Macronix MX25L12805D supports locking with 4 block
protection bits in its status register. Add the corresponding
flag in order to clear these bits when unloking the flash.
Otherwise, the flash might not be writable depending on the state
left by the bootloader.
Tested-on: Ubiquiti UniFi AC Lite (ath79)
Fixes commit 62593cf40b23 ("mtd: spi-nor: refactor block protection functions")

This should also be in the subject, it should rather be "enable locking support" or something similar. Btw. these bits are non-volatile, so if your bootloader will set them again, depending on the flash and your reboot cycles, they might wear out. > Signed-off-by: David Bauer <mail@david-bauer.net> With that: Reviewed-by: Michael Walle <michael@walle.cc> -michael > --- > drivers/mtd/spi-nor/macronix.c | 3 ++- > 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) > > diff --git a/drivers/mtd/spi-nor/macronix.c > b/drivers/mtd/spi-nor/macronix.c > index 2d39dd32a64e..ed8b56a0102f 100644 > --- a/drivers/mtd/spi-nor/macronix.c > +++ b/drivers/mtd/spi-nor/macronix.c > @@ -50,7 +50,8 @@ static const struct flash_info macronix_parts[] = { > { "mx25u4035", INFO(0xc22533, 0, 64 * 1024, 8, SECT_4K) }, > { "mx25u8035", INFO(0xc22534, 0, 64 * 1024, 16, SECT_4K) }, > { "mx25u6435f", INFO(0xc22537, 0, 64 * 1024, 128, SECT_4K) }, > - { "mx25l12805d", INFO(0xc22018, 0, 64 * 1024, 256, SECT_4K) }, > + { "mx25l12805d", INFO(0xc22018, 0, 64 * 1024, 256, SECT_4K | > + SPI_NOR_HAS_LOCK | SPI_NOR_4BIT_BP) }, > { "mx25l12855e", INFO(0xc22618, 0, 64 * 1024, 256, 0) }, > { "mx25r1635f", INFO(0xc22815, 0, 64 * 1024, 32, > SECT_4K | SPI_NOR_DUAL_READ | ______________________________________________________ Linux MTD discussion mailing list http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-mtd/ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread

You're right. On a second read, the description is a bit off, part of the reason being the patch was part of another series from me some moths ago. I'll fix that. > > This should also be in the subject, it should rather be "enable locking > support" or something similar. > > Btw. these bits are non-volatile, so if your bootloader will set > them again, depending on the flash and your reboot cycles, they might > wear out. I didn't knew that, thanks for this information. Sadly this is the quirk of the bootloader from Ubiquiti. Some versions of their UniFi and all of their AirMax series behave like that.
