rb-gpios could be added to the generic nand binding as well.
The Allwinner NAND controller have dedicated RB pins when NAND is
enabled, only MUXed with other functions when NAND is not enabled.
Leaving RB unconnected is not a valid hardware configuration. The
controller internal timing engine depends on being able to sense RB to
sequence NAND commands properly.
This is not true (at least in this driver). It was in yuq's driver because
he was using the NFC_WAIT_FLAG ,and in this case the controller wait
for the native R/B pin to be high before considering the CMD is complete.
This driver choose the appropriate way to test the R/B state of the
NAND chip according to what was specified in the DT:
- allwinner,rb: native R/B id. These pins will be used by the NAND
controller to test the R/B state. Only 0 and 1 are valid because the
NAND controller only support 2 R/B pins.
- rb-gpios: gpio used for R/B tests. This is a simple GPIO and will
use the GPIO subsystem to test the R/B pin state.
- none: the NAND base code will wait some time before and send
STATUS cmd to the NAND to check its status.
BTW, the controller supports 8 CS (8 NAND chips), but only have 2 native
R/B pins, this means you'll have to use the GPIO or standard GET_STATUS
method if you connect 3 or more NAND chips.
And for the record, I still think the rb-gpios property (or whatever
common name you choose: nand-rb-gpios ?) should be part of
the generic NAND binding, because other controllers (at least the
atmel one :)) use GPIOs to test R/B state.

Boris
