Subject: mtd: nand: hack ONFI for non-power-of-2 dimensions
From: Brian Norris <computersforpeace@xxxxxxxxx>
commit 4355b70cf48363c50a9de450b01178c83aba8f6a upstream.
Some bright specification writers decided to write this in the ONFI spec
(from ONFI 3.0, Section 3.1):
"The number of blocks and number of pages per block is not required to
be a power of two. In the case where one of these values is not a
power of two, the corresponding address shall be rounded to an
integral number of bits such that it addresses a range up to the
subsequent power of two value. The host shall not access upper
addresses in a range that is shown as not supported."
This breaks every assumption MTD makes about NAND block/chip-size
dimensions -- they *must* be a power of two!
And of course, an enterprising manufacturer has made use of this lovely
freedom. Exhibit A: Micron MT29F32G08CBADAWP
"- Plane size: 2 planes x 1064 blocks per plane
- Device size: 32Gb: 2128 blockss [sic]"
This quickly hits a BUG() in nand_base.c, since the extra dimensions
overflow so we think it's a second chip (on my single-chip setup):
ONFI param page 0 valid
ONFI flash detected
NAND device: Manufacturer ID: 0x2c, Chip ID: 0x44 (Micron MT29F32G08CBADAWP), 4256MiB, page size: 8192, OOB size: 744

So to fix this, just truncate these dimensions down to the greatest
power-of-2 dimension that is less than or equal to the specified
dimension.
