It has been done to keep dt-backward compatibility. When the driver was written dt had configured native-cs. A native-cs implementation comes with lots of limitations and some of which - especially dma mode has some quirks with regards to native-cs (glitches, deasserts after each finished dma transfer,...) The only way to make this work properly was to use Gpio. So to properly support old device-trees with native-cs this gpio translation is needed, as we should not break things for old dt... Maybe this rational helps... Martin

I remember that there was a patch of mine to achieve this but it was turned down because it would not describe the the hw and the altx Pin up still needed to get at least documented that way. And that when enabling the spi Block the corresponding gpio Block would need to get configured properly. At that point I left the discussion as the effect of using gpio mode was implemented by the driver. I can search for the patch from a few years ago... > Even worse the alt0 group is applied for all the RPi Zero, 1 and 2 > boards, but not for the RPi 3 ones. > >> A native-cs implementation comes with lots of >> limitations and some of which - especially dma mode >> has some quirks with regards to native-cs (glitches, >> deasserts after each finished dma transfer,...) >> >> The only way to make this work properly was to use >> Gpio. > > So we better extend the current binding with cs-gpios as optional > property in order to point the user the right direction.

The difference is that aux has different issues and this driver Is not working properly without gpio cs giving unexpected results and resulting in regressions. Keeping gpio cs being mandatory is the only way to avoid regressions everything else is just relying on the legacy code and thus avoiding the discussion. Martin

Just applying this single patch gives me: CC [M] drivers/spi/spi-bcm2835.o drivers/spi/spi-bcm2835.c: In function ‘bcm2835_spi_setup’: drivers/spi/spi-bcm2835.c:883:6: warning: unused variable ‘err’ [-Wunused-variable] int err; ^~~ Then loading the module: [ 30.403459] spi spi0.0: FIXME: setting up native-CS0 as GPIO But when loading a spi-device driver it does not detect the device. One note: the logic analyzer shows that the CS line is inverted (high on SPI Clock running) With the un-patched version I get the following in dmesg: root@raspcm3:~# dmesg [ 27.987287] spi spi0.0: setting up native-CS0 as GPIO 2002 So you see that I am using the “original” DT that relies on the translation to gpio by the driver.

Using v5.1-rc1 will not work, you need a later RC because of other mistakes of mine :/ I would try just using mainline (Torvalds HEAD). (I removed the GPIO line number print because we should not rely on line numbers.) > With the un-patched version I get the following in dmesg: > root@raspcm3:~# dmesg > [ 27.987287] spi spi0.0: setting up native-CS0 as GPIO 2002 > > So you see that I am using the “original” DT that relies on the > translation to gpio by the driver. Good this is what we need to test. I suspect that it is the CS inversion that is the problem as you point out. Yours, Linus Walleij

But it still shows the same behavior with inverted CS. After reboot before loading the driver GPIO is High and in mode Alt0. After module load the GPIO is now output but switches level to LOW. Martin

This converts the BCM2835 SPI master driver to use GPIO descriptors for chip select handling. The BCM2835 driver was relying on the core to drive the CS high/low so very small changes were needed for this part. If it managed to request the CS from the device tree node, all is pretty straight forward. However for native GPIOs this driver has a quite unorthodox loopback to request some GPIOs from the SoC GPIO chip by looking it up from the device tree using gpiochip_find() and then offseting hard into its numberspace. This has been augmented a bit by using gpiochip_request_own_desc() but this code really needs to be verified. If "native CS" is actually an SoC GPIO, why is it even done this way? Should this GPIO not just be defined in the device tree like any other CS GPIO? I'm confused.
