This converts the TXX9 SPI driver to use GPIO descriptors
to control the GPIO chip selects.
As the driver was clearly (ab)using the device tree "reg"
property to offset into the global GPIO chip we have to
add a hack to counter the hack: add a 1-to-1 chip select
to GPIO offset mapping for all 16 lines on the TXX9 GPIO
chip. The details are described in a largeish comment
in the patch.
We do not need to set up the GPIO as output any more since
the core will take care of this, as well as it will handle
the polarity inversion semantics.

When rebooting system, the PMIC watchdog time loading may not be loaded
correctly when another system is feeding the PMIC watchdog, since we did
not check the watchdog busy status before loading time values.
Thus we should set the BIT_WDG_NEW bit before loading time values, that
can support multiple loads without checking busy status to make sure the
time values can be loaded successfully to avoid this potential issue.

Until a few years ago, this driver was only used with CS GPIO. The
only exception is CS0 on AT91RM9200 which has to use internal CS. A
limitation of the internal CS is that they don't support CS High.
So by using the CS GPIO the CS high configuration was available except
for the particular case CS0 on RM9200.
When the support for the internal chip-select was added, the check of
the CS high support was not updated. Due to this the driver accepts
this configuration for all the SPI controller v2 (used by all SoCs
excepting the AT91RM9200) whereas the hardware doesn't support it for
infernal CS.
This patch fixes the test to match the hardware capabilities.

This change implements CS control for setup, hold & inactive delays.
The `cs_setup` delay is completely new, and can help with cases where
asserting the CS, also brings the device out of power-sleep, where there
needs to be a longer (than usual), before transferring data.
The `cs_hold` time can overlap with the `delay` (or `delay_usecs`) from an
SPI transfer. The main difference is that `cs_hold` implies that CS will be
de-asserted.
The `cs_inactive` delay does not have a clear use-case yet. It has been
implemented mostly because the `spi_set_cs_timing()` function implements
it. To some degree, this could overlap or replace `cs_change_delay`, but
this will require more consideration/investigation in the future.
All these delays have been added to the `spi_controller` struct, as they
would typically be configured by calling `spi_set_cs_timing()` after an
`spi_setup()` call.
Software-mode for CS control, implies that the `set_cs_timing()` hook has
not been provided for the `spi_controller` object.

This change does a conversion from the `word_delay_usecs` -> `word_delay`

This allows users to specify inter-word delays in other unit types
(nano-seconds or clock cycles), depending on how users want.
The Atmel SPI driver is the only current user of the `word_delay_usecs`

So, it needed a slight conversion to use the `word_delay` as an `spi_delay`
struct.
In SPI core, the only required mechanism is to update the `word_delay`
information per `spi_transfer`. This requires a bit more logic than before,
because it needs that both delays be converted to a common unit
(nano-seconds) for comparison.

Since the logic for `spi_delay` struct + `spi_delay_exec()` has been copied
from the `cs_change_delay` logic, it's natural to make this delay, the
first user.
The `cs_change_delay` logic requires that the default remain 10 uS, in case
it is unspecified/unconfigured. So, there is some special handling needed
to do that.
The ADIS library is one of the few users of the new `cs_change_delay`
parameter for an spi_transfer.
The introduction of the `spi_delay` struct, requires that the users of of
`cs_change_delay` get an update. This change also updates the ADIS library.

There are plenty of delays that have been introduced in SPI core. Most of
them are in micro-seconds, some need to be in nano-seconds, and some in
clock-cycles.
For some of these delays (related to transfers & CS timing) it may make
sense to have a `spi_delay` struct that abstracts these a bit.
The important element of these delays [for unification] seems to be the
`unit` of the delay.
It looks like micro-seconds is good enough for most people, but every-once
in a while, some delays seem to require other units of measurement.
This change adds the `spi_delay` struct & a `spi_delay_exec()` function
that processes a `spi_delay` object/struct to execute the delay.
It's a copy of the `cs_change_delay` mechanism, but without the default
for 10 uS.
The clock-cycle delay unit is a bit special, as it needs to be bound to an
`spi_transfer` object to execute.

seem to have an additional TDH setting in the FLSHCR register, that
needs to be set in accordance with the access mode that is used (DDR
or SDR).
Previous bootstages such as BootROM or bootloader might have used the
DDR mode to access the flash. As we currently only use SDR mode, we

With this patch, the "interrupts" property from the device tree bindings
is ignored, even if present, if the driver runs in TCFQ mode.
Switching to using the DSPI in poll mode has several distinct
benefits:
- With interrupts, the DSPI driver in TCFQ mode raises an IRQ after each
transmitted word. There is more time wasted for the "waitq" event than
for actual I/O. And the DSPI IRQ count can easily get the largest in
/proc/interrupts on Freescale boards with attached SPI devices.
- The SPI I/O time is both lower, and more consistently so. Attached to
some Freescale devices are either PTP switches, or SPI RTCs. For
reading time off of a SPI slave device, it is important that all SPI
transfers take a deterministic time to complete.
- In poll mode there is much less time spent by the CPU in hardirq
context, which helps with the response latency of the system, and at
the same time there is more control over when interrupts must be
disabled (to get a precise timestamp measurement): win-win.
On the LS1021A-TSN board, where the SPI device is a SJA1105 PTP switch
(with a bits_per_word=8 driver), I created a "benchmark" where I read
its PTP time once per second, for 120 seconds. Each "read PTP time" is a
12-byte SPI transfer. I then recorded the time before putting the first
byte in the TX FIFO, and the time after reading the last byte from the
RX FIFO. That is the transfer delay in nanoseconds.
Interrupt mode:
delay: min 125120 max 168320 mean 150286 std dev 17675.3
Poll mode:
delay: min 69440 max 119040 mean 70312.9 std dev 8065.34
Both the mean latency and the standard deviation are more than 50% lower
in poll mode than in interrupt mode. This is with an 'ondemand' governor
on an otherwise idle system - therefore running mostly at 600 MHz out of
a max of 1200 MHz.

In this mode, the DSPI controller uses PIO to transfer word by word. In
comparison, in EOQ mode the 4-word deep FIFO is being used, hence the
current logic will need some adaptation for which I do not have the
hardware (Coldfire) to test. It is not clear what is the timing of DMA
transfers and whether timestamping in the driver brings any overall
performance increase compared to regular timestamping done in the core.
Short phc2sys summary after 58 minutes of running on LS1021A-TSN with
interrupts disabled during the critical section:
offset: min -26251 max 16416 mean -21.8672 std dev 863.416
delay: min 4720 max 57280 mean 5182.49 std dev 1607.19
lost servo lock 3 times
Summary of the same phc2sys service running for 120 minutes with
interrupts disabled:
offset: min -378 max 381 mean -0.0083089 std dev 101.495
delay: min 4720 max 5920 mean 5129.38 std dev 154.899
lost servo lock 0 times
The minimum delay (pre to post time) in nanoseconds is the same, but the
maximum delay is quite a bit higher, due to interrupts getting sometimes
executed and interfering with the measurement. Hence set disable_irqs
whenever possible (aka when the driver runs in poll mode - otherwise it
would be a contradiction in terms).
