Subject: [U-Boot] [RFC PATCH 0/6] SF: Migrate to Linux SPI NOR framework
Date: Wed, 28 Nov 2018 22:56:01 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20181128172607.10179-1-vigneshr@ti.com> (raw)

U-Boot SPI NOR support (sf layer) is quite outdated as it does not
support 4 byte addressing opcodes, SFDP table and different types of
quad mode enable sequences. Many newer flashes no longer support BANK
registers use by sf layer to a access >16MB space.
Also, many SPI controllers have special MMIO interfaces which provide
accelerated read/write access but require knowledge of flash parameters
to make use of it. Recent spi-mem layer provides a way to support such
flashes but sf layer isnt using that.
This patch series syncs SPI NOR framework from Linux v4.19. It also adds
spi-mem support on top.
So, we gain 4byte addressing support and SFDP support. This makes
migrating to U-Boot MTD framework very easy.

Tested with few Spansion, micron and macronix flashes with TI's dra7xx,
k2g, am43xx EVMs. I dont have access to flashes from other vendors. So,
I would greatly appreciate testing on other platforms.

This is a RFC, if this approach if fine with the community and get an
early feedback. Based on the response, I plan to post
official series with better splitting of patches, removing all dead code
and fixing up any checkpatch errors.
