Michael Hennerich 3322c7bbf6 Blackfin: document SPI CS limitations with CPHA=0
With the Blackfin on-chip SPI peripheral, there is some logic tied to
the CPHA bit whether the Slave Select Line is controlled by hardware
(CPHA=0) or controlled by software (CPHA=1).  However, the Linux SPI
bus driver assumes that the Slave Select being asserted during the
entire SPI transfer.  So explain these small details for people who
need certain SPI modes with standard CS behavior.

Michael Hennerich 58b0e22ab6 Blackfin: remove useless and outdated documentation
The filesystem and cache files duplicate existing & better documents, and
these contain outdated information.  So punt them.

Michael Hennerich aaa225e0aa Blackfin: punt cache lock documentation
The cache lock code was unused and punted, so punt the documentation too.

Bryan Wu 1394f03221 blackfin architecture
This adds support for the Analog Devices Blackfin processor architecture, and
currently supports the BF533, BF532, BF531, BF537, BF536, BF534, and BF561
(Dual Core) devices, with a variety of development platforms including those
avaliable from Analog Devices (BF533-EZKit, BF533-STAMP, BF537-STAMP,
BF561-EZKIT), and Bluetechnix!  Tinyboards.

The Blackfin architecture was jointly developed by Intel and Analog Devices
Inc.  (ADI) as the Micro Signal Architecture (MSA) core and introduced it in
December of 2000.  Since then ADI has put this core into its Blackfin
processor family of devices.  The Blackfin core has the advantages of a clean,
orthogonal,RISC-like microprocessor instruction set.  It combines a dual-MAC
(Multiply/Accumulate), state-of-the-art signal processing engine and
single-instruction, multiple-data (SIMD) multimedia capabilities into a single
instruction-set architecture.

The Blackfin architecture, including the instruction set, is described by the
ADSP-BF53x/BF56x Blackfin Processor Programming Reference
http://blackfin.uclinux.org/gf/download/frsrelease/29/2549/Blackfin_PRM.pdf

The Blackfin processor is already supported by major releases of gcc, and
there are binary and source rpms/tarballs for many architectures at:
http://blackfin.uclinux.org/gf/project/toolchain/frs There is complete
documentation, including "getting started" guides available at:
http://docs.blackfin.uclinux.org/ which provides links to the sources and
patches you will need in order to set up a cross-compiling environment for
bfin-linux-uclibc

This patch, as well as the other patches (toolchain, distribution,
uClibc) are actively supported by Analog Devices Inc, at:
http://blackfin.uclinux.org/

We have tested this on LTP, and our test plan (including pass/fails) can
be found at:
