[RFC/PATCH v2] NAND bus-width detection extreme makeover

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

 



Another iteration of this proposal, although Brian Norris already said
he didn't like the v1. I guess I'm stubborn ;-)

This patch removes the flash device bus-width configuration, prior to
the device detection. With this modification, a NAND driver *shouldn't*
need to set the device width, but can instead obtain the detected
bus-width after the call to nand_scan_ident() and perform any neccessary
action.

As usual, this has been tested on a AM335x board with 8-bit and 16-bit devices,
which were successfully detected and nandtest'ed, using ONFI and flash-based
detection.

Improving from v1, now driver's shouldn't need *any* modification to work in
both 8-bit and 16-bit modes (although I'm only testing the omap2-nand driver).

Brian and others:

I'm no longer talking about removing any property or option :-), but merely
fixing our current incapability of detecting x16 devices by ONFI. I think
we can discuss about the DT property or the future of NAND_BUSWIDTH_AUTO
in another thread.

Probably there's more work needed along the lines of Uwe's patch to
fix other ONFI-related usage.

Changes from v1:

  * In addition to setting nand_set_default to x8 for the detection phase,
    this commit now clears the NAND_BUSWIDTH_16 flag from chip->options
    as it prevented device from getting detected.

  * This v2 no longer removes the NAND_BUSWIDTH_AUTO option. We can do that
    later after some proper discussion.
