Re: [PATCH v2] spi: orion: support armada extended baud rates

Hi Greg,

The Armada SoC family implementation of this SPI hardware module has
extended the configuration register to allow for a wider range of SPI
clock rates. Specifically the Serial Baud Rate Pre-selection bits in the
SPI Interface Configuration Register now also use bits 6 and 7 as well.

Modify the baud rate calculation to handle these differences for the
Armada case. Potentially a baud rate can be setup using a number of
different pre-scalar and scalar combinations. This code tries all
possible pre-scalar divisors (8 in total) to try and find the most
accuate set.

Are the Orion rates and register bits a subset of the Armada ones?
I.e. does the Armada work with the Orion setup?

This change introduces a new device tree compatible device name
"armada-spi". This is used in place of "orion-spi" on the Armada SoC
parts.

-                               compatible = "marvell,orion-spi";
+                               compatible = "marvell,armada-spi";

If the answer to my above question is yes, you want to keep
"marvell,orion-spi" as a fallback.
