[PATCH] mtd: rawnand: mxc: set spare area size register explicitly

[PATCH] mtd: rawnand: mxc: set spare area size register explicitly

[Martin Kaiser]

The v21 version of the NAND flash controller contains a Spare Area Size
Register (SPAS) at offset 0x10. Its setting defaults to the maximum
spare area size of 218 bytes. The size that is set in this register is
used by the controller when it calculates the ECC bytes internally in
hardware.

Usually, this register is updated from settings in the IIM fuses when
the system is booting from nand flash. For other boot media, however,
the SPAS register remains at the default setting, which may not work for
the particular flash chip on the board. The same goes for flash chips
whose configuration cannot be set in the IIM fuses (e.g. chips with 2k
sector size and 128 bytes spare area size can't be configured in the IIM
fuses on imx25 systems).

Set the SPAS register explicitly during the preset operation. Derive the
register value from mtd->oobsize that was detected during probe by
decoding the flash chip's ID bytes.

While at it, rename the define for the spare area register's offset to
NFC_V21_RSLTSPARE_AREA. The register at offset 0x10 on v1 controllers is
different from the register on v21 controllers.

I thought I understood the problem with your commit message but
then I don't get this comment. What's the link between 16-bit buses? Is
this preset valid for both 8 and 16-bit bus width?

If this is for dividing per two oobsize value, I would really prefer a
'/ 2' and let the compiler optimize things. Unless the spec is explicit
about some shifting of course.

The register value is unrelated to the bus width.

That's exactly what I wanted to do: mtd->oobsize is in bytes, the
register value must be in 16bit words (the specification uses the term
half-words, I'll update the comment while at it).

Ok, I'll  use / 2 and resend the patch shortly.

the particular corner case that I fixed has never really worked. As my
fix updates the preset operation, I'd suggest adding a Fixes tag pointing
at the first commit that introduced the preset operation.

I'll resend my patch with this tag added.

Set the SPAS register explicitly during the preset operation. Derive the

You could have kept Sacha's R-b, it's not like the patch completely
changed between v1 and v3. Also, just nitpicking, but I prefer when
Fixes and Cc-stable tags are placed before author's SoB. No need
to send a new version for that, I'll fix it when applying.

Thanks,

Boris

[PATCH] mtd: rawnand: mxc: set spare area size register explicitly

[Martin Kaiser]

commit 3f77f244d8ec28e3a0a81240ffac7d626390060c upstream.

The v21 version of the NAND flash controller contains a Spare Area Size
Register (SPAS) at offset 0x10. Its setting defaults to the maximum
spare area size of 218 bytes. The size that is set in this register is
used by the controller when it calculates the ECC bytes internally in
hardware.

Usually, this register is updated from settings in the IIM fuses when
the system is booting from NAND flash. For other boot media, however,
the SPAS register remains at the default setting, which may not work for
the particular flash chip on the board. The same goes for flash chips
whose configuration cannot be set in the IIM fuses (e.g. chips with 2k
sector size and 128 bytes spare area size can't be configured in the IIM
fuses on imx25 systems).

Set the SPAS register explicitly during the preset operation. Derive the
register value from mtd->oobsize that was detected during probe by
decoding the flash chip's ID bytes.

While at it, rename the define for the spare area register's offset to
NFC_V21_RSLTSPARE_AREA. The register at offset 0x10 on v1 controllers is
different from the register on v21 controllers.

Hello Greg,

the file that this patch modifies was renamed after 4.14. This patch
uses the previous name. I tested it to apply to the 4.4, 4.9 and 4.14
stable branches. Could you add it to the queues again?

Thanks & best regards,
Martin
