Hi Bayi, I'm looking over your v5, and I still have a lot of comments. I'll send those soon. But I still question one of your responses here: On Sun, Oct 18, 2015 at 10:20:35PM +0800, bayi.cheng wrote: > On Fri, 2015-10-16 at 00:39 -0700, Brian Norris wrote: > > On Tue, Oct 13, 2015 at 05:39:19PM +0800, Bayi Cheng wrote: > > > diff --git a/drivers/mtd/spi-nor/mtk-quadspi.c b/drivers/mtd/spi-nor/mtk-quadspi.c > > > new file mode 100644 > > > index 0000000..c6ac366 > > > --- /dev/null > > > +++ b/drivers/mtd/spi-nor/mtk-quadspi.c > > > @@ -0,0 +1,486 @@ [...] > > > +#define MTK_NOR_CMD_REG 0x00 > > > +#define MTK_NOR_CNT_REG 0x04 > > > +#define MTK_NOR_RDSR_REG 0x08 > > > +#define MTK_NOR_RDATA_REG 0x0c > > > +#define MTK_NOR_RADR0_REG 0x10 > > > +#define MTK_NOR_RADR1_REG 0x14 > > > +#define MTK_NOR_RADR2_REG 0x18 > > > +#define MTK_NOR_WDATA_REG 0x1c > > > +#define MTK_NOR_PRGDATA0_REG 0x20 > > > +#define MTK_NOR_PRGDATA1_REG 0x24 > > > +#define MTK_NOR_PRGDATA2_REG 0x28 > > > +#define MTK_NOR_PRGDATA3_REG 0x2c > > > +#define MTK_NOR_PRGDATA4_REG 0x30 > > > +#define MTK_NOR_PRGDATA5_REG 0x34 ^^ so you have 6 "TX" registers. > > > +#define MTK_NOR_SHREG0_REG 0x38 > > > +#define MTK_NOR_SHREG1_REG 0x3c > > > +#define MTK_NOR_SHREG2_REG 0x40 > > > +#define MTK_NOR_SHREG3_REG 0x44 > > > +#define MTK_NOR_SHREG4_REG 0x48 > > > +#define MTK_NOR_SHREG5_REG 0x4c ^^ and you have at least 6 "RX" registers (looking at the mt8173 manual, I'm not sure what the SHREG{6..9} are for). So I don't see why you can't program MTK_NOR_CNT_REG to 48 (6 bytes * 8 bits/byte) to get 6 bytes TX/RX, or IOW, 1 byte of opcode and 5 bytes of either RX or TX data. So I'm still not convinced about your claim below. I was able to rewrite your driver to do the above, and I can read out 5 bytes no problem, but unfortunately, the flash device I have has only 3 bytes of ID, so the last two bytes are zero, which doesn't tell me too much if this is working right. > > > +#define MTK_NOR_SHREG6_REG 0x50 > > > +#define MTK_NOR_SHREG7_REG 0x54 > > > +#define MTK_NOR_SHREG8_REG 0x58 > > > +#define MTK_NOR_SHREG9_REG 0x5c > > > +#define MTK_NOR_CFG1_REG 0x60 > > > +#define MTK_NOR_CFG2_REG 0x64 > > > +#define MTK_NOR_CFG3_REG 0x68 > > > +#define MTK_NOR_STATUS0_REG 0x70 > > > +#define MTK_NOR_STATUS1_REG 0x74 > > > +#define MTK_NOR_STATUS2_REG 0x78 > > > +#define MTK_NOR_STATUS3_REG 0x7c > > > +#define MTK_NOR_FLHCFG_REG 0x84 > > > +#define MTK_NOR_TIME_REG 0x94 > > > +#define MTK_NOR_PP_DATA_REG 0x98 > > > +#define MTK_NOR_PREBUF_STUS_REG 0x9c > > > +#define MTK_NOR_DELSEL0_REG 0xa0 > > > +#define MTK_NOR_DELSEL1_REG 0xa4 > > > +#define MTK_NOR_INTRSTUS_REG 0xa8 > > > +#define MTK_NOR_INTREN_REG 0xac > > > +#define MTK_NOR_CHKSUM_CTL_REG 0xb8 > > > +#define MTK_NOR_CHKSUM_REG 0xbc > > > +#define MTK_NOR_CMD2_REG 0xc0 > > > +#define MTK_NOR_WRPROT_REG 0xc4 > > > +#define MTK_NOR_RADR3_REG 0xc8 > > > +#define MTK_NOR_DUAL_REG 0xcc > > > +#define MTK_NOR_DELSEL2_REG 0xd0 > > > +#define MTK_NOR_DELSEL3_REG 0xd4 > > > +#define MTK_NOR_DELSEL4_REG 0xd8 ... > > > +static int mt8173_nor_read_reg(struct spi_nor *nor, u8 opcode, u8 *buf, int len) > > > +{ > > > + int ret; > > > + struct mt8173_nor *mt8173_nor = nor->priv; > > > + > > > + /* mtk nor controller doesn't supoort SPINOR_OP_RDCR */ > > > + switch (opcode) { > > > + case SPINOR_OP_RDID: > > > + /* read JEDEC ID need 4 bytes commands */ > > > + ret = mt8173_nor_set_cmd(mt8173_nor, 0, 32, SPINOR_OP_RDID); > > > + if (ret < 0) > > > + return ret; > > > + > > > + /* mtk nor flash controller only support 3 bytes IDs */ > > > > Are you absolutely sure of this?

How exactly did you try? Did you do what I suggested above?
