If we get a timeout sending then this happens: spi_transfer_one_message() ->transfer_one() AKA spi_geni_transfer_one() setup_fifo_xfer() mas->cur_xfer = non-NULL spi_transfer_wait() => TIMES OUT if (msg->status != -EINPROGRESS) goto out if (ret != 0 ...) spi_set_cs() ->set_cs AKA spi_geni_set_cs() # mas->cur_xfer is non-NULL
The above happens _before_ the SPI core calls ->handle_err() AKA handle_fifo_timeout(). Unfortunately that won't work so well on geni. If we got a timeout transferring then it's likely that our interrupt handler is blocked, but we need that same interrupt handler to run and the command channel to be unblocked in order to adjust the chip select. Trying to set the chip select doesn't crash us but ends up confusing our state machine and leads to messages like: Premature done. rx_rem = 32 bpw8 Let's just drop the chip select request in this case. We can detect the case because cur_xfer is non-NULL--it would have been set to NULL in the interrupt handler if the previous transfer had finished. Sure, we might leave the chip select in the wrong state but it's likely it was going to fail anyway and this avoids getting the driver even more confused about what it's doing. The SPI core in general assumes that setting chip select is a simple operation that doesn't fail. Yet another reason to just reconfigure the chip select line as GPIOs.
