[U-Boot] [PATCH v2 0/15] Enhance SPI/SPI flash probing, add support for Intel ICH controller

[Simon Glass]

Adding new fields to struct spi_slave and struct spi_flash is painful,
because most drivers don't zero the fields they don't use. Anyway it
seems better to have the SPI/SPI flash infrastructure provide a simple
way of doing this that all drivers can use.

So the first part of this series adds spi_alloc_slave(), for SPI, and
spi_flash_alloc() for SPI flash.

Support is added for the Intel ICH SPI controller, possibly the oddest
SPI controller in U-Boot. It is designed for use with SPI flash only,
and has a number of high-level features which are dedicated to flash.
As such it is a bit of a challenge to get it to behave just like a
normal U-Boot SPI device.

The ICH driver has two interesting features. Firstly it is impossible
to read or write more than 64 bytes at a time! For SPI reading it is
possible to hide this within the SPI driver. For SPI writing it
unfortunately isn't, since the spi_flash layer has to send an unlock
command and a new address for every write. It would be an egregious
hack to try to fake this in the driver. So a new property is added
to spi_flash to allow the maximum transfer size to be set.

Secondly, the ICH SPI flash can be memory mapped. On a lot of x86
devices this improves performance significantly. For example, the standard
driver gets maybe 12Mbps throughput from a 33Mbps dual interface, roughly
20% utilisation. With memory mapping, many platforms can achieve about
40Mbps. To implement memory mapping, a new property is provided in the
device tree to set the memory map address, which varies by platform. Some
x86 platforms will see a speed increase with memory mapping, some won't.
The memory mapping feature only works for reading. When in use, the
spi_flash layer bypasses the SPI driver completely, and just copies the
flash data from the correct place in the memory map.

Changes in v2:
- Use spi_alloc_slave() in bfin_spi6xx.c
- Use spi_alloc_slave() in exynos_spi.c
- Support both 33MHz and 20MHz operation in ich driver
- Replace while() loop with memcpy_to/fromio() in ich driver
- Enable gettime command for coreboot also
- Add new patch to use unsigned type for buffers in 'sf test'
