And may be your experience of Atmel drivers would help me here.. *Correct, should not be double calls to nand_scan_ident()..* But there is a constrain in nand_base.c, that it does not allow ONFI page reading in x16 mode.. So how to overcome that.. I see the similar implementation in your ATMEL driver, it does not use NAND_BUSWIDTH_AUTO so how do you perform ONFI read for x16 devices ? drivers/mtd/nand/atmel_nand.c @@atmel_nand_probe() /* here you move to x16 mode based on your DT or platform data */ if (host->board.bus_width_16) /* 16-bit bus width */ nand_chip->options |= NAND_BUSWIDTH_16; /* And then you call nand_scan_ident */ /* first scan to find the device and get the page size */ if (nand_scan_ident(mtd, 1, NULL)) { res = -ENXIO; goto err_scan_ident; } Wouldn't this fail, _unless_ your device is listed in nand_flash_id[] ? because it would not be able to read ONFI params..
