mtd: move manufacturer to the common cfi.h header file

2009-11-30T09:51:26Z

This patch moves the MANUFACTURER_ST and MANUFACTURER_INTEL to the include/linux/mtd/cfi.h header file and renames them to CFI_MFR_ST and CFI_MFR_INTEL. CFI_MFR_ST was already present there. All references in drivers/mtd/chips/cfi_cmdset_0001.c are updated to reflect this.

mtd: nand: add option to quieten off the no device found messgae

2009-11-30T09:48:31Z

Add NAND_SCAN_SILENT_NODEV to chip->options to the user-worrying messages 'No NAND device found!!!'. This message often worries users (was three exclamation marks really necessary?) and especially in systems such as the Simtec Osiris where there may be optional NAND devices which are not known until probe time. Revised version of the original NAND_PROBE_SPECULATIVE patch after comments by Artem Bityutskiy about adding a whole new call.

mtd: OneNAND: multiblock erase support

2009-11-30T09:43:18Z

Add support for multiblock erase command. OneNANDs (excluding Flex-OneNAND) are capable of simultaneous erase of up to 64 eraseblocks which is much faster. This changes the erase requests for regions covering multiple eraseblocks to be performed using multiblock erase.

mtd: Add __nand_calculate_ecc() to NAND ECC functions

2009-11-30T09:32:19Z

Add __nand_calculate_ecc() which does not take struct mtd_info. The built-in 256/512 software ECC calculation and correction tester will use it. Signed-off-by: Akinobu Mita Acked-by: Vimal Singh Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse

mtd: OneNAND OTP support rework

2009-11-30T09:31:13Z

What is OTP in OneNAND? The device includes, 1. one block-sized OTP (One Time Programmable) area and 2. user-controlled 1st block OTP(Block 0) that can be used to increase system security or to provide identification capabilities. What is done? In OneNAND, one block of the NAND Array is set aside as an OTP memory area, and 1st Block (Block 0) can be used as OTP area. This area, available to the user, can be configured and locked with secured user information. The OTP block can be read, programmed and locked using the same operations as any other NAND Flash Array memory block. After issuing an OTP-Lock, OTP block cannot be erased. OTP block is fully-guaranteed to be a good block. Why it is done? Locking the 1st Block OTP has the effect of a 'Write-protect' to guard against accidental re-programming of data stored in the 1st block and OTP Block. Which problem it solves? OTP support is provided in the existing implementation of OneNAND/Flex-OneNAND driver, but it is not working with OneNAND devices. Have observed the following in current OTP OneNAND Implmentation, 1. DataSheet specific sequence to lock the OTP Area is not followed. 2. Certain functions are quiet generic to cope with OTP specific activity. This patch re-implements OTP support for OneNAND device. How it is done? For all blocks, 8th word is available to the user. However, in case of OTP Block, 8th word of sector 0, page 0 is reserved as OTP Locking Bit area. Therefore, in case of OTP Block, user usage on this area is prohibited. Condition specific values are entered in the 8th word, sector0, page 0 of the OTP block during the process of issuing an OTP-Lock. The possible conditions are: 1. Only 1st Block Lock 2. Only OTP Block Lock 3. Lock both the 1st Block and the OTP Block What Other feature additions have been done in this patch? This patch adds feature for: 1. Only 1st Block Lock 2. Lock both the 1st Block and the OTP Blocks Re-implemented OTP support for OneNAND Added following features to OneNAND 1. Lock only 1st Block in OneNAND 2. Lock BOTH 1st Block and OTP Block in OneNAND [comments were slightly tweaked by Artem] Signed-off-by: Amul Kumar Saha Reviewed-by: Adrian Hunter Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse

UBI: Add ubi_open_volume_path

2009-11-24T06:18:54Z

Add an 'ubi_open_volume_path(path, mode)' function which works like 'open_bdev_exclusive(path, mode, ...)' where path is the special file representing the UBI volume, typically /dev/ubi0_0. This is needed to teach UBIFS being able to mount UBI character devices. [Comments and the patch were amended a bit by Artem] Signed-off-by: Corentin Chary Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy

mtd: unify status enum from three headers

2009-09-24T19:55:07Z

nand.h, onenand.h and flashchip.h defined enumeration types for chip status using the same symbolic names. This prevented a board file to include more than one of them. In particular, no nand and onenand platform devices could live in the same file. This patch augments flashchip.h with a few status values in order to cover all cases, so nand.h and onenand.h can use flstate_t without declaring their own status enum.

mtd: use bbm.h in nand.h

2009-09-24T19:54:59Z

This consolidates common code in nand.h and bbm.h. The comments and data structures were the same, this keeps the comment from nand.h as it fits 80 columns, while the one in bbm.h did not. Signed-off-by: Alessandro Rubini Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse
