This collects some small SPI patches that seem to be missing from the MM tree: - spi_butterfly kbuild hooks got dropped somehow; this restores them - quick fix for a (theoretical?) m25p80_write() oops noted by Andrew - quick fix for a potential config-specific oops for mtd_dataflash() - minor doc tweaks Signed-off-by: David Brownell <dbrownell@users.sourceforge.net> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

The "Serial Peripheral Interface" is a low level synchronous
|
|
protocol. Chips that support SPI can have data transfer rates
|
|
up to several tens of Mbit/sec. Chips are addressed with a
|
|
controller and a chipselect. Most SPI slaves don't support
|
|
dynamic device discovery; some are even write-only or read-only.
|
|
|
|
SPI is widely used by microcontollers to talk with sensors,
|
|
eeprom and flash memory, codecs and various other controller
|
|
chips, analog to digital (and d-to-a) converters, and more.
|
|
MMC and SD cards can be accessed using SPI protocol; and for
|
|
DataFlash cards used in MMC sockets, SPI must always be used.
|
|
|
|
SPI is one of a family of similar protocols using a four wire
|
|
interface (select, clock, data in, data out) including Microwire
|
|
(half duplex), SSP, SSI, and PSP. This driver framework should
|
|
work with most such devices and controllers.

sysfs, and debugfs support in SPI controller and protocol drivers.

If your system has an master-capable SPI controller (which
|
|
provides the clock and chipselect), you can enable that
|
|
controller and the protocol drivers for the SPI slave chips
|
|
that are connected.

With a few GPIO pins, your system can bitbang the SPI protocol.
|
|
Select this to get SPI support through I/O pins (GPIO, parallel
|
|
port, etc). Or, some systems' SPI master controller drivers use
|
|
this code to manage the per-word or per-transfer accesses to the
|
|
hardware shift registers.
|
|
|
|
This is library code, and is automatically selected by drivers that
|
|
need it. You only need to select this explicitly to support driver
|
|
modules that aren't part of this kernel tree.

This uses a custom parallel port cable to connect to an AVR
|
|
Butterfly <http://www.atmel.com/products/avr/butterfly>, an
|
|
inexpensive battery powered microcontroller evaluation board.
|
|
This same cable can be used to flash new firmware.
