[PATCH v2 1/2] dt-bindings: mtd: Add YAML schemas for the generic NAND options

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

device tree. Add a YAML schemas for those.

+description: |
+  The NAND controller should be represented with its own DT node, and
+  all NAND chips attached to this controller should be defined as
+  children nodes of the NAND controller. This representation should be
+  enforced even for simple controllers supporting only one chip.
+
+  The ECC strength and ECC step size properties define the user
+  desires in terms of correction capability of a controller. Together,
+  they request the ECC engine to correct {strength} bit errors per
+  {size} bytes.
+
+  The interpretation of these parameters is implementation-defined, so
+  not all implementations must support all possible
+  combinations. However, implementations are encouraged to further
+  specify the value(s) they support.

-* NAND chip and NAND controller generic binding

-NAND controller/NAND chip representation:
-
-The NAND controller should be represented with its own DT node, and all
-NAND chips attached to this controller should be defined as children nodes
-of the NAND controller. This representation should be enforced even for
-simple controllers supporting only one chip.
-
-Mandatory NAND controller properties:
-- #address-cells: depends on your controller. Should at least be 1 to
-		  encode the CS line id.
-- #size-cells: depends on your controller. Put zero unless you need a
-	       mapping between CS lines and dedicated memory regions
-
-Optional NAND controller properties
-- ranges: only needed if you need to define a mapping between CS lines and
-	  memory regions
-
-Optional NAND chip properties:
-
-- nand-ecc-mode : String, operation mode of the NAND ecc mode.
-		  Supported values are: "none", "soft", "hw", "hw_syndrome",
-		  "hw_oob_first", "on-die".
-		  Deprecated values:
-		  "soft_bch": use "soft" and nand-ecc-algo instead
-- nand-ecc-algo: string, algorithm of NAND ECC.
-		 Valid values are: "hamming", "bch", "rs".
-- nand-bus-width : 8 or 16 bus width if not present 8
-- nand-on-flash-bbt: boolean to enable on flash bbt option if not present false
-
-- nand-ecc-strength: integer representing the number of bits to correct
-		     per ECC step.
-
-- nand-ecc-step-size: integer representing the number of data bytes
-		      that are covered by a single ECC step.
-
-- nand-ecc-maximize: boolean used to specify that you want to maximize ECC
-		     strength. The maximum ECC strength is both controller and
-		     chip dependent. The controller side has to select the ECC
-		     config providing the best strength and taking the OOB area
-		     size constraint into account.
-		     This is particularly useful when only the in-band area is
-		     used by the upper layers, and you want to make your NAND
-		     as reliable as possible.
-- nand-is-boot-medium: Whether the NAND chip is a boot medium. Drivers might use
-		       this information to select ECC algorithms supported by
-		       the boot ROM or similar restrictions.
-
-- nand-rb: shall contain the native Ready/Busy ids.
-
-The ECC strength and ECC step size properties define the correction capability
-of a controller. Together, they say a controller can correct "{strength} bit
-errors per {size} bytes".
-
-The interpretation of these parameters is implementation-defined, so not all
-implementations must support all possible combinations. However, implementations
-are encouraged to further specify the value(s) they support.
-
-Example:
-
-	nand-controller {
-		#address-cells = <1>;
-		#size-cells = <0>;
-
-		/* controller specific properties */
-
-		nand@0 {
-			reg = <0>;
-			nand-ecc-mode = "soft";
-			nand-ecc-algo = "bch";
-
-			/* controller specific properties */
-		};
-	};
