[U-Boot] [PATCH 2/2] sf: Preserve QE bit when clearing BP# bits for Macronix flash

[Bin Meng]

On some flash (like Macronix), QE (quad enable) bit is in the same
status register as BP# bits, and we need preserve its original value
during a reboot cycle as this is required by some platforms (like
Intel ICH SPI controller working under descriptor mode).

It doesn't make sense to have one(specific) controller fix to be
generic to all macronix chips, think about alternative.

This is no way to fix at the controller level. Actually this is
nothing related to controller level. It's just the bootstrap settings
(QE bit in this case) that cannot be overwritten by someone else
(although it's seen on Intel, it might happen on some other
architecture). The logic in the codes are having issues. Its comment
says: clear BP# bits, but it clears QE bit for Macronix flash as well,
which is wrong. The update was just to make sure the codes do as what
its comment says.

If you have any other alternative, please suggest.

Bin

Ping again..

Can you please comment on this? I would like this patch gets in the
upcoming release.

Wait for sometime, I've queue that I need to review-it and respond
accordingly patches with latest may take some time. And commenting
yes will respond soon.

Can you please respond with a reasonable time frame (ie: when you will

I believe QEB is same position for all Macronix chips, checked few
parts true? what if the supported chips from id tables doesn't have
QEB at-all means specific chip support upto dual?

Correct, QEB is in the same position (bit6) for all Macronix chips. If
a chipset that does not support QEB, that bit (bit6) is reserved, and
current patch still works.

So current patch can correctly handle both situations. The issue here
is that what we do here for the status register does NOT conform the
comment. We only wanted to clear the #BP bits. We should NOT clear the
QEB bit at all.

Better assign sr with QEB for macronix and call write_sr once.

For these Macronix flashes that does not support quard RW, QEB bit is
reserved. Writing 1 to a reserved bit is not a good practice.

Yeah, i.e what I'm concern here. (apart from fixing comment) this
issue came-up with your controller along with specific connected chip
which support RW WEB.

What if we couldn't preserve QEB? because if user need quad operation
anyway code will check QEB if not it will enable.

thanks!

As I said, this is nothing related to the SPI controller driver. It
can (technically) happen on other platforms. I don't understand what
your concerns here. Your suggestion of writing SR once does not work.

The board simply bricks after a successful boot once. Because the QE
bit is cleared by U-Boot during this successful boot, next time when
the board powers-up, the SoC won't get a valid bootstrap setting from
SPI flash. The bootstrap settings are stored in the SPI flash and
there is a QE bit enable in the bootstrap setting. When SoC finds out
the QE bit is turned on in the bootstrap setting but SPI flash's QE
bit is off, the SoC refuses to boot.

Sadly, this discussion ends to nowhere again. Can you please indicate
your clear opinion on how to proceed?

OK, then lets proceed with this.

finally, I've made a change for easy readability [1], If you're OK I
will apply this otherwise suggest any?
