Description
See comments near the top of spi-gpio.c for more details:
/*
* Because the overhead of going through four GPIO procedure calls
* per transferred bit can make performance a problem, this code
* is set up so that you can use it in either of two ways:
*
* - The slow generic way: set up platform_data to hold the GPIO
* numbers used for MISO/MOSI/SCK, and issue procedure calls for
* each of them. This driver can handle several such busses.
*
* - The quicker inlined way: only helps with platform GPIO code
* that inlines operations for constant GPIOs. This can give
* you tight (fast!) inner loops, but each such bus needs a
* new driver. You'll define a new C file, with Makefile and
* Kconfig support; the C code can be a total of six lines:
*
* #define DRIVER_NAME "myboard_spi2"
* #define SPI_MISO_GPIO 119
* #define SPI_MOSI_GPIO 120
* #define SPI_SCK_GPIO 121
* #define SPI_N_CHIPSEL 4
* #include "spi-gpio.c"
*/
This would be especially useful on, e.g. TS-7990, where solo CPUs have Wi-Fi using spi-gpio
