ECSPI has a low throughput because of no dynamic burst support, it
transfers only one word per frame in DMA mode, causing SCLK stalls
between words due to BURST_LENGTH updates.
This patch set is to support ECSPI dynamic burst feature to help improve
the ECSPI DMA mode performance.
Performance test (spidev_test @10MHz, 4KB):
Before: tx/rx ~6651.9 kbps
After: tx/rx ~9922.2 kbps (~50% improvement)
For compatibility with slow SPI devices, add configurable word delay in
DMA mode. When word delay is set, dynamic burst is disabled and
BURST_LENGTH equals word length.
Also support target DMA mode with enabled dynamic burst.
Carlos Song (6):
spi: imx: group spi_imx_dma_configure() with spi_imx_dma_transfer()
spi: imx: introduce helper to clear DMA mode logic
spi: imx: avoid dmaengine_terminate_all() on TX prep failure
spi: imx: handle DMA submission errors with dma_submit_error()
spi: imx: support dynamic burst length for ECSPI DMA mode
spi: imx: enable DMA mode for target operation
