In this mode, the DSPI controller uses PIO to transfer word by word. In comparison, in EOQ mode the 4-word deep FIFO is being used, hence the current logic will need some adaptation for which I do not have the hardware (Coldfire) to test. It is not clear what is the timing of DMA transfers and whether timestamping in the driver brings any overall performance increase compared to regular timestamping done in the core. Short phc2sys summary after 58 minutes of running on LS1021A-TSN with interrupts disabled during the critical section: offset: min -26251 max 16416 mean -21.8672 std dev 863.416 delay: min 4720 max 57280 mean 5182.49 std dev 1607.19 lost servo lock 3 times Summary of the same phc2sys service running for 120 minutes with interrupts disabled: offset: min -378 max 381 mean -0.0083089 std dev 101.495 delay: min 4720 max 5920 mean 5129.38 std dev 154.899 lost servo lock 0 times The minimum delay (pre to post time) in nanoseconds is the same, but the maximum delay is quite a bit higher, due to interrupts getting sometimes executed and interfering with the measurement. Hence set disable_irqs whenever possible (aka when the driver runs in poll mode - otherwise it would be a contradiction in terms).
