Hi Liang,
I am trying to add support for older SoCs to the meson-nand driver.
Back when the driver was in development I used an early revision (of
your driver) and did some modifications to make it work on older SoCs.
Now that the driver is upstream I wanted to give it another try and
make a real patch out of it. Unfortunately it's not working anymore.
As far as I know the NFC IP block revision on GXL is similar (or even
the same?) as on all older SoCs. As far as I can tell only the clock
setup is different on the older SoCs (which have a dedicated NAND
clock):
- we don't need the "amlogic,mmc-syscon" property on the older SoCs
because we don't need to setup any muxing (common clock framework
will do everything for us)
- "rx" and "tx" clocks don't exist
- I could not find any other differences between Meson8, Meson8b,
Meson8m2, GXBB and GXL
That is right. the serials NFC is almost the same except:
1) The clock control and source that M8-serials are not share with EMMC.
2) The base register address
3) DMA encryption option which we don't care on NFC driver.
great, thank you for confirming this!
In this series I'm sending two patches which add support for the older
SoCs.
Unfortunately these patches are currently not working for me (hence the
"RFC" prefix). I get a (strange) crash which is triggered by the
kzalloc() in meson_nfc_read_buf() - see below for more details.
Can you please help me on this one? I'd like to know whether:
- the meson-nand driver works for you on GXL or AXG on linux-next?
(I was running these patches on top of next-20190301 on my M8S
board which uses a 32-bit Meson8m2 SoC. I don't have any board using
a GXL SoC which also has NAND)
Yes, it works on AXG platform using a MXIC slc nand flash(MX30LF4G); but
i an not sure it runs the same flow with yours. because i see the print
"Counld not find a valid ONFI parameter page, ...." in yours. i will try
to reproduce it on AXG(i don't have a M8 platform now).
I'm looking forward to hear about the test results on your AXG boards
for reference: my board has a SK Hynix H27UCG8T2B (ID bytes: 0xad 0xde
0x94 0xeb 0x74 0x44, 20nm MLC)
I have another board (where I haven't tested the NFC driver yet) with
a SK Hynix H27UCG8T2E (ID bytes: 0xad 0xde 0x14 0xa7 0x42 0x4a, 1Ynm
MLC). if it helps with your analysis I can test on that board as well
Liang, you just have to fake the output of the ONFI page detection and
you will probably run into this error which will then be easy to
reproduce.
i don't reproduce it by using a SK Hynix nand flash H27UCG8T2E on gxl
platform. it runs well.

Martin, Now i am not sure whether NFC driver leads to kernel panic when
calling kmem_cache_alloc_trace.
