TI QSPI has four 32 bit data regsiters which can be used to transfer 16 bytes of data at once. The register group QSPI_SPI_DATA_REG_3, QSPI_SPI_DATA_REG_2, QSPI_SPI_DATA_REG_1 and QSPI_SPI_DATA_REG is treated as a single 128-bit word for shifting data in and out. The bit at QSPI_SPI_DATA_REG_3[31] position is the first bit to be shifted out in case of 128 bit transfer mode. Therefore the first byte to be written to flash should be at QSPI_SPI_DATA_REG_3[31-25] position. Instead of writing 1 byte at a time when interacting with spi-nor flash, make use of all the four registers so that 16 bytes can be transferred in one go. This reduces number of register writes and Word Complete interrupts for a given transfer message size, thereby increasing the write performance. Without this patch the raw flash write speed is ~100KB/s, with this patch the write speed increases to ~400 kB/s on DRA74 EVM.
