Not caused by this patch, but the old problem where lower measurement
bits get lost is back - when I draw diagonal line it looks like
stairs. I think it's caused by OMAP SPI driver, CCing linux-omap.


Yes, it is OMAP spi driver issues, I have met the same problem before,
please refer to:
http://www.spinics.net/lists/arm-kernel/msg91538.html

you can apply this patch and test again.

It solves my issue, thanks

BTW I have done similar patch almost 2 years ago for exactly the same problem:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-omap&m=122565580616920&w=2
but then problem went away after random kernel update (from what I
remember), and my patch was no longer needed.

Really similar problem and similar solution, :-)

Subject: [PATCH] spi/omap2_mcspi: disable channel after TX_ONLY transfer in
PIO mode

In TX_ONLY transfer, the SPI controller can also receive data
simultaneously and saves them in rx register. After the TX_ONLY
transfer, the rx register will hold random data received during
last tx transaction.

If the next transfer is RX_ONLY, this random data has
the possibility to affect this transfer like this:

 If the spi controller is changed from TX_ONLY to RX_ONLY mode,
 The random data makes the rx register full imediately and
 triggers a dummy write (in SPI RX_ONLY transfer, we need a dummy
 write to trigger the first transaction).

 So the first data received in RX_ONLY transfer will be that
 random data instead of something meaningfug.

We can avoid this by a Disable/reenable toggle of the spi channel
after the TX_ONLY transfer, since it purges the rx register.
