Hi Peter, Thanks for your feedback.
You are right, this function looks like the spi_sync_transfer; So, I will use it in the next version of the driver.
Regarding the while loop, I don't see how can I check the number of dummy byte differently?
For the module error, Yes I have modified the patch file :s, apparently I haven't correctly modified the number of lines
Finaly, These sparse warning are finaly fix ;).
Best regards,

Hi Matthias,

This looks extremely like the predefined spi_sync_transfer in include/linux/spi.h
/** * spi_sync_transfer - synchronous SPI data transfer * @spi: device with which data will be exchanged * @xfers: An array of spi_transfers * @num_xfers: Number of items in the xfer array * Context: can sleep * * Does a synchronous SPI data transfer of the given spi_transfer array. * * For more specific semantics see spi_sync(). * * It returns zero on success, else a negative error code. */ static inline int spi_sync_transfer(struct spi_device *spi, struct spi_transfer *xfers, unsigned int num_xfers) { struct spi_message msg;
spi_message_init_with_transfers(&msg, xfers, num_xfers);
return spi_sync(spi, &msg); }
where spi_message_init_with_transfers is defined as
static inline void spi_message_init_with_transfers(struct spi_message *m, struct spi_transfer *xfers, unsigned int num_xfers) { unsigned int i;
spi_message_init(m); for (i = 0; i < num_xfers; ++i) spi_message_add_tail(&xfers[i], m); }
If you combine these functions you end up (more or less) with your implementation
So please use spi_sync_transfer OR as an alternative use spi_write / spi_read as an alternative as mentioned in a previous email
And here is a rather subjective remark:

Not sure if it would be easier to read using a while and putting the increment into the loop body
>+ while (nbr_dummy_bytes < total_length && >+ ((u8 *)xfer.rx_buf)[nbr_dummy_bytes] == 0) >+ nbr_dummy_bytes++;
I usually don't like empty loop bodies, as they tend to be overlooked.

Something is strange here - if I apply your patch, the module license gets lost - so I get a compile warning:
WARNING: modpost: missing MODULE_LICENSE() in /data/data-old/linux-2.6/drivers/char/tpm/tpm_spi_stm_st33.o
Do you edit the patch by hand before sending?
