[PATCH 2/2] mtd: spi-nor: Always use biggest erase size

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

 



Optimize erase time by always using biggest erase size for given erase
request. Do it by removing "sector"-at-a-time erase code.
spi_nor_erase_multi_sectors() seems to be mature enough to handle all
the cases better.

For the above to work backwards-compatible regarding 4-bytes commands
spi_nor_set_4byte_opcodes() has to prepare them always, independent of
spi_nor_has_uniform_erase() flag.

Remainder check in spi_nor_erase() becomes superfluous because
spi_nor_erase_multi_sectors() performs it anyway.

The trigger for this change was n25q128a13: enabling SECT_4K increased
erase time of 128k block from 1.763s to 11.335s.

Fixes: 4607777c71 ("mtd: spi-nor: add subsector flag to n25q128a")
