Re: [PATCH v3 2/4] mtd: rawnand: Add Macronix MX25F0A NAND controller

[masonccyang@mxic.com.tw]

Hi Miquel,

Sorry, previous email missed this mxic_nand_data_xfer() reply.

This Flash Memory Controller implemented the Buffer read-write data 
transfer 
for SPI mode and raw NAND mode.

That is each time driver write to the transmit of the TXD port and the 
data 
is shifted out, new data is received in RXD port. 
By transmitting the entire buffer without reading any data, driver are 
losing
the received data.

Actually the mxic_nand_data_xfer() is a copy of mxic_spi_data_xfer().

https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blame/master/drivers/spi/spi-mxic.c 

therefore, I plan to patch this part to MFD as a common code for 
both raw NAND and SPI.

i.e,. 
In driver/mfd/mxic-mfd.c, we have mxic_mfd_data_xfer() and 

here call mxic_mfd_data_xfer() for raw NAND data read-write.
