[PATCH 001/001] gpio-mxs: Select faster gpio-generic set methods

From: Simon Pearson
Date: Fri Jun 21 2013 - 14:22:19 EST


From: Simon Pearson <spearson@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Kernel 3.8.4. By defining both the set and clear registers,
the speed of the gpio isimproved. gpio-generic.c, selects the
bgpio_set_with_clear() which isfaster than the current
bgpio_set_set(). This has performance implications for all
bitbang drivers (i2c, spi, etc). Slow SPI as compared to
2.6.35.33 improved by a factor of 10 (80kHz CLK to 800kHz CLK).
