the
data to the relevant FIFO, as the hardware will take care of the CS

The drawback of multi-mode is that it's not possible to keep the CS
enabled between each words. Therefore, this patch enables multi-mode only
for specific messages: the spi_message must contain only spi_transfer of 1
word (of any size) with cs_change enabled.

A new member is introduced in the omap2_mcspi structure to keep track of
the current used mode.
