Either seems reasonable to me, but passing the ONFI mode directly from the NAND core to the driver seems a little safer.. The NAND core can provide a helper function to xlate the mode number to the timing struct to help drivers that need broken out timing. > >I found the ONFI timing tables in this document: > > > >www.*onfi*.org/~/media/*ONFI*/specs/*onfi*_3_1_spec.pdf (chapter 4.16). > > > >I suppose my nand_timings struct should use the names described > >page 110-111 (at least if we decide to use nand_timings and not > >nand_timing_modes), right ? Yah, I think follow the standard. The standard has timing diagrams that show what all these parameters actually are. > After taking a closer look at this document, the only parameter > available in my nand_timings struct that is not defined in the > standard is tR_max (data transfer from cell to register). Maybe it can be derived from the other parameters? The ONFI values seemed pretty comprehensive to me. I think the mvebu driver was similar, not all of the ONFI values were used and some translation was needed.
