From: Martin Sperl Date: Sun, 29 Mar 2015 14:03:25 +0000 (+0200) Subject: spi: bcm2835: fill FIFO before enabling interrupts to reduce interrupts/message X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=e3a2be3030e2;p=linux-beck.git spi: bcm2835: fill FIFO before enabling interrupts to reduce interrupts/message To reduce the number of interrupts/message we fill the FIFO before enabling interrupts - for short messages this reduces the interrupt count from 2 to 1 interrupt. There have been rare cases where short (<200ns) chip-select switches with native CS have been observed during such operation, this is why this optimization is only enabled for GPIO-CS.
