1.) Why add a new framework for SPI NOR?
The SPI-NOR controller such as Freescale's Quadspi controller is working
in a different way from the SPI bus. It should knows the NOR commands to
find the right LUT sequence. Unfortunately, the current code can not meet
this requirement.
2.) How does this patch set do?
This patch set adds a new spi-nor layer.
Before this patch, the layer is like:
MTD
------------------------
m25p80
------------------------
spi bus driver
------------------------
SPI NOR chip
After this patch, the layer is like:
MTD
------------------------
spi-nor
------------------------
m25p80
------------------------
spi bus driver
------------------------
SPI NOR chip
With the spi-nor controller driver(Freescale Quadspi), it looks like:
MTD
------------------------
spi-nor
------------------------
fsl-quadspi
------------------------
SPI NOR chip
3.) more details
This patch set adds a new data structrue spi_nor{}, clones most the common
code to spi-nor.c. Make the m25p80.c use the new APIs.
4.) TODO list:
3.1) add the new spi_nor_device{} for the spi-nor controller's device.
3.2) add the Freescale Quadspi driver.

This patch adds a new header :spi-nor.h,
and moves all the SPI NOR commands and relative macros into this new header.
This hearder can be used by the m25p80.c and other spi-nor controller,
such as Freescale's Quadspi.

The spi_nor{} is cloned from the m25p{}.
The spi_nor{} can be used by both the m25p80 and spi-nor controller.
1) Add four hooks:
@read_reg: used to read the registers, such as read status register,
read ID, read configure register.
@write_reg: used to write the registers, such as write enable,
erase sector.
@read: use the proper read opcode to read out the data from the NOR.
@write: use the proper write opcode to write data to the NOR.
2) Add a new field sst_write_second for the SST NOR write.
3) change the @command field from pointer to array which makes the code
more simple.

This patch cloned most of the m25p80.c. In theory, it adds a new spi-nor layer.
Before this patch, the layer is like:
MTD
------------------------
m25p80
------------------------
spi bus driver
------------------------
SPI NOR chip
After this patch, the layer is like:
MTD
------------------------
spi-nor
------------------------
m25p80
------------------------
spi bus driver
------------------------
SPI NOR chip
With the spi-nor controller driver(Freescale Quadspi), it looks like:
MTD
------------------------
spi-nor
------------------------
fsl-quadspi
------------------------
SPI NOR chip
New APIs:
spi_nor_register: used to register a spi-nor flash.
spi_nor_unregister: used to unregister a spi-nor flash.
The m25p80 and spi-nor controller driver should implement the hooks
@read_reg, @write_reg, @write, @read.

Hi Shijie,

It's better to take all Flash vendor specific opcodes from DT..
With new framework we should do away with macros for each vendor,
instead let each board file provide this information based on flash device
which is mounted on it.
(2)
And also, I suggest not to touch m25p80 in anyway, bcoz it stable driver
used by many. So unless spi-nor framework is accepted and is stable we
m25p80 should continue working as it is.
Thus your patches should be independent of any existing driver or other
frameworks. This way it might get accepted fast. Then later you can provide
a way to attach m25p80 to spi-nor framework.
Thoughts ?
with regards, pekon

Hi Pekon:

firstly, some arch may does not support the DT, such as x86.
second, it makes people crazy if we put the opcodes in the DT :)

the merge window is closed not long ago, and we have rc1 now.
Isn't it the BEST time to change the m25p80?

Sorry. no 'M25P80' suffix here this is spi-nor.h :-)

mtd_info should not be present here. Rather it should be other way round
'mtd_info->priv = (struct spi_nor *) spi_nor;

Again, spi_nor would be a MTD device, not a new type of device on its own.
Thus you should use, mtd_info->dev.

(agree .. there is nothing in the name, but it matches SPI generic framework)

Do you need 'opcode' passed in argument here ?
Can you add it as 'read_reg_opcode' field in struct spi_nor ?
'read_reg_opcode' should be fixed for a device like a 'read_flash_opcode'.

Instead of having actual 'command[]' array in struct spi_nor, and pass its

int (*write_reg)(struct spi_nor *flash, u8 *cmd, u32 cmd_len);
where
cmd[0] == command_opcode
cmd[1] == command argument 1 (like offset for erase)
cmd[2] == command argument 2

Hi Huang Shijie,
I have not gone through your proposal in detail yet, but I just wanted to say I
fully support the motivation behind an update to the way Serial Flash is handled
in the kernel. Looking at the various drivers supporting Serial Flash, it is
obvious that the current framework is not adequate. Some have chosen to
implement standalone drivers, in driver/mtd/devices, duplicating much of
m25p80.c, while others have attempted to squeeze dedicated Serial Flash
Controllers within the generic SPI framework, often requiring fragile heuristics
to re-create the semantics of m25p80 which are lost over the SPI framework.
I will try to go through the patches in the next couple of days -- I have many
pending tasks at present!
Cheers,
Angus

I would agree. Where possible, I think it's preferable for the driver to probe
device properties at runtime. One benefit, often overlooked, is that it allows
board manufacturers to second-source parts without having to rebuild, and
possibly re-certify, binaries.

The spi-nor framework has great potential, but I think you should allow some
time for other driver developers to comment, and the framework to mature.
Without greater support, it risks becoming another single-use framework.

current dummy is 8 clock cycles for quad-read/fast-read, but for DDR
QUAD read, the dummy is not 8 clock cycles.
so i did not add this field to spi-nor{}.
I do not know how the m25p80 handle the non-8 clock cycles cases...
But it's okay to me to add this field to spi-nor{}.

do the write need a dummy?
I check the s25fl128s's quad page program, it does not need a dummy.

the @read_reg can be used to read id, read status and so on.
so the opcode here is not a fixed value.

you will use a local array in the stack.
why not use the spi_nor->command which has used for a long time.

Is there any kind of documentation for this controller available? I cannot quite
understand how this controller works and why can it not be used with our current
infrastructure.

I would approach this the other way around -- first I'd split the common code
out from m25p80 driver and then I'd add my own driver which uses the common
code. Then we won't have to review the common code (or such a large chunk of it
anyway) again.
But I am still not too sure we need this new framework at all, I will wait for
your reply on 0/4 .

I do have a similar requirement where my controller need to be configured
from slave info. I have submiited a series in the mtd list adding that
portion
of handling such cases. Here, is the patch which specific to m25p80 part.

Is this TI QSPI the same thing as the Altera QSPI controller please ?
Otherwise, I seriously believe you and Huang should work on a common
infrastructure. I would first like to understand how is the controller in DRA7xx
different from regular SPI controller though. Is there any kind of documentation
I could study please?

OK, I am 200% positive you need to add comments into the structure about what
exactly does each member of it mean AND it would be nice if you could rename
them to have less generic names (like spi_dev instead of dev).
Thanks ! :)

Sorry, we dont have a public document yet.
Though, this is what ti qspi contoller has
It supports two modes of operation, one is SPI mode(normal), other is
the memory mapped read mode.
For SPI mode, the state machine remains the same as it is with other spi
controller
available.
For memory mapped, there is something more which we need to do around ..
1. There is a qspi "set up" register available, which needs to be filled
with
information like flash opcode, dummy bytes etc. In short, flash
specific
details.
2 if the above register is configured with the required opcodes, then
whenever
we need to use memory mapped operations, we need to do is to
switch our
qspi controller to memory mapped mode.
Switching of this mode to memory mapped needs
a ) write to a particular qspi register
b) write to control module(optional based on SOC).
3. Once the above steps are configured, then the flash data will be
mapped to a
particular memory address(SOC specific) from where the flash data
can be read.
The series
https://www.mail-archive.com/linux-omap@vger.kernel.org/msg98691.html
tries to work on the above features, and tries to add a support for the
same in the
spi framework and m25p80 code.
As you see in my patches, once we take care of the above points and add
support
for memory mapped in m25p80 and qspi, then while doing a read in m25p80
we can
do memcpy at the beginning of m25p80_read and can bypass the entire SPI
framework for memory mapped read operation. Throughput almost gets
doubles with this,
as compared to normal SPI operations.
Please get back, if you need more info on this concept.

I fully support your argument for introducing a new framework to support Serial
Flash controllers. Reiterating my previous comment:
"The kernel offers many examples of others who have struggled with the same
problem. Some have chosen to write self-contained drivers (e.g.
drivers/mtd/devices/spear_smi.c and drivers/mtd/devices/sst251.c) duplicating
much of m25p80.c, while others have attempted to squeeze into the SPI framework
(e.g. drivers/spi/spi-tegra20-sflash.c and drivers/spi/spi-falcon.c), relying on
fragile heuristics to recreate the semantics of m25p80 that is lost over the ,
current circumstances SPI framework ."
However, having now been through your proposed framework, it would not seem to
provide a generally applicable solution. Indeed, other than making the Serial
Flash commands and the device table available, it is not obvious how it improves
the situation for your own specific controller either; the
read/write/read_reg/write_reg callbacks do not offer a great deal more than
spi_read_then_write(). (Perhaps all will become clear when you submit the
fsl-quadspi driver.)
As I see it, the main problem with the current support is that dedicated Serial
Flash Controllers require a level of semantics that cannot be conveyed over the
generic SPI framework. With this in mind, I would start by defining something
along the lines of a "Serial Flash transfer". Some initial ramblings of my mind:
/**
* struct spi_nor_xfer_cfg - Structure for defining a Serial Flash transfer
* @wren: command for "Write Enable", or 0x00 for not required
* @cmd: command for operation
* @cmd_pins: number of pins to send @cmd (1, 2, 4)
* @addr: address for operation
* @addr_pins: number of pins to send @addr (1, 2, 4)
* @addr_width: number of address bytes (3,4, or 0 for address not required)
* @mode: mode data
* @mode_pins: number of pins to send @mode (1, 2, 4)
* @mode_cycles: number of mode cycles (0 for mode not required)
* @dummy_cycles: number of dummy cycles (0 for dummy not required)
*/
struct spi_nor_xfer_cfg {
uint8_t wren;
uint8_t cmd;
int cmd_pins;
uint32_t addr;
int addr_pins;
int addr_width;
uint32_t mode;
int mode_pins;
int mode_cycles;
int dummy_cycles;
};
We could then build up layers of functionality, based on two fundamental primitives:
int (*read_xfer)(struct spi_nor_info *info,
struct spi_nor_xfer_cfg *cfg,
uint8_t *buf, size_t len);
int (*write_xfer)(struct spi_nor_info *info,
struct spi_nor_xfer_cfg *cfg,
uint8_t *buf, size_t len);
Default implementations for standard operations could follow:
int (*read_reg)(struct spi_nor_info *info,
uint8_t cmd, uint8_t *reg, int len);
int (*write_reg)(struct spi_nor_info *info,
uint8_t cmd, uint8_t *reg, int len,
int wren, int wtr);
int (*readid)(struct spi_nor_info *info, uint8_t *readid);
int (*wait_till_ready)(struct spi_nor_info *info);
int (*read)(struct spi_nor_info *info, uint8_t buf, off_t offs, size_t len);
int (*write)(struct spi_nor_info *info, off_t offs, size_t len);
int (*erase_sector)(struct spi_nor_info *info, off_t offs);
Each driver would be required to implement read_xfer() and write_xfer(), and
then free to either use the default implementations, or override with
driver-optimised implementations.
In the case of a pure SPI Controller, read_xfer() and write_xfer() would simply
flatten to spi_messages. The key benefit is that dedicated Serial Flash
Controllers would be able to take advantage of the richer semantics offered by
the 'spi_nor_xfer_cfg' data.
I would also expect the spi-nor framework to provide the following services,
applicable to all Serial Flash drivers:
- determine devices properties at runtime, based on the READID data (and
perhaps SFDP, if and when it matures!). This should include supported opcodes
(e.g. READ_1_1_4, READ_1_4_4, READ4B_1_1_4...), operating frequencies, mode and
dummy requirements, means of setting Quad Enable, entering/exiting 4-byte
addressing etc.
- provide optimal read, write and erase configurations, based on the combined
capabilities of the Serial Flash device and the H/W Controller.
- device specific configuration (e.g. setting QE, unlock BPx bits, DYB unlocking).
Getting back to reality, I realise undertaking such a task would be a huge
commitment. I would be keen to put forward my own proposal, but current
circumstances mean that that is unlikely to happen any time soon.
I guess in summary, while I am pleased that this area is being looked at, my own
feeling is that proposed framework needs to be reworked for it to be generally
applicable to other Serial Flash controllers. Of course, another option would
be to stick with what is currently offered, and make do.
Cheers,
Angus

this field has been in the spi_nor{} , it should be a fixed value.

Currently there is no uniformity between different vendors to R/W Status
and Config registers. Also the layout and functionality of various fields in
Status and Config register vary from vendor to vendor. So, either you can
define this for-each vendor.. Or let each driver handle it separately.

Yes, there are multiple types of erase commands..
(1) sector erase.
(2) block erase.
(3) bulk erase or chip erase.

Issuing WREN is needed for certain sequences of operations. I guess your
question relates to why have I included it as part of the 'spi_nor_xfer_cfg'
structure, when it could be controlled from the spi_nor layer with a separate
spi_nor_xfer.
Well, firstly, I am aware of at least one H/W controller that can be optimised
to issue the WREN command as part of a longer erase or write sequence, thereby
avoiding the overheads of issuing a separate spi_nor_xfer.
However, the main reason was to try and come up with a generic representation
for a typical Serial Flash transfer, capturing, where possible, the semantics of
the intended operation, just in case that information can be used by the
underlying H/W in some way. In this instance, the WREN cycles just represents
another part of the transfer, in the same way as the command, address, mode, and
dummy cycles.

The aim of the 'spi_nor_xfer_cfg' is to provide an interface between the spi-nor
layer and the underlying H/W driver. In some cases, the H/W may need to know
the address width (e.g. issuing a new command sequence, with an incremented
address, following an arbitration stall). You could argue that the H/W driver
should be able query the spi_nor structure, or perhaps store the addr_width
field during an initialisation process, but I feel having it as part of the
'spi_nor_xfer_cfg' provides a cleaner interface between the two layers.

The default implementation would do just as you suggest, and I would expect most
H/W drivers to use the default implementation. However, some H/W Controllers
can automate the polling of status registers, so having a hook allows the driver
override the default behaviour.

Serial Flash devices support various "Erase Sector" commands, and an "Erase
Chip" command. The erase_sector() and erase_chip() hooks would just form the
appropriate command sequences (e.g. Erase Chip does not require address cycles).
I have to admit, the circumstances that provoke an erase_chip() are rather
limited. As far as I can see, the MTD tool 'mtd_debug' is the only component
that can lead to an Erase Chip operation, and even then, only when the device is
not partitioned. However, m25p80 supports Erase Chip, so I thought I would
maintain that support here.
As I said before, my proposal was just some initial ramblings of my mind, and I
am definitely open to discussion and other suggestions.
To be honest, I am just glad that someone is taking a look at this area.
However, whether or not is it possible to come up with something that solves all
our problems remains to be seen. It might turn out that the various H/W
Controllers are just too different to fit into a single unified framework.
Cheers,
Angus

OK, but is the memory mapped mode of any use (but for booting I suppose) ? How
does it handle large SPI NOR flashes (we have spansion devices as big as
128MiB), does it really hog a _large_ amount of address space from the CPU
address space ? Or is the operation somehow indexed ? Why is it better than
using DMA?

I checked the VYBRIDRM.pdf datasheet. I grok down that the thing Vybrid does is
it has such a lookup table. The table has 16 slots , each can contain up to 8
SPI NOR instructions . These instructions are programmed when the driver
probe()s I suppose. To do a communication with the SPI NOR, you give the
controller an index in this lookup table and it will execute this pre-programmed
sequence of commands on the SPI NOR.
So yes, your API would work nicely with Vybrid. I agree about read_reg() and
write_reg() functions, they will be needed for reading the standard CR/SR etc
registers on the SPI NOR and also SPI NOR specific cruft if need be. As for
readid(), I wonder if we cannot implement it via some generalized read_reg()
call, I suspect we can for starters. Same goes for wait_till_read(), let's
implement it in the spi-nor framework first and only if a piece of hardware can
speed this up significantly by re-implementing it itself, they will change the
framework.
The read() and write() calls are nice, something like mmap() might be
interesting here as well, since based on what Poddar explained, his controller
can somehow map the SPI flash into the CPU address space. I don't know how this
should work precisely, but again, this can be left until such controller driver
hits mainline and the benefits of such implementation would become obvious.
Finally, the erase_sector() call would probably need to be extended. I would
rename it to simple erase(), since we can erase from sub-sectors (4K) to whole
chip.
btw. I really like the idea of the new SPI NOR framework. The M25P80 driver
could then be rewritten and plugged into the SPI NOR framework just like any
other SPI NOR controller driver with "advanced capabilities".

Talking about read-write-erase, why don't we -- instead of passing buffer --
pass a scatterlist ? I suppose that might make it easier for these "advanced"
controller to do DMA on it.

I'd love to take this on, but I need to flush my pipeline first ;-( Besides, it
seems we have an abundance of good engineers here already, so maybe someone will
actually write it ;-)

Hi Angus & Pekon:
thanks for the explanations.
I am not sure that after we add more hooks, if it will meet Jones's new
driver.
i will wait for Jones' comment for several days, and send out the next
version if he does not reply this thread.
thanks

Angus is the author of "Lee's" driver and knows more about it that I
ever will, so whatever he says goes in that regard.
I would like to make a suggestion to Brian though. Even if the new
framework is written within the next couple of months and the
semantics do suit the FSM Controller driver, I'd still like the
implementation that's currently on the list to be applied. That way
we'd have a known good version of the driver which is almost identical
to how ST's internal driver does now. The one that is present out in
the wild (i.e. _real_ products).
I will subsequently volunteer to provide my utmost best efforts to
port the driver over to the new framework as a new task once it has
landed.

Memory mapped will be of use whenever we try to read the flash content.
Instead of going through the entire SPI framework, and raising
interrupts, we can
memcpy the flash contents. I am using it for mounting a jffs2 filesystem.
For me the memory mapped regions are like in the range 5c000000 -
5fffffff, so
I can handle flash as large as 64MB.
As far as its comparison with DMA is concerned, I cant comment much
about it.
My Qspi controller does not support DMA :(:(. So, memory mapped becomes the
best option option for me.

OK, understood. So to sling large chunks of memory from SPI NOR to your DRAM,
you need to issue these two steps in a loop:
1) write into the controller register the starting address of the SPI flash
which you want to have available via the mmap interface
2) memcpy() from this mmaped area to DRAM
correct? Won't the second step be pretty CPU-intensive?

No, we dont need to write the starting address in any register.
1. we need to write opcodes(flash specific) in a qspi set up register.
2. Switch to mmap mode using qspi SWITCH register.
Memory mapped address need to be avilable though to m25p80_read api to
do memcpy, which is currently done by get_buf api.
We dont need to do the steps in a loop.
Point1 above is one time configurable.
point2 above need to be done whenever we want to use mmap operations.
memcpy(buf, base_addr + from, len) , where len <= min(FLASH_SIZE, MMAP
region)

OK, but how does this handle for example Spansion S70FL01GS , which is 1 GBit
SPI NOR (128MB) if your memory map window is only 64MB?

OK, got it.

OK, but copying the SPI NOR will be pretty CPU intensive, correct? You'd need to
do memcpy() on a full 64MB of stuff on the CPU. I mean, that's what we had DMA
for thus far, so the CPU can do more useful things.

So, the code added in m25p80 does not care about the flash size. It
works for me
for 64MB flash spansion (S25fl256s) and Macronix( mx66l51235l, 128 MB)
flash.
That memory mapped region info will from device tree. You can see
patch16/17) of my
series.
so in m25p80_read,
memcpy(buf, base + from, len)
where,
base= memmaped base region
ex: ioremap(0x5c000000)
len = can be anything, (64mb, 128 mb etc..). Just we need to
make sure that we have ioremapped the required region through dt.
For me, SOC takes care of the memory mapped region required.
DRA7xx board with 64mb spansion flash has mmap region (5c000000 - 5fffffff)
AM43x board with 128mb macronix flash has mmap region (30000000 - 33fffffff)

Yes, but there is no DMA available for my controller.

I think this is the best way to describe the issue, and approach the
solution.
We should be looking to extend the generic SPI framework to support what
we need, rather than hacking around it purely on the MTD side.
As such, I'd be very interested in Mark's thoughts on it...

You mean 0x3000_0000 - 0x33ff_ffff (with one less 'f'), or am I wrong? But
0x0400_0000 is only 64MiB, how can this map 128MiB SPI NOR? I am still not
connecting with you here, I am sorry.
Does the QSPI controller simply chomp away N MiB of CPU address space? How big
is the maximum N here ? I was under the impression that N=64 , but now I am a
bit confused by your claim that you can use 128 MiB SPI NOR.

Sorry on my side for confusing you. I got confused with macronix

I guess you add the 'wren' for the issuing write-enable before issuing
the 'cmd'.
but what's 'wtr' for? i do not know what's the meaning of the 'wtr'.

'wtr' is for "Wait 'til Ready". Some register writes are instant, while others
require polling of the "Write In Progress" bit.

Unless a register is controlling a status of internal state-machine, or something
It should be instantaneously writable.
Also polling should not be part of this particular *(write_reg), if a register
needs to be polled then it should be part of *(write) or *(read) .. Like
WIP: Write-in-progress bit of flash
generic_flash_write(...) {
while ((read_reg(STATUS_REG) & WIP) || ~timeout) {
timeout--;
};
With this it just came to my mind, that you also need a 'timeout' field
in 'struct spinor-cfg'. This is because different controllers would be
running at different clock speeds (and different SPI_CLK frequencies).
So they need to specify a 'timeout' value for all polling accesses.
with regards, pekon

Yes, that is my point. Some register writes are instant, other are not,
particularly those that involve non-volatile status or configuration bits.

I am in two minds about where the WTR loop should live. On the one hand, moving
it to the "generic_flash_write()" call offers H/W controllers the opportunity to
optimise the polling, if they support such a feature (I know of some that will
in the future).
However, requiring the H/W driver to perform the polling, including knowledge of
the STATUS CMD, and the WIP bit-field, just seems like moving too much
"intelligence" away from the spi-nor layer. What concerns me is when we get on
to reading/clearing error flags (as now mandated on some Serial Flash devices,
e.g. n25p512 and n25q00a), this will also need to be part of the generic write.
> With this it just came to my mind, that you also need a 'timeout' field

Yes, that is a good point.
I would propose that the spi-nor layer retains responsibility for determining
whether or not 'WTR' is required for a particular operation, and a suitable
timeout. At some point, during initialisation, the H/W driver will need to
inform the spi-nor layer about its capabilities (e.g. support for DUAL or QUAD
mode, any warm-reset requirements, etc), and native support of WIP polling could
be part of this set. The spi-nor layer could then decide whether to add the WTR
flag and timeout to the spinor-cfg transfer, or to take responsibility itself,
and execute its own polling loop. This gives greatest flexibility, which seems
to be an important factor, while retaining the knowledge in the spi-nor layer.
Cheers,
Angus

I disagree we should bloat the API with features, that will be used by "possible
future controllers" or "possible single controller", right from the start. The
real question here is, can the API be designed in such a way, that the SR
polling will happen in software NOW and only when a controller appears that can
do polling in HW will the API be extended to support it ?

Hmm, I thought we already had (some form of) this explanation
weeks/months ago, yet the conclusion was that Mark doesn't want this in
the SPI framework at all, since a dedicated Serial Flash Controller is
not truly SPI. But perhaps I'm wrong.
On this topic, I have one more stick to throw on this fire; I have some
Broadcom hardware that consists of two pieces:
(1) a true SPI controller, with single-line-I/O and
(2) a Serial Flash controller that can accelerate flash read, using
dual/quad I/O.
The latter hardware cannot handle flash writes, only uses quad I/O for
data (not addresses), has some other peculiarities specific to SPI
flash, and is highly dependent on the former for providing complete SPI
flash support. My current driver is not really upstream-ready, since
(like Huang's original driver), it pretends to be a SPI driver yet
requires "incestuous knowledge" of m25p80 / MTD. But I hope that any new
framework can support hardware like mine.
I don't have public documentation for this hardware, but I can provide
more detail if desired.
I mostly bring this up, though, because it is an example of hardware
that
(a) can operate as a true SPI device (hardware (1) can handle generic
SPI transfers), but
(b) requires knowledge of the details of SPI flash in order to get
optimal usage out of the acceleration from (2).
In my book, point (a) and (b) hold some bearing over the question of
"where should this SPI NOR framework live", because it is reasonable
that a single driver for this hardware should be able to handle either
true SPI devices or accelerated SPI-NOR flash.
Sorry for my late-ish addition to this discussion. There's been a lot of
noise on this topic, and SPI flash is not the highest priority on my
list for now (although it's certainly on the list).

ok. Let's add this feature in the future when a real case occurs.

Sorry got lost.. Can you please summarize following plans for your next patch:
(1) Polling of status registers should be
(a) done in S/W (generic driver)
(b) done controller driver, which can be optimized for specific hardware
(2) How do you plan to have timeout value, (as serial flash can be pretty slow
to access) ?
(a) independent for each access
- read timeouts per sector, which can be multiplied with read_len/sector_size
- write timeout per sector, which can be multiplied with write_len/sector_size
- erase timeout per block, which can be multiplied with erase_len/block_size
(b) Any other method, or leave it to controller driver ?
In my view, before proceeding to writing down a patch, I think
we should come-up with a doc/Readme, which defines all API and interface
structs (taking Angus' proposal as baseline). And then refine that spec first.
Otherwise there may be too many revisions spent on patch RFC's ..
Any thoughts ?
And is there a space in kernel_docs for such specs ?
With regards, pekon

We have add a @read_id hook for the spi-nor layer, you can use it to read out
more info (such as the Device Geometry Definition) for your spi-nor controller driver.
Is it okay?

For (b), we can implement the @wait_till_ready hook for the controller driver.
For (a), we use the default hook for @wait_till_ready.

Since i have no idea about this kind of spi-nor controller, so I prefer the (b).

maybe the best solution is I send out the new version as soon as possible.

My meaning is You can write a new driver for the (b) with the new spi-nor layer,
In the new driver you can implement the @read_id yourself, and read out the
the necessary info, and implement other hooks for the so-called peculiarities.

You can only use a SPI-NOR driver, and you can abandon the "true SPI" driver.
Is there some limits that prevent we just code a SPI-NOR driver for your hardware?

I'm not sure which @read_id hook you're talking about, as I've only
skimmed the most recent thread, and it's not in the last patch series I
have from you, I don't think. But that is not a response at all to the
points I brought up. My statements have nothing to do with device
geometry detection.
What I was actually addressing:
Your framework aligns with Mark's original suggestion: that the "SPI
NOR" framework should be a separate layer held entirely within the MTD
subsystem, and that any given driver is *either* a "SPI NOR" driver *or*
a "true SPI" driver, not both.
I'm simply describing how my hardware is both, and perhaps (as David
seems to be doing) we should reconsider the premise that this framework
will exist solely and entirely within MTD.

Without giving a full judgment on the framework yet (I haven't followed
as closely as I'd like), I expect that the SPI NOR API will cover the
needs of my SPI NOR hardware.

SPI is not used only for SPI NOR; it is useful for other things, like
communicating with off-chip peripherals or microcontrollers, supporting
touchscreens, LEDs, media controllers, etc. So with a SPI NOR framework
living only in the MTD subsystem, I have to write two drivers: one
(under drivers/spi/) to use only-(a) for controlling non-flash SPI
devices, and one (under drivers/mtd/) to manage (a)+(b) on SPI NOR
flash.
If, however, we can define a spi_nor_transfer like Angus suggested, and
if we take that a step further and make it a first-class (but optional)
citizen of the SPI framework, then we could have drivers that support
SPI-only, SPI-NOR-only, or both.
Now, I'm not sure how exactly that sort of proposal would work yet, but
I wanted to test the waters to see
- if this is a complete distortion of what Angus or David may have
suggested;
- if Mark thinks this is reasonable, or if he thinks I'm spouting
nonsense; and
- if there is some obvious alternate way to support what I describe
without moving the SPI-NOR layer into the SPI subsystem.

We support one platform with properties similar to the hardware you describe,
and such a hybrid configuration was in mind when I was thinking about the
spi-nor framework. I am not sure how well this will come across over email, but
I envisage something like this:
spi-nor
|
v
[spi-nor-xfer]
|
------------------------------------------------
| | |
v v v
spi-wrapper (<------) hybrid-driver serial-flash-driver
| | |
[SPI] | |
| | |
v | |
generic-spi-driver | |
| | |
v v v
[generic-SPI-Cntrl] [SPI-Flash-Read Cntrl] [SPI-Flash-Controller]
The 'spi-nor' layer is responsible for Serial Flash domain knowledge, and how to
generate 'spi-nor-xfer' messages. The 'spi-wrapper' would provide an interface
to the generic SPI framework, flattening the 'spi-nor-xfer' message to standard
SPI calls. The combination of 'spi-nor' and 'spi-wrapper' should achieve what
we have today for the m25p80 driver. The 'serial-flash-driver' in the example
provides an implementation for a dedicated Serial Flash Controller, making use
of the spi-nor-xfer semantics where required. The 'hybrid-driver' could use the
'spi-wrapper' implementation for write and erase hooks, and optimised
implementations for read hooks.

Yes, I agree. At present, within the m25p80 driver, the knowledge of how to
drive Serial Flash devices is entwined with an implementation that assumes a
pure SPI Controller. Creating an additional layer of abstraction allows us to
separate the two issues, and write drivers that can make us of generic SPI
controllers, or take advantage of accelerated Serial Flash Controllers, or a
combination of both.
I realise it is going to take a significant effort to get this off the ground
and the framework will require some tuning to make sure it can accommodate the
eccentric range of hardware out there. Unfortunately I am not in a position to
commit much time myself, although I will help advise where I can. Ironically,
once the ST Bristol site closes next year, I will have lots of time available,
but no access to equipment!
Cheers,
Angus

If the NOR is connected to a SPI bus controller which can attaches other SPI
devices too, I think you use a pure SPI driver to access it;
If the NOR is connected to a SPI-NOR controller such as your spi-nor controller
, you can use a SPI-NOR driver to access it.
Does your NOR flash connect to both the SPI bus controller and SPI-NOR
controller at the same time? :) If it does connect to both of the controllers,
I do not know how to handle it too.

For the diagram above, I think we can regard the hybrid driver as a kind of
serial-flash-driver too.

I think this suggestion is feasible: that we might merge this driver
even if it doesn't try to fit to some (still vague) idea of what a "SPI
NOR framework" should be. However, I don't know if the latter argument
is valid; just because it's in real products doesn't mean we really want
it as-is. But I think that in this case, the perfect may be the enemy of
the good -- the "good" driver now is better than the "perfect" driver
that never comes.

I'll hold you to that! Do we have any collateral for that guarantee? ;)

OK, that sounds reasonable. But how do I bind my "generic SPI driver"
with my "SPI NOR accelerated read driver" to represent this? Does the
hybrid driver (my accelerated-read driver) have to register itself as a
SPI protocol driver (struct spi_driver)? The "controller" boundaries
seem to get a little fuzzy under this design.

True, it just makes things easier for us internally when we are due
for a kernel version up-lift.

My word is my bond Brian. Failing that, beer? :)
