Anyway, the solution I've proposed is not suited if you use m25p80.c as an adaptation layer between spi-nor.c and the SPI controller driver. Indeed, in that case, spi_nor_scan() is called from m25p_probe() in m25p80.c and I still think there would be too many side effects if we modified either spi-nor.c or m25p80.c the way you propose to compute logical operations on register values. This solution is not maintainable regarding the number memory registers we already manage. You might need to develop a new driver to substitute m25p80.c and make the link between spi-nor, mostly spi_nor_scan(), and you SPI controller driver. Honestly I have no real idea how you could proceed to add support to such a feature: accessing 2 SPI flashes at the time to perform stripping operations doesn't sound really reliable to me because I don't see how you plan to handle errors properly and also cover all the features provided by SPI flash memory and supported by spi-nor.c (sector/block protection, ...). >> Best regards, >> >> Cyrille >> > Thanks, > Naga Sureshkumar Relli > = > = > This email and any attachments are intended for the sole use of the named= recipient(s) and contain(s) confidential information that may be proprieta= ry, privileged or copyrighted under applicable law.
