[PATCH v5 00/17] spi: cadence-quadspi: add PHY tuning support

This series implements PHY tuning support for the Cadence QSPI controller
to enable reliable high-speed operations. Without PHY tuning, controllers
use conservative timing that limits performance. PHY tuning calibrates
RX/TX delay lines to find optimal data capture timing windows, enabling
operation up to the controller's maximum frequency.

Background:
High-speed SPI memory controllers require precise timing calibration for
reliable operation. At higher frequencies, board-to-board variations make
fixed timing parameters inadequate. The Cadence QSPI controller includes
a PHY interface with programmable delay lines (0-127 taps) for RX and TX
paths, but these require runtime calibration to find the valid timing
window.

Approach:
Add SDR/DDR PHY tuning algorithms for the Cadence controller:

SDR Mode Tuning (1D search):
 - Searches for two consecutive valid RX delay windows
 - Selects the larger window and uses its midpoint for maximum margin
 - TX delay fixed at maximum (127) as it's less critical in SDR

DDR Mode Tuning (2D search):
 - Finds RX boundaries (rxlow/rxhigh) using TX window sweeps
 - Finds TX boundaries (txlow/txhigh) at fixed RX positions
 - Defines valid region corners and detects gaps via binary search
 - Applies temperature compensation for optimal point selection
 - Handles single or dual passing regions with different strategies

Patch description:
Infrastructure (1-5):
 - Patch 1:   Add spi-max-post-config-frequency-hz to describe maximum
              frequency achievable post controller configuration
 - Patch 2:   Add spi-phy-pattern-partition phandle for
              NOR flash PHY tuning pattern location
 - Patch 3:   Parse spi-max-post-config-frequency-hz in spi.c; adds
              spi_device.post_config_max_speed_hz (0 when not set
              keeping all existing DT fully compatible)
 - Patch 4:   Extend spi_mem_adjust_op_freq() with a bypass: if
              op->max_freq equals post_config_max_speed_hz, return
              immediately leaving op->max_freq unchanged. All other
              ops are capped to max_speed_hz
 - Patch 5:   Add execute_tuning callback to spi_controller_mem_ops and
              spi_mem_execute_tuning() wrapper in SPI-MEM core

Cadence QSPI Implementation (6-13):
 - Patch 6:   Move cqspi_readdata_capture() earlier (preparatory)
 - Patch 7:   Add DQS bit to cqspi_readdata_capture() (preparatory)
 - Patch 8:   Add complete PHY tuning support: DLL management, pattern
              verification (NOR via spi-phy-pattern-partition phandle,
              NAND via write-to-cache), SDR 1D and DDR 2D search
              algorithms with temperature compensation, AM654-specific
              execute_tuning entry point
 - Patch 9:   Reject 2-byte-address DDR operations via a new
              CQSPI_NO_PHY_TUNING_WITH_ODDR_2B_ADDR quirk flag to work
              around AM654 OSPI erratum i2383
 - Patch 10:  Refactor direct read path for PHY support (preparatory)
 - Patch 11:  Enable PHY for direct reads; split the transfer into an
              unaligned head, a 16-byte-aligned middle section with PHY
              active, and an unaligned tail; also reprograms DLL on
              chip-select switch when two devices have different
              calibrated settings
 - Patch 12:  Enable PHY for indirect writes of at least
              CQSPI_PHY_MIN_INDIRECT_WRITE_LEN bytes
 - Patch 13:  Reprogram per-device CS timing on any chip-select switch

MTD core (14-17):
 - Patch 14:  Extract spinand_select_op_variant() into a shared helper
              spinand_op_find_best_variant() with a skip_mask
 - Patch 15:  Negotiate optimal controller operating point before dirmap
              creation; iterate all read variants in performance order
              across ODTR and SSDR interfaces
 - Patch 16:  Extract spi_nor_spimem_get_read_op() helper (preparatory)
 - Patch 17:  Execute controller optimization in spi_nor_probe() before
              creating dirmaps

Repo: https://github.com/santhosh21/linux/commits/phy_tuning_v5

Changes in v5:
 - Rename spi-max-post-config-frequency to spi-max-post-config-frequency-hz
   per DT schema unit suffix convention
 - Rename CQSPI_NO_2BYTE_ADDR_PHY_DDR quirk to
   CQSPI_NO_PHY_TUNING_WITH_ODDR_2B_ADDR for clarity
 - Rename SPI NAND identifiers to remove PHY-specific terminology:
     spinand_configure_phy()     -> spinand_optimize_controller()
     spinand_try_phy_ranked()    -> spinand_try_ranked_variant()
     spinand_reset_max_ops()     -> spinand_reset_max_freq_ops()
     spinand_op_find_best()      -> spinand_op_find_best_variant()
     phy_read_variants (field)   -> all_read_variants
 - Replace bool odtr parameter with enum spinand_bus_interface iface in
   spinand_op_find_best_variant() to preserve the existing enumeration
 - Replace cqspi_get_phy_pattern_offset() with per-flash probe-time
   phandle lookup in cqspi_of_get_flash_pdata(); fixes incorrect pattern
   offset selection when multiple flash devices share a controller
 - In cqspi_tune_phy(), reprogramme and resync the DLL when the active
   device's calibrated settings differ from hardware
 - Edit cqspi_phy_apply_setting() to update phy_setting.rx and
   phy_setting.tx alongside phy_setting.read_delay
 - Reprogram per-device CS timing (CQSPI_REG_DELAY and read-capture register)
   on any chip-select switch, not only on clock changes
 - Move post_config_max_speed_hz early-return to the top of
   spinand_optimize_controller(), before any state is modified
 - Remove dead NULL guards on SSDR op templates in Pass 2
 - Downgrade tuning-failure log messages from dev_warn to dev_dbg
 - Rebase on v7.2-rc3
 - Collect tags
 - Link to v4: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-spi/[email protected]/

Changes in v4:
 - Add spi-max-post-config-frequency instead of extending spi-max-frequency
   to accept an optional second value
 - Replace spi_mem_apply_base_freq_cap() with spi_mem_adjust_op_freq() extension
 - For SPI NOR/NAND, execute PHY tuning before the dirmap creation
 - For SPI NAND, execute PHY tuning across all operation variants available,
   perform duration comparison, and select the best resulting variant
   by taking controller-specific restrictions into account
 - Move i2383 check from cqspi_supports_mem_op() to cqspi_am654_ospi_execute_tuning()
 - Rename cdns,phy-pattern-partition to spi-phy-pattern-partition,
   cqspi_phy_enable to cqspi_tune_phy and f_pdata->use_phy to use_tuned_phy
 - Remove redundant spi-max-frequency parsing in driver cqspi_of_get_flash_pdata()
 - Extract DMA refactoring into a preparatory patch
 - Rebase on v7.1
 - Collect tags from Miquel
 - Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-spi/[email protected]/

Changes in v3:
 - Drop spi-has-dqs DT property; DQS is now enabled automatically when
   the selected read operation uses DDR signalling (dtr flags in the op)
 - Extend spi-max-frequency to accept an optional second value forming a
   [base-freq, max-freq] pair; the presence of two values signals PHY
   tuning intent and encodes both the conservative base speed and the
   calibration target in one property
 - Add base_speed_hz to struct spi_device (spi.c/spi.h) and parse the
   two-element array there; single-value DT is fully backward-compatible
 - Move frequency enforcement from the cadence driver to core: new
   spi_mem_apply_base_freq_cap() called from spi_mem_exec_op() replaces
   the per-driver cqspi_op_matches_tuned() and non_phy_clk_rate field
 - Propagate the tuned max_freq to dirmap op templates after
   execute_tuning() succeeds; store persistent op templates in
   spi_nor.max_read_op and spinand.{max_read,max_write}_op so the
   frequency writeback survives across the probe call
 - Replace NOR pattern partition lookup by name with a
   cdns,phy-pattern-partition DT phandle pointing directly to the
   partition node
 - Add CQSPI_NO_2BYTE_ADDR_PHY_DDR quirk and reject 2-byte-address DDR
   ops in cqspi_supports_mem_op() to work around AM654 erratum i2383
 - Remove RFC tag
 - Rebase on v7.1-rc5
 - Collect tags from Miquel
 - Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-spi/[email protected]/

Changes in v2:
 - Restructure the .execute_tuning() call from spi-mem clients instead
   of mtdcore with best read_op and write_op (optional) passed
 - Add compatible-specific .execute_tuning() call which can be called by
   spi_mem_execute_tuning() if exists
 - Handle tuning requirement check by controller instead of spi-mem
   clients
 - Add support to write the phy_pattern to cache if relevant write_op
   is passed or get the partition offset which contains the phy_pattern
 - Add tuning algorithm for DDR mode
 - Add support for DQS
 - Restrict PHY frequency to tuned operations
 - Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-spi/[email protected]/
