This means that the driver goes to support multiple interfaces at the
same time, independently if they are CSPI or ECSPI. At the moment, there
is no use case for it.

Yes, this is also for most drivers in u-boot to support multiple
interface and not only one.

Agree.

Yes, it is the same.

The layout of the CSPI registers is not exactly the same for all SOCs.
For example, the MXC_CSPICTRL_TC has a different position, as well as
the BITCOUNT (because the MX31 can send less bits in one shot) and
MXC_CSPICTRL_CHIPSELECT.

So they are similar, but not exactly the same.

Then we have the MX5 registers. Even if we check the CSPI (not eCSPI)
controller, the layout of the registers is different compared to the MX3
SOCs.


The struct cspi_regs is already present in mx31, mx35, and mx51 headers,
so I'm not breaking new ground here, only in the bitfield declarations.


Right, I see the same. The cspi_regs structure is already defined into
the imx_regs.h, only the bit layout was moved. And as the bit layout is
SOC dependent, I think the right place for it is inside the imx-regs.h
registers.


My interpretation of Stefano's intent is to clean up the driver at the
expense of extra defines in the arch-specific headers.


Yes, you're right - of course, I am open also to other solutions if they
are proofed to be better ;-).



I think this is about as good as things get with the current code base.
I would argue that the driver would be better if it explicitly supported
ECSPI and CSPI at the same time since the mx5x CPUs support it.

Implememting that would likely require a de-structuring (removing the
use of structs to represent the register set). IOW, a re-write.

That's probably not worth the effort unless someone's built hardware
that needs it (I'm not aware of any).

On our boards that use more than one channel of SPI (for PMIC and SF), we're 
using ECSPI on both. I think the same was true on the MX51 EVK.

The reg structures are already into these header files - the patch moves
only the bit meaning inside the imx-regs.h files. We can discuss if we
should move them again into the driver, making the decision on which
structure to be used not on a SOC level (#ifdef CONFIG_MXxx), but on
basis of the controller type (CSPI or ECSPI).

This makes sense if we run (we had until now no use case with the
currently supported boards) a MX5 board using a CSPI instead of a ECSPI.
In this case, we should also transform MXC_CSPI / MXC_ECSPI in a CONFIG_
define to be put in the board configuration file.

However, as usual in u-boot, dead code or code that has no use case and
cannot be tested is not allowed. Until we have not such a board (MX5
board requiring CSPI instead of ECSPI), we should avoid to introduce not
tested code and let those changes for a next patch.

Right - and we already discussed in the past how to avoid to put
specific SOC code inside the driver. In fact, the cspi_regs structure
was already moved into the specific SOC header (imx-regs.h) - but the
definitions of the single bits of the registers are still inside the

They should also be moved - take into acoount by implementing your
changes for i.mx6

But they're all the same, right? So we have now the same structure defined
thrice?



Almost, but not quite: mx31 and mx35 both use the CSPI peripheral and have
one layout. mx5 and mx6 have the ECSPI peripheral, which has an extra
register "cfg" to control the polarity and phase of the signals.

Actually, that comment is wrong. The MX51 and MX53 have **both** CSPI and
ECSPI peripherals, but the existing code in mxc_spi only supports ECSPI.

The bitfields that my patches move into the imx-regs.h files are also
almost identical.

I was tempted to introduce an 'mxc_ecspi.h' to merge the declaration
for i.MX5x and i.MX6 which share the ECSPI peripheral and 'mxc_cspi.h'

But you don't even need this outside of the spi driver so just put it into the
