* mtd: atmel_nand: introduce a new compatible string for sama5d4 chipWu, Josh2015-01-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | Since in SAMA5D4 chip, the PMECC can correct bit flips in erased page. So we add a DT property to indicate this hardware character. If the PMECC support correct bitflip erased page (all data are 0xff). Then we can use the PMECC correct the page and skip the erased page check.

* mtd: atmel_nand: make PMECC lookup table and offset property optionalJosh Wu2014-11-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If there is no PMECC lookup table stored in ROM, or lookup table offset is not specified, PMECC driver should build it in DDR by itself. That make the PMECC driver work for some board which doesn't have PMECC lookup table in ROM. The PMECC use the BCH algorithm, so based on the build_gf_tables() function in lib/bch.c, we can build the Galois Field lookup table. For more information can refer to section 5.4 of PMECC controller application note: http://www.atmel.com/images/doc11127.pdf Signed-off-by: Josh Wu <josh.wu@atmel.com> Cc: devicetree@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Brian Norris <computersforpeace@gmail.com>
* mtd: nand: atmel_nand: retrieve NFC clockBoris BREZILLON2014-09-17
| | | | | | | | | | | Retrieve the NFC clock to make sure it is enabled. Make that optional to ensure compatibility with previous device trees but document it as mandatory so newer device trees will include it.

* mtd: atmel_nand: enable Nand Flash Controller (NFC) write via sramJosh Wu2013-08-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch enable writing nand flash via NFC SRAM. It will minimize the CPU overhead. The SRAM write only support ECC_NONE and ECC_HW with PMECC. To enable this NFC write by SRAM feature, you can add a string in dts under NFC driver node. This driver has been tested on SAMA5D3X-EK with JFFS2, YAFFS2, UBIFS and mtd-utils. Here is part of mtd_speedtest (writing test) result, compare with non-NFC writing, it reduces %65 cpu load with loss %12 speed. - commands use to test: # insmod /mnt/mtd_speedtest.ko dev=2 & # top -n 30 -d 1 | grep speedtest - test result: ================================================= mtd_speedtest: MTD device: 2 mtd_speedtest: MTD device size 41943040, eraseblock size 131072, page size 2048, count of eraseblocks 320, pages per eraseblock 64, OOB size 64 mtd_speedtest: testing eraseblock write speed 509 495 root D 1164 0% 7% insmod /mnt/mtd_speedtest.ko dev=2 509 495 root D 1164 0% 8% insmod /mnt/mtd_speedtest.ko dev=2 509 495 root R 1164 0% 5% insmod /mnt/mtd_speedtest.ko dev=2 mtd_speedtest: eraseblock write speed is 5194 KiB/s mtd_speedtest: testing page write speed 509 495 root D 1164 0% 32% insmod /mnt/mtd_speedtest.ko dev=2 509 495 root D 1164 0% 27% insmod /mnt/mtd_speedtest.ko dev=2 509 495 root D 1164 0% 25% insmod /mnt/mtd_speedtest.ko dev=2 509 495 root D 1164 0% 30% insmod /mnt/mtd_speedtest.ko dev=2 mtd_speedtest: page write speed is 5024 KiB/s Signed-off-by: Josh Wu <josh.wu@atmel.com> Acked-by: Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD <plagnioj@jcrosoft.com> Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <artem.bityutskiy@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com>
* mtd: atmel_nand: add Nand Flash Controller (NFC) supportJosh Wu2013-08-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Nand Flash Controller (NFC) can handle automatic transfers, sending the commands and address cycles to the NAND Flash. To use NFC in this driver, user needs to add NFC child node in nand flash driver. The NFC child node includes NFC's compatible string and regiters of the address and size of NFC command registers, NFC registers (embedded in HSMC) and NFC SRAM. Also user need to set up the HSMC irq, which use to check whether nfc command is finish or not. This driver has been tested on SAMA5D3X-EK board with JFFS2, YAFFS, UBIFS and mtd-utils. I put the part of the mtd_speedtest result here for your information. >From the mtd_speedtest, we can see the NFC will reduce the %50 of cpu load when writing nand flash. No change when reading. In the meantime, the speed will be slow about %8. - commands use to test: #insmod /mnt/mtd_speedtest.ko dev=2 & #top -n 30 -d 1 | grep speedtest - test result: Before the patch: ================================================= mtd_speedtest: MTD device: 2 mtd_speedtest: MTD device size 41943040, eraseblock size 131072, page size 2048, count of eraseblocks 320, pages per eraseblock 64, OOB size 64 515 495 root R 1164 0% 93% insmod /mnt/mtd_speedtest.ko dev=2 515 495 root R 1164 0% 98% insmod /mnt/mtd_speedtest.ko dev=2 515 495 root R 1164 0% 99% insmod /mnt/mtd_speedtest.ko dev=2 mtd_speedtest: eraseblock write speed is 5768 KiB/s mtd_speedtest: testing eraseblock read speed 515 495 root R 1164 0% 92% insmod /mnt/mtd_speedtest.ko dev=2 515 495 root R 1164 0% 91% insmod /mnt/mtd_speedtest.ko dev=2 515 495 root R 1164 0% 94% insmod /mnt/mtd_speedtest.ko dev=2 mtd_speedtest: eraseblock read speed is 5932 KiB/s mtd_speedtest: testing page write speed 515 495 root R 1164 0% 94% insmod /mnt/mtd_speedtest.ko dev=2 515 495 root R 1164 0% 98% insmod /mnt/mtd_speedtest.ko dev=2 515 495 root R 1164 0% 98% insmod /mnt/mtd_speedtest.ko dev=2 mtd_speedtest: page write speed is 5770 KiB/s mtd_speedtest: testing page read speed 515 495 root R 1164 0% 91% insmod /mnt/mtd_speedtest.ko dev=2 515 495 root R 1164 0% 89% insmod /mnt/mtd_speedtest.ko dev=2 515 495 root R 1164 0% 91% insmod /mnt/mtd_speedtest.ko dev=2 mtd_speedtest: page read speed is 5910 KiB/s After the patch: ================================================= mtd_speedtest: MTD device: 2 mtd_speedtest: MTD device size 41943040, eraseblock size 131072, page size 2048, count of eraseblocks 320, pages per eraseblock 64, OOB size 64 mtd_speedtest: testing eraseblock write speed 509 495 root D 1164 0% 49% insmod /mnt/mtd_speedtest.ko dev=2 509 495 root D 1164 0% 50% insmod /mnt/mtd_speedtest.ko dev=2 509 495 root D 1164 0% 47% insmod /mnt/mtd_speedtest.ko dev=2 mtd_speedtest: eraseblock write speed is 5370 KiB/s mtd_speedtest: testing eraseblock read speed 509 495 root R 1164 0% 92% insmod /mnt/mtd_speedtest.ko dev=2 509 495 root R 1164 0% 91% insmod /mnt/mtd_speedtest.ko dev=2 509 495 root R 1164 0% 95% insmod /mnt/mtd_speedtest.ko dev=2 mtd_speedtest: eraseblock read speed is 5715 KiB/s mtd_speedtest: testing page write speed 509 495 root D 1164 0% 48% insmod /mnt/mtd_speedtest.ko dev=2 509 495 root D 1164 0% 47% insmod /mnt/mtd_speedtest.ko dev=2 509 495 root D 1164 0% 50% insmod /mnt/mtd_speedtest.ko dev=2 mtd_speedtest: page write speed is 5224 KiB/s mtd_speedtest: testing page read speed 509 495 root R 1164 0% 89% insmod /mnt/mtd_speedtest.ko dev=2 509 495 root R 1164 0% 94% insmod /mnt/mtd_speedtest.ko dev=2 509 495 root R 1164 0% 93% insmod /mnt/mtd_speedtest.ko dev=2 mtd_speedtest: page read speed is 5641 KiB/s Signed-off-by: Josh Wu <josh.wu@atmel.com> Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <artem.bityutskiy@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com>
