What shall I set for enc28j60 on Altera C5 for spi

I want to use the enc28j60, which communicates over spi. I’ve tried to test the usage with rpi and it was ok. Now I want to set it with a rocketboarb Linux for Altera Cyclone V, actually it has a different driver(dts). Our last configuration state:

preloader file socfpfa_common.c:

int board_early_init_f(void)
{

writel(3,SYSMGR_PINMUXGRP_GENERALIO(9)); /* SPIM0_CLK /
writel(3,SYSMGR_PINMUXGRP_GENERALIO(10)); /
SPIM0_MOSI /
writel(3,SYSMGR_PINMUXGRP_GENERALIO(11)); /
SPIM0_MISO /
writel(3,SYSMGR_PINMUXGRP_GENERALIO(12)); /
SPIM0_SS0 /
writel(0,SYSMGR_PINMUXGRP_GENERALIO(13)); /
SPIM INT */

dts file

&spi0 {
status = “okay”;

device@0 {
    compatible = "enc28j60";
    /*spi-chipselect = <0>;*/
    reg = <0>;    /* chip select 0 */
    spi-max-frequency = <12000000>;
    enable-dma = <1>;
};

};

Have somebody experience with SPI and explain me how can I find what am I missing, or where sould I look for a list of dts parameters. I use dizzy:

I have a small succes, I’ve found that a used kernel is not the youngest one. Second I will start just with a spi master.
My dts file looks now:

spi0: spi@fff00000 {
compatible = “snps,dw-apb-ssi”;
reg = <0xfff00000 0x1000>;
interrupts = <0 154 4>;
#address-cells = <1>;
#size-cells = <0>;
num-cs = <1>;
bus-num = <0>;
tx-dma-channel = <&pdma 16>;
rx-dma-channel = <&pdma 17>;
clocks = <&spi_m_clk>;
cs-gpios = <&gpio0 13 0>;

    spidev@0 {
            compatible = "spidev";
            reg = <0>;    /* chip select */
            spi-max-frequency = <12000000>;
            enable-dma = <0>;
        };


And it produces now a following error during a a startup:

/soc/spi@fff00000: could not get #gpio-cells for /soc/gpio@ff708000
/soc/spi@fff00000: could not get #gpio-cells for /soc/gpio@ff708000
spi_master (null): problem registering spi master
dw_spi_mmio: probe of fff00000.spi failed with error -22

What does it mean “could not get #gpio-cells for /soc/gpio@ff708000”?

    /* Basic HW init */
    spi_hw_init(dws);

    ...
    tasklet_init(&dws->pump_transfers, pump_transfers, (unsigned long)dws);
    spi_master_set_devdata(master, dws);
    ret = devm_spi_register_master(dev, master);
    if (ret) {
            dev_err(&master->dev, "problem registering spi master\n");
            goto err_dma_exit;
    }
    ...

I’ve now driver runing with an “ok” dump, but I don’t see anything in /proc/iomem. Why?
I see device now: /dev/spidev0.0

I’ve simplified in the first step the SPI test just with a probes directly on SPI_CLK and SPI_MOSI. I don’t have the ENC28J60 yet connected. I assume on this pins some activity if I run a test program (see kernel source code doc/Documentation/spi/spidev_test.c). I don’t see any level changing. The SPI_CLK is on the GPIO57, the SPI_MOSI on the GPIO58. The settings of these pins is done in the function “board_early_init” (see above).

I did not yet reach a step to test ENC28J60. Before we have prooved it on the raspberrypi. But it is a little bit different HW => different settings.

Is there an easy way to read somehow from linux if the pins settings are configured? I assume the spi peripheral is OK, because I see it in the memory map:

Run in to the same problem, run spidev_test while no level change observed on pins, have you find the easy way to read somehow from linux if the pins settings are configured?
