From 120af1572a3647bb87eff2f62dd8f8a919ee71f0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rajeshwari Shinde Date: Tue, 8 Oct 2013 16:20:05 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] spi: exynos: Minimise access to SPI FIFO level Accessing SPI registers is slow, but access to the FIFO level register in particular seems to be extraordinarily expensive (I measure up to 600ns). Perhaps it is required to synchronise with the SPI byte output logic which might run at 1/8th of the 40MHz SPI speed (just a guess). Reduce access to this register by filling up and emptying FIFOs more completely, rather than just one word each time around the inner loop. Since the rxfifo value will now likely be much greater that what we read before we fill the txfifo, we only fill the txfifo halfway. This is because if the txfifo is empty, but the rxfifo has data in it, then writing too much data to the txfifo may overflow the rxfifo as data arrives. This speeds up SPI flash reading from about 1MB/s to about 2MB/s on snow.
