The cs_change flag changes the following: (i) When a non-final SPI transfer has cs_change = true, the chip select should temporarily deassert and then reassert starting with the next transfer. (ii) When a final SPI transfer has cs_change = true, the chip select should remain asserted until the following SPI message. The sja1105 driver only uses cs_change for its first property, to form a single SPI message whose layout can be seen below: this is an entire, single spi_message _______________________________________________________________________________________________ / \ +-------------+---------------+-------------+---------------+ ... +-------------+---------------+ | hdr_xfer[0] | chunk_xfer[0] | hdr_xfer[1] | chunk_xfer[1] | | hdr_xfer[n] | chunk_xfer[n] | +-------------+---------------+-------------+---------------+ ... +-------------+---------------+ cs_change false true false true false false ____________________________ _____________________________ _____________________________ CS line __/ \/ \ ... / \__ The fact of the matter is that spi_max_message_size() has an ambiguous meaning if any non-final transfer has cs_change = true. If the SPI master has a limitation in that it cannot keep the chip select asserted for more than, say, 200 bytes (like the spi-sc18is602), the normal thing for it to do is to implement .max_transfer_size and .max_message_size, and limit both to 200: in the "worst case" where cs_change is always false, then the controller can, indeed, not send messages larger than 200 bytes. But the fact that the SPI controller's max_message_size does not necessarily mean that we cannot send messages larger than that. Notably, if the SPI master special-cases the transfers with cs_change and treats every chip select toggling as an entirely new transaction, then a SPI message can easily exceed that limit. So there is a temptation to ignore the controller's reported max_message_size when using cs_change = true in non-final transfers. But that can lead to false conclusions. As Mark points out, the SPI controller might have a different kind of limitation with the max message size, that has nothing at all to do with how long it can keep the chip select asserted. For example, that might be the case if the device is able to offload the chip select changes to the hardware as part of the data stream, and it packs the entire stream of commands+data (corresponding to a SPI message) into a single DMA transfer that is itself limited in size. So the only thing we can do is avoid ambiguity by not using cs_change at all. Instead of sending a single spi_message, we now send multiple SPI messages as follows: spi_message 0 spi_message 1 spi_message n ____________________________ ___________________________ _____________________________ / \ / \ / \ +-------------+---------------+-------------+---------------+ ... +-------------+---------------+ | hdr_xfer[0] | chunk_xfer[0] | hdr_xfer[1] | chunk_xfer[1] | | hdr_xfer[n] | chunk_xfer[n] | +-------------+---------------+-------------+---------------+ ... +-------------+---------------+ cs_change false true false true false false ____________________________ _____________________________ _____________________________ CS line __/ \/ \ ... / \__ which is clearer because the max_message_size limit is now easier to enforce. What is transmitted on the wire stays, of course, the same. Additionally, because we send no more than 2 transfers at a time, we now avoid dynamic memory allocation too, which might be seen as an improvement by some.
