I'm sorry I have so few details on hand, and no kernel tree (no access to that machine either, for now). I will try to describe to the best of my abilities what I recall. My methodology of making sure things don't go haywire was to print the oob size of our NAND basically every two lines of code (yes, i was very desperate at one point), as that was zeroed out when *the bug* happened, leading to a kernel bug/panic/stall (can't recall what exactly it was, but it said something along the lines of "no support for oob size 0" and then it didn't fail graceully, leading to some bad jumps and ultimately a dead platform..) after hours of digging, I found out that everything goes fine until clear_bam_transaction is called, after that gets executed every nand op starts reading all zeroes (for example in JEDEC ID check) so I added the changes from this patch, and things magically started working... My suspicion is that the underlying FIFO isn't fully drained (is it a FIFO on 9607? bah, i work on too many socs at once) and this function only makes Linux think it is, without actually draining it, and the leftover commands get executed with some parts of them getting overwritten, resulting in the famous garbage in - garbage out situation, but that's only a guesstimate.. Do note this somehow worked fine on 5.11 and then broke on 5.12/13. I went as far as replacing most of the kernel with the updated/downgraded parts via git checkout (i tried many combinations), to no avail.. I even tried different compilers and optimization levels, thinking it could have been a codegen issue, but no luck either. I.. do understand this email is a total mess to read, as much as it was to write, but without access to my code and the machine itself I can't give you solid details, and the fact this situation is far from ordinary doesn't help either.. The latest (ancient, not quite pretty, but probably working if my memory is correct) version of my patches for the mdm9607 is available at [1], I will push the new revision after I get access to the workstation.
