This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled mtd: cfi_cmdset_0001: Support the absence of protection registers to the 5.4-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: mtd-cfi_cmdset_0001-support-the-absence-of-protectio.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit e2b25543a142a226cdf4a9e2435bc6c7e9620893 Author: Jean-Philippe Brucker <jean-philippe@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Apr 17 16:23:26 2020 +0200 mtd: cfi_cmdset_0001: Support the absence of protection registers [ Upstream commit b359ed5184aebf9d987e54abc5dae7ac03ed29ae ] The flash controller implemented by the Arm Base platform behaves like the Intel StrataFlash J3 device, but omits several features. In particular it doesn't implement a protection register, so "Number of Protection register fields" in the Primary Vendor-Specific Extended Query, is 0. The Intel StrataFlash J3 datasheet only lists 1 as a valid value for NumProtectionFields. It describes the field as: "Number of Protection register fields in JEDEC ID space. “00h,” indicates that 256 protection bytes are available" While a value of 0 may arguably not be architecturally valid, the driver's current behavior is certainly wrong: if NumProtectionFields is 0, read_pri_intelext() adds a negative value to the unsigned extra_size, and ends up in an infinite loop. Fix it by ignoring a NumProtectionFields of 0.
