This pathset is gonna support serial flash controller , namely SFC, found on Rockchip RK1108 platform. Feature: (1) Support x1, x2, x4 data bits mode (2) Support up to 4 chip select (3) Support two independent clock domain: AHB clock and SPI clock (4) Support DMA master up to 16KB/transfer Test environment: This patchset is testing on RK1108 evb boards with Winboud flash (w25q256) and working find with PIO or DMA mode. How-to: Any rockchip guys who are interested in testing it could refer to the following steps: (1) enable CONFIG_MTD_M25P80 (2) enable CONFIG_SPI_ROCKCHIP_SFC (3) enable CONFIG_MTD_CMDLINE_PARTS (4) enable CONFIG_SQUASHFS (4) CONFIG_CMDLINE="root=/dev/mtdblock2 mtdparts=spi-nor:256k@0(loader)ro,8m(kernel)ro,7m(rootfs),-(freedisk)" Of course, you should check the partition layout if you modify it. Also you could pass it from your loader to the kernel's cmdline. (5) Add dts support: nor_flash: sfc@301c0000 { compatible = "rockchip,rk1108-sfc", "rockchip,sfc"; #address-cells = <1>; #size-cells = <0>; clocks = <&cru SCLK_SFC>, <&cru HCLK_SFC>; clock-names = "sfc", "hsfc"; interrupts = <GIC_SPI 56 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>; reg = <0x301c0000 0x1000>; /* If you want to use PIO mode, activate this */ #rockchip,sfc-no-dma; spi-nor@0 { compatible = "jedec,spi-nor"; spi-max-frequency = <12000000>; reg = <0>; } }; please make sure your DT's mdtid matchs what you assgin to the mdtparts(cmdline), namely they are both *spi-nor* here. With enabling DBG for cmdlinepart.c, you could get following log and boot kernel and rootfs successfully.
