cover at86rf230: state delay over hrtimer and calibration

Hi,

this patch series contains for doing the state delay via hrtimer and introduce the transceiver calibration by doing a TRX_OFF -> TX_ON state before transmit and transceiver leaves 5 minutes in PLL state.

PATCH 1/3 at86rf230: replace state change sleeps with hrtimer

This patch replace the state change timing relevant sleeps with hrtimers. Currently the sleeps are done in the complete handler of spi_async. The relation of doing the state change timing sleep with a timer will get the sleep functionality out of spi_async complete handler context.

PATCH 2/3 at86rf230: add support for calibration timeout

In reply to Alexander Aring

This patch adds a handling for calibration if we are 5 minutes in PLL state. I first tried to implement the calibration functionality in TX_ON state via register values CF_START and DCU_START, but this occurs a one second delay at each calibration time.

An another solution to start a calibration is to switch from TRX_OFF state into TX_ON, then a calibration is done automatically by transceiver. This method will be used in this patch, after each transmit of a frame we check with jiffies if the PLL is set 5 minutes without doing a TRX_OFF->(TX_ON || RX_AACK_ON) or channel switch. The worst case would be a transceiver in receiving mode only, but this is under normal operation very unlikely.

PATCH 3/3 at86rf230: fix volatile regmap registers

In reply to Alexander Aring

These registers are also changed by transceiver and should be volatile for right accessing via regmap debugfs.
