| * mtd: st_spi_fsm: Refactor status register operationsAngus Clark2014-04-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch refactors the fsm_read_status() and fsm_write_status() code to support 1 or 2 byte operations, with a specified command. This allows us to remove device/register specific code, such as the N25Q fsm_wrvcr() function. The 'QE' configuration code is updated accordingly, with minor tweaks to ensure the register values are only written if actually required. One notable change in this area is that the 'W25Q_STATUS_QE' bit-field is now defined with respect to the 'SR2' register, rather than the combined 'SR1+SR2' register which is only used for write operations.

| * mtd: st_spi_fsm: Update Macronix 32-bit addressing supportAngus Clark2014-04-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Support for the Macronix 32-bit addressing scheme was originally developed using the MX25L25635E device. As is often the case, it was found that the presence of a "WAIT" instruction was required for the "EN4B/EX4B" FSM Sequence to complete. (It is known that the SPI FSM Controller makes certain undocumented assumptions regarding what constitutes a valid sequence.) However, further testing suggested that a small delay was required after issuing the "EX4B" command; without this delay, data corruptions were observed, consistent with the device not being ready to retrieve data. Although the issue was not fully understood, the workaround of adding a small delay was implemented, while awaiting clarification from Macronix. The same behaviour has now been found with a second Macronix device, the MX25L25655E. However, with this device, it seems that the delay is also required after the 'EN4B' commands. This discovery has prompted us to revisit the issue. Although still not conclusive, further tests have suggested that the issue is down to the SPI FSM Controller, rather than the Macronix devices. Furthermore, an alternative workaround has emerged which is to set the WAIT time to 0x00000001, rather then 0x00000000. (Note, the WAIT instruction is used purely for the purpose of achieving "sequence validity", rather than actually implementing a delay!) The issue is now being investigated by the Design and Validation teams. In the meantime, we implement the alternative workaround, which reduces the effective delay from 1us to 1ns.

* mtd: Fix the behavior of OTP write if there is not enough room for dataChristian Riesch2014-03-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If a write to one time programmable memory (OTP) hits the end of this memory area, no more data can be written. The count variable in mtdchar_write() in drivers/mtd/mtdchar.c is not decreased anymore. We are trapped in the loop forever, mtdchar_write() will never return in this case. The desired behavior of a write in such a case is described in [1]: - Try to write as much data as possible, truncate the write to fit into the available memory and return the number of bytes that actually have been written. - If no data could be written at all, return -ENOSPC. This patch fixes the behavior of OTP write if there is not enough space for all data: 1) mtd_write_user_prot_reg() in drivers/mtd/mtdcore.c is modified to return -ENOSPC if no data could be written at all. 2) mtdchar_write() is modified to handle -ENOSPC correctly. Exit if a write returned -ENOSPC and yield the correct return value, either then number of bytes that could be written, or -ENOSPC, if no data could be written at all. Furthermore the patch harmonizes the behavior of the OTP memory write in drivers/mtd/devices/mtd_dataflash.c with the other implementations and the requirements from [1]. Instead of returning -EINVAL if the data does not fit into the OTP memory, we try to write as much data as possible/truncate the write.
