Subject: [RFC 0/3] ATBEN kernel support for the Ben NanoNote
For review before submitting things upstream:
This set of three patches adds support for the ATBEN IEEE 802.15.4 board,
along with the infrastructure needed for the Ben NanoNote. It consists
of three parts:
1) addition of a platform-specific reset function to the AT86RF230 driver.
The driver assumes that it can reset the transceiver through a reset
pin, but ATBEN uses power cycling instead. We therefore need a
platform-specific function to perform the reset.
2) addition of an SPI-GPIO driver optimized for the Jz4740. ATBEN
connects to a physical MMC interface but uses SPI (with some quirks)
for communication. We therefore have to use bit-banging.
The SPI-GPIO driver would be too slow, so we introduce a driver
optimized for the Ingenic Jz4740 SoC that implements a subset of
SPI-GPIO's functionality and is up to about six times faster.
3) last but not least, we add the platform definitions that connect
the drivers and devices, and provide the platform-specific reset
function. Since all this is specific to the Ben NanoNote, the code
goes into arch/mips/jz4740/
Comments welcome.

Subject: [RFC 1/3] at86rf230: add support for platform-specific reset function
Some platforms may not connect the /RST line directly to a GPIO, or they
may not connect it at all and instead use power cycling to reset the
transceiver.
An example of the latter type is the ATBEN board on the Ben NanoNote.
This patch adds support for a platform-specific reset function to the
AT86RF230/1 driver. If the platform provides a reset function, "rstn"
is ignored and no GPIO is allocated for it.

Subject: [RFC 2/3] SPI-GPIO variant optimized for the Ingenic Jz4740 SoC
This is a drop-in replacement for spi-gpio.c optimized for Jz4740-based
systems. It is up to about six times faster than its generic counterpart.
Only supports SPI mode 0 and CS active-low. Furthermore, MOSI, MISO, and
SCK must be on the same port.
A detailed performance analysis can be found here:

Subject: [RFC 3/3] add ATBEN framework for Ben NanoNote in arch/mips/jz4740/
These are the driver and device definitions, and a platform-specific
reset function needed for operating an ATBEN IEEE 802.15.4 board on
the Ben NanoNote (aka QI_LB60).
