spi: gpio: Follow renaming of SPI "master" to "controller"

In commit 8caab75fd2c2 ("spi: Generalize SPI "master" to "controller"")
some functions and struct members were renamed. Recent work by Uwe
completes this renaming. However, there are plenty of leftovers in
the comments and in-code documentation. Update them as well.

spi: spi-gpio: Rewrite to use GPIO descriptors

This converts the bit-banged GPIO SPI driver to looking up and
using GPIO descriptors to get a handle on GPIO lines for SCK,
MOSI, MISO and all CS lines.

All existing board files are converted in one go to keep it all
consistent. With these conversions I rarely find any interrim
steps that makes any sense.

Device tree probing and GPIO handling should work like before
also after this patch.

For board files, we stop using controller data to pass the GPIO
line for chip select, instead we pass this as a GPIO descriptor
lookup like everything else.

In some s3c24xx machines the names of the SPI devices were set to
"spi-gpio" rather than "spi_gpio" which can never have worked, I
fixed it working (I guess) as part of this patch set. Sometimes
I wonder how this code got upstream in the first place, it
obviously is not tested.

mach-s3c64xx/mach-smartq.c has the same problem and additionally
defines the *same* GPIO line for MOSI and MISO which is not going
to be accepted by gpiolib. As the lines were number 1,2,2 I assumed
it was a typo and use lines 1,2,3. A comment gives awat that line 0
is chip select though no actual SPI device is provided for the LCD
supposed to be on this bit-banged SPI bus. I left it intact instead
of just deleting the bus though.

Kill off board file code that try to initialize the SPI lines
to the same values that they will later be set by the spi_gpio
driver anyways. Given the huge number of weird things in these
board files I do not think this code is very tested or put in
with much afterthought anyways.

In order to assert that we do not get performance regressions on
this crucial bing-banged driver, a ran a script like this dumping the
Ilitek ILI9322 regmap 10000 times (it has no caching obviously) on
an otherwise idle system in two iterations before and after the
patches:

#!/bin/sh
for run in `seq 10000`
do
cat /debug/regmap/spi0.0/registers > /dev/null
done

Before the patch:

time test.sh
real 3m 41.03s
user 0m 29.41s
sys 3m 7.22s

time test.sh
real 3m 44.24s
user 0m 32.31s
sys 3m 7.60s

After the patch:

time test.sh
real 3m 41.32s
user 0m 28.92s
sys 3m 8.08s

time test.sh
real 3m 39.92s
user 0m 30.20s
sys 3m 5.56s

So any performance differences seems to be in the error margin.

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.

For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139

and resulted in the first patch in this series.

If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:

SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930

and resulted in the second patch in this series.

- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:

SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1

and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).

- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

spi: spi-gpio: fix compilation warning on 64 bits systems

SPI_GPIO_NO_MOSI and SPI_GPIO_NO_MISO flags are type casted to unsigned
long, yet, they are to be stored in an unsigned int field in the
spi_gpio_platform_data structure.

This leads to the following warning during compilation on 64 bits systems:
warning: large integer implicitly truncated to unsigned type [-Woverflow]

spi/spi-gpio: add support for controllers without MISO or MOSI pin

There are some boards that do not strictly follow SPI standard and use
only 3 wires (SCLK, MOSI or MISO, SS) for connecting some simple auxiliary
chips and controls them with GPIO based 'spi controller'. In this
configuration the MISO or MOSI line is missing (it is not required if the
chip does not transfer any data back to host or host only reads data from
chip).

This patch adds support for such non-standard configuration in GPIO-based
SPI controller. It has been tested in configuration without MISO pin.

spi-gpio: allow operation without CS signal

Change spi-gpio so that it is possible to drive SPI communications over
GPIO without the need for a chipselect signal.

This is useful in very small setups where there's only one slave device
on the bus.

This patch does not affect existing setups.

I use this for a tiny communication channel between an embedded device and
a microcontroller. There are not enough GPIOs available for chipselect
and it's not needed anyway in this case.

spi_gpio driver

Generalize the old at91rm9200 "bootstrap" bitbanging SPI master driver as
"spi_gpio", so it works with arbitrary GPIOs and can be configured through
platform_data. Such SPI masters support:

- any number of bus instances (bus_num is the platform_device.id)
- any number of chipselects (one GPIO per spi_device)
- all four SPI_MODE values, and SPI_CS_HIGH
- i/o word sizes from 1 to 32 bits;
- devices configured as with any other spi_master controller

When configured using platform_data, this provides relatively low clock
rates. On platforms that support inlined GPIO calls, significantly
improved transfer speeds are also possible with a semi-custom driver.
(It's still painful when accessing flash memory, but less so.)

Sanity checked by using this version to replace both native controllers on
a board with six different SPI slaves, relying on three different
SPI_MODE_* values and both SPI_CS_HIGH settings for correct operation.
