I have repeatedly objected to this patch [0][1][2] and you have
repeatedly decided to not address my objections.
That's a very harsh way of saying things. I did not decide anything
or ignore your comments. I answered your questions and acknowledged
that indeed the read training was done under the dirmap handler but
this was not a concern today since we had all the required information
from spimem.
We waited _together_, 5 or 6 weeks, for more inputs on how to address
the concerns you raised regarding the sustainability of this method.
I won't spend any more time fighting it.
This is not a fight. I don't know why you interpret it that way.
Now, since you object so explicitly, and since this patchset has
not reached the Linux kernel yet, we should consider dropping it.
I rather do that than push crap in mainline. But then, please,
provide solutions and not only objections !
But I will say that you should not expect any
guarantees that SPI NOR or SPI NAND will not break your calibration in
the future if they decide to move the dirmap_create() call around.
If that's the case one day, we have multiple solutions :
- stop doing the training
- move the training to the appropriate handler if it exists
- use a default value
