Bug on fifo_len not being set. The fifo sizing routine does not work
since the txfltr register can not be written while the controller is
enabled. The max value of txfltr can be larger than the fifo. The
register allows values upto 0x3f (63) the fifo depth on the Intel
SOC's if 40

This code is requested by other community developers, the FIFO
length is adjustable for the dw_spi core when deployed on
different platforms, for those who are not certain about the
FIFO len, they can use this code to probe the FIFO len.

So we need to keep it.


Then I have bad documentation because document I have says that you can NOt write to txfltr while the controller is enabled. The sizing routine as it stands can't work for the implementation in Moorsetown and Medfield.

If there are other SOC's that are implementing different semantics for txfltr we will need to handle this differently and do some runtime detection of how the fifo should be sized.

Can you give ne a reference to the person that requiested the sizing code so I can follow-up

int __devinit spi_dw_add_host(struct spi_dw *dws)
