Hi

Is this also related to the regression with d5898e19c0d7 ("spi: pxa2xx: Use core message processing loop") you have found or another issue?

Comments below.

The pxa_ssp_type is LPSS_BXT_SSP in our case.

With more debug we find that it's related to restart the SPP
during pxa2xx_spi_transfer_one().

In the normal case the spi_transfer_one_message() calls spi-pxa2xx
cs_assert before transferring one message. After completing the
transfer it calls spi-pxa2xx cs_deassert. The spi-pxa2xx works
well.

But in some other case pxa2xx_spi_unprepare_transfer() is called
that clears SSCR0_SSE bit before the next transfer. In the next
transfer the spi-pxa2xx driver will restart the SSP as the SSE
bit is cleared. The cs_assert before the SSP restart can't ensure
spi-pxa2xx work well.

The patch is to do cs again if spi-pxa2xx restar the SSP during
pxa2xx_spi_transfer_one()

Hmm.. please correct me if I'm wrong but pxa2xx_spi_unprepare_transfer() is called always when there is no more messages pending and the spi core should have deasserted the CS already?

I think code comes here at the beginning of each transfer so will be hit multiple times before pxa2xx_spi_unprepare_transfer() if SPI message consists of multiple transfers.

This makes me wondering if the device driver setting up the "struct spi_transfer" is maybe missing the cs_change flag set for transfers before last one in case HW needs CS toggling between transfers? For instance what following drivers are doing with the cs_change flag:

drivers/char/tpm/tpm_tis_spi.c: tpm_tis_spi_transfer()
drivers/input/touchscreen/ad7877.c: ad7877_read(), ad7877_read_adc()
