The content of Bank Address Register (BAR) is volatile. It is cleared
after power cycle or reset command (RESET F0h).

Some memories (like e.g. s25fl256s) use it to access memory larger than
0x1000000 (16 MiB).

The problem shows up when one:

1. Reads/writes/erases memory > 16 MiB
2. Calls "reset" u-boot command (which is not causing BAR to be cleared)

In the above scenario, the SoC ROM sends 0x000000 address to read SPL.
Unfortunately, the BA24 bit is still set and hence it receives content
from 0x1000000 (16 MiB) memory address.
As a result the SoC aborts and we hang. Only power cycle can take the
SoC out of this state.

How to reproduce/test:

sf probe; sf erase 0x1200000 0x800000; reset
sf probe; sf erase 0x1200000 0x800000; sf write 0x11000000 0x1200000 0x800000; reset
sf probe; sf read 0x11000000 0x1200000 0x800000; reset

Sorry, I didn't follow this test.. are you writing on at 18MiB offset
and doing reset how it will reproduce? because we can write it 0x0 and
after reset the ROM look for 16MiB on this flash this is what you
concern about right?

thanks!

Please start with erase test case first.

The problem shows up when you try to access SPI-NOR memory > 16 MiB.
It works with current code, since BAR is adjusted properly.

Then after this access (without removing power), please type 'reset' 
command.

You will observe, that the board will not boot (if SPI-NOR is a booting 
device).

The problem is that ROM bootloader tries to access 0x0 address, but BA24 
(in the SPI-NOR controller)  is programmed from last operation (to 0x1). 
Hence, the ROM Boot reads from 0x1000000 address.

The problem is with not clearing bit BA24 after each operation. This 
causes hangs after "reset" command.

And maybe some explanation why and how it was discovered.

I was storing in u-boot rootfs on SPI-NOR. This data crossed 16 MiB 
boundary on my Spansion memory.
After this operation I wanted to move forward with factory setup 
procedure and executed "reset".

The board hanged and I had to power cycle it to have it working again.

Yes, I understand ROM look at 16MiB, but the test-case you have erase
is from 18MiB right, it should be 0x0 on the test case right?

No it is correct.

The value 0x12000000 must only be > 16 MiB. After accessing this 
location, the BA24 bit is set.

Then after "reset" the BA24 is still set and hence BOOT ROM reads from 
wrong address.

OK, I was thinking in other way around even that has similar issue.
