22 };
23
25 dev
26 device interface to this driver
27
28 bus_num
29 board-specific (and often SOC-specific) identifier for a given SPI
30 controller.
31
32 num_chipselect
33 chipselects are used to distinguish individual SPI slaves, and are
34 numbered from zero to num_chipselects. each slave has a chipselect
35 signal, but it´s common that not every chipselect is connected to a
36 slave.
37
38 dma_alignment
39 SPI controller constraint on DMA buffers alignment.
40
41 mode_bits
42 flags understood by this controller driver
43
44 flags
45 other constraints relevant to this driver
46
47 setup
48 updates the device mode and clocking records used by a device´s SPI
49 controller; protocol code may call this. This must fail if an
50 unrecognized or unsupported mode is requested. It´s always safe to
51 call this unless transfers are pending on the device whose settings
52 are being modified.
53
54 transfer
55 adds a message to the controller´s transfer queue.
56
57 cleanup
58 frees controller-specific state
59
61 Each SPI master controller can communicate with one or more spi_device
62 children. These make a small bus, sharing MOSI, MISO and SCK signals
63 but not chip select signals. Each device may be configured to use a
64 different clock rate, since those shared signals are ignored unless the
65 chip is selected.
66
67 The driver for an SPI controller manages access to those devices
68 through a queue of spi_message transactions, copying data between CPU
69 memory and an SPI slave device. For each such message it queues, it
70 calls the message´s completion function when the transaction completes.
