spi: spi-fsl-dspi: Convert TCFQ users to XSPI FIFO mode
The Transfer Complete Flag (TCF) interrupt gets raised after each write
to the TX FIFO (PUSHR) which means that it is not possible to devise a
transfer procedure that makes full utilization of the FIFO depth (4
entries on most controllers, 16 entries on some).
On the other hand, XSPI mode has a feature called "command cycling",
which allows a single TX command to be run for a pre-specified number of
TX words. When the command cycle ends, the Command Transfer Complete
Flag bit asserts and raises an interrupt. The advantage in this mode is
that the TX FIFO can be better utilized (more words can be batched at
once).
Other changes brought by this patch:
- The dspi->rx_end variable has been removed, since now the
dspi_fifo_write function sets up dspi->words_in_flight, so
dspi_fifo_read knows how much to read without overrunning the RX
buffer.
- Stop using poll mode unconditionally for TCFQ mode, since XSPI mode
is a little less efficient than that, and so, poll mode doesn't bring
as many improvements for XSPI.
- Stop relying on the hardware transfer counter (SPI_TCR_GET_TCNT) and
instead increment the message->actual_length based on the newly
introduced dspi->words_in_flight variable.
- The CTARE register is now written in the hotpath instead of just at
transfer init time, since it contains the DTCP field (transfer
preload - the counter indicating how many txdata words will follow),
which is a dynamic value.
Due to the fact that the Chip Select toggling setting is part of the
command written to the TX FIFO, the ending word of each buffer needs to
be sent via its own TX command, so that we have a chance to emit a
1-word command with deasserted PCS.
