4.17-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Boris Brezillon <boris.brezillon@xxxxxxxxxxx> commit 782d1967d0479ffd59412b2f3179c8bb35f50ff6 upstream. The ONFI spec clearly says that FAIL bit is only valid for PROGRAM, ERASE and READ-with-on-die-ECC operations, and should be ignored otherwise. It seems that checking it after sending a SET_FEATURES is a bad idea because a previous READ, PROGRAM or ERASE op may have failed, and depending on the implementation, the FAIL bit is not cleared until a new READ, PROGRAM or ERASE is started. This leads to ->set_features() returning -EIO while it actually worked, which can sometimes stop a batch of READ/PROGRAM ops. Note that we only fix the ->exec_op() path here, because some drivers are abusing the NAND_STATUS_FAIL flag in their ->waitfunc() implementation to propagate other kind of errors, like wait-ready-timeout or controller-related errors. Let's not try to fix those drivers since they worked fine so far.
