[PATCH] mtd: spi-nor: Add support for BoHong bh25q128as

[PATCH] mtd: spi-nor: Add support for BoHong bh25q128as

[David Bauer]

Add MTD support for the BoHong bh25q128as SPI NOR chip.
The chip has 16MB of total capacity, divided into a total of 256
sectors, each 64KB sized. The chip also supports 4KB sectors.
Additionally, it supports dual and quad read modes.

Functionality was verified on an Tenbay WR1800K / MTK MT7621 board.

I guess this could be dropped. There is no much left from these in this

I couldn't find "BoHong" in JEP106BC. 0x68 (without continuation codes)
is "Convex Computer". So this is wrong. OTOH I'm not sure, how many
SPI flashes "convex computer" have, if any ;) This company was brought
by HP in the end.

In any case, this patch depends on how we handle continuation codes or
if we can handle them at all. Or if this flash just lie about its
manufacturer id and don't and CC.

First of all, BoHong and Boya microelectronics seems to be the same company, as their
datasheets seem to copy each other. There's not much information about either of both,
so I'd say that's a fair assumption.

Regarding the continuation codes, Boya is listed in bank nine, however in this case I
should currently read an all 0x7f ID shouldn't I? The datasheet also only specifies 3
bytes as a return value for register 0x9fh :(

I'd guess so, yes.

Yeah. So, this flash falls into the same category "simply hijacks
a manuf id" as all the other flashes.

We still need to come up with a solution for this problem.

From a quick check, this is also be the case for GigaDevices and XMC.

My spontaneous idea would be to extend support for JEDEC IDs to read
the up to 9 banks of the vendor ID and fix up the existing offenders.

To not break existing boards, we could either skip the continuation
bytes of the kernel ID definitions for all flash chips or flag the
already existing ones and only perform this on such flagged chips.

Personally, I'd say that only performing this on existing chips would
be better, as new vendors with this violation scheme might probably
appear and cause conflicts.

As we still lack auto detection for new chips with that, configuring
the flash chip used with the chip name via DT would allow to set the
exact chip used and also validate if the manufacturer / product after
the continuation bits matches the one read from the chip.

What do you think?

you mean gigadevices and xmc? I'd presume they are also lacking the
continuation bytes.

If you'd ask me, unless there is a real world conflict, I'd just go
ahead and add them as is. If there is a conflict we'd need to find
a per device resolution for it.

There is another problem: shared device ids per vendor. Some (most?)
flash vendor share device ids on "similar" flashes, which we still
need tell apart in the kernel. So technically, this is the same problem
as with non-existing continuation bytes. Two different flashes sharing
the same id. For now, we look for differences in the SFDP.

Right now, the flash is probed first by its id and the the SFDP is
read and parsed. There are ideas to first read the SFDP. Having this
might come in handy here, too. Eg. we could fingerprint the flash
by its SFDP.

I know Vingesh is working on the continuation bytes stuff. So I might
be late to the party ;)

Regarding the device tree compatibles, the maintainers doesn't like
that very much. Maybe as a last resort method.

Correct, same story with them.

Okay, I'll resend a v2 with the removed copyright then.

I was also thinking about that and we're also already bitten by identical
JEDEC IDs for different models. It's really a pity that there is no real
unique model identifier for us to use, which is not hacked to support
legacy implementations like with this chip :(

Could you also apply my SFDP patch [1] and send the dump (if there
is any)? Unfortunately, I can't think of a good way to do that along
with the patch and if this in some way regarded as copyrighted material.
So feel free to send it to me privately. I'm starting to build a
database.

Unfortunately, they aren't legacy and new chips still have this
behavior..

Bad news, I'm not able to get a SFDP with your patches, as the SFDP extraction
fails at the version check.

Is there anything else I can try?

So no SFDP data?
Have you tried to read more of ID bytes, maybe there's an extended ID? Please
dump 15 bytes of ID.

what's the difference between by25q128as and bh25q128as? I see they share the
same flash ID.

I've got the by25q128as, so I compiled the SFDP and sysfs patch kernel
to read it out.

figgyc@figgyc-pi:~ $ ls /sys/class/spi_master/spi0/spi0.0/spi-nor/
jedec_id  manufacturer  partname
$ cat /sys/class/spi_master/spi0/spi0.0/spi-nor/jedec_id
684018
$ cat /sys/class/spi_master/spi0/spi0.0/spi-nor/manufacturer
boya
$ cat /sys/class/spi_master/spi0/spi0.0/spi-nor/partname
by25q128as
(this is using my patch for the chip support)

There was no sfdp file for me either, failed the version check like
David's chip (I added a dev_dbg to check).

One thing I noticed reading the datasheet[1] again was this line:
"Security Register 0 can be used to store the Flash Discoverable
Parameters, The feature is upon special order, please contact Boya
Microelectronics for details."
The same line is also present in the BoHong datasheet but it says
HuaHong instead of Boya. That makes me wonder if the meaning of
"Discoverable Parameters (SFDP) register" in the datasheet does not
actually mean that it has SFDP data programmed in by default, which
would be quite strange, but if true then that would be quite annoying
because then I don't think there are any differences between Boya and
BoHong. Very strange design decision in my opinion but it is what it
is.

The only other explanation I could think of is that erasing the chip
might erase security register 0? Unfortunately I only have one chip so
I can't test that. Even if that were the case it would still be
unhelpful.

I dumped extra ID in a previous email thread, IIRC it just loops, no
extra 7f bytes like there should be.

In conclusion it seems to me as though the two chips behave
identically, there's probably no way to know for certain though without
asking the manufacturer.

Then it seems it doesn't have SFDP.

I'd say it is exactly this. There is no SFDP. only on "special request", I guess that means "we were too lazy and if there is a client big enough we'll do it".

There should be a special command to erase security registers, aka OTP. Winbond does the same, just return the first security register content if you send a RDSFDP. Just that it's programmed by default and the data sheet doesn't mention security register 0 (and treat it as reserved).

This should be dropped, too. Otherwise looks good, if SFDP is not

This should be dropped, too. Otherwise looks good, if SFDP is not
supported.

[PATCH] mtd: spi-nor: Add support for BoHong bh25q128as

[Christian Marangi]

From: David Bauer <mail@david-bauer.net>

Add MTD support for the BoHong bh25q128as SPI NOR chip.
The chip has 16MB of total capacity, divided into a total of 256
sectors, each 64KB sized. The chip also supports 4KB sectors.
Additionally, it supports dual and quad read modes.

Datasheet is public and can be found here [1].

Functionality was verified on an Tenbay WR1800K / MTK MT7621 board.
