[PATCH v2 1/6] spi: spi-mem: Allow specifying the byte order in DTR mode

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

 



There are NOR flashes (Macronix) that swap the bytes on a 16-bit boundary
when configured in Octal DTR mode. The byte order of 16-bit words is
swapped when read or written in Octal Double Transfer Rate (DTR) mode
compared to Single Transfer Rate (STR) modes. If one writes D0 D1 D2 D3
bytes using 1-1-1 mode, and uses 8D-8D-8D SPI mode for reading, it will
read back D1 D0 D3 D2. Swapping the bytes is a bad design decision because
it may introduce some endianness problems. It can affect the boot sequence
if the entire boot sequence is not handled in either 8D-8D-8D mode or 1-1-1
mode. So we must swap the bytes back to have the same byte order as in STR
modes. Fortunately there are controllers that can swap the bytes back at
runtime, addressing the flash's endiannesses requirements. Provide a way
for the upper layers to specify the byte order in Octal DTR mode.
