Hi, I have now verified the differences. Actually the blocks are register offset compatible. Since the DS464 is 8 bit only, the driver is made to do only 8 bit accesses to some registers, for instance TXD. On the 570 we have to do 32 bit (or at least 16) as the driver now support more than 8bit SPI. We test against some SPI devices that are 16 bit. The offsets in the code differs from the datasheet because since the device is big endian -> an 8 bit access to must happen 3 bytes up from the register base. For instance the TXD register is defined at 0x6b, while the spec says 0x68. 0x68 + 0x3 = 0x6b. To support more than 8 bit, we must do 16 bit access at 0x6a or 32 bit at 0x68. To summarize; You are completely right you can use the "old" driver on the DS570 as well, but _only_ for 8bit SPI. My patch allows to run on X86 and with 16 or 32bit SPI. Thanks to the observation from you, I got aware of the differences. I can simplify the code by automatically increase registers offsets when doing 8 or 16 bits accesses. I will come back with an updated patch. Hope I made the situation clearer. --Richard _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-dev mailing list Linuxppc-dev@lists.ozlabs.org https://lists.ozlabs.org/listinfo/linuxppc-dev
