This patchset introduces support for the technologic version of the SJA1000. Access to IP's registers are proxied through a window, requiring two bus accesses to read or write a register. These accesses must be protected by a spinlock to prevent race conditions. Currently, there is no easy way to allocate and initialize this spinlock.
SJA1000 already provides a way to allocate private data, but sja1000_platform.c makes no use of it. Patch 1 adds the capability to allocate and initialize private data on a per-compatible basis in sja1000_platform.c. Patch 2 updates device tree documentation to add the technologic version. Patch 3 updates the driver to implement the technologic version Changes in v2: - added a patch to allocate and initialize private data - changed device tree documentation - added a spinlock to protect bus accesses - changed sp_{read,write}_reg16 to io{read,write}16 Damien Riegel (3): can: sja1000: of: add per-compatible init hook can: sja1000: add documentation for Technologic Systems version can: sja1000: of: add compatibility with Technologic Systems version .../devicetree/bindings/net/can/sja1000.txt | 3 +- drivers/net/can/sja1000/sja1000_platform.c | 86 +++++++++++++++++++++- 2 files changed, 86 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) -- 2.5.0 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
