Joern Engel 5fa433942b [MTD] Introduce MTD_BIT_WRITEABLE
o Add a flag MTD_BIT_WRITEABLE for devices that allow single bits to be
  cleared.
o Replace MTD_PROGRAM_REGIONS with a cleared MTD_BIT_WRITEABLE flag for
  STMicro and Intel Sibley flashes with internal ECC.  Those flashes
  disallow clearing of single bits, unlike regular NOR flashes, so the
  new flag models their behaviour better.
o Remove MTD_ECC.  After the STMicro/Sibley merge, this flag is only set
  and never checked.

Joern Engel c8b229de2b [MTD] Merge STMicro NOR_ECC code with Intel Sibley code
In 2002, STMicro started producing NOR flashes with internal ECC protection
for small blocks (8 or 16 bytes).  Support for those flashes was added by me.
In 2005, Intel Sibley flashes copied this strategy and Nico added support for
those.  Merge the code for both.

There is a second revision of "mtdconcat NAND/Sibley" patch. I hope
the patch will not get damaged as I'm posting it from gmail account,
thanks to Jorn.

The patch adds previously missing concat_writev(),

functions to make concatenation layer compatible with Sibley and NAND
chips.

Patch has been cleared from whitespaces, fixed some lines of code as

Sergei Shtylyov 35af68b53a NAND: Fix NAND ECC errors on AMD Au1550
On AMD Au1550 the static bus controller fails to keep -CE asserted during
chip ready delay on read commands and the NAND chip being used requires this.
So, the current driver allows nand_base.c to drive -CE manually during the
entire sector read. When the PCMCIA driver is enabled however, occasionally
the ECC errors occur on NAND reads. This happens because the PCMCIA driver
polls sockets periodically and reads one of the board's control/status regs
(BCSRs) which are on the same static bus as the NAND flash, and just use
another chip select (and the NOR flash also resides on that bus), so as the
NAND driver forces NAND chip select asserted and the -RE signal is shared, a
contention occurs on the static bus when BCSR or NOR flash is read while we're
reading from NAND.
    So, we either can't keep interrupts enabled during the whole NAND sector
read (which is hardly acceptable), or have to implement some interlocking
scheme between multiple drivers (which is painful, and makes me shudder :-).
    There's a third way which has proven to work: to force -CE asserted only
while we're waiting for a NAND chip to become ready after a read command,
disabling interrupts for a maximum of 25 microseconds (according to Toshiba
TC58DVM92A1FT00 datasheet -- this chip is mentioned in the board schematics);
for Samsung NAND chip which seems to be actually used this delay is even less,
12 us.

Sergei Shtylyov 155285c477 NAND: AMD Au1550 driver reads write-only register
During the last cleanup of the AMD Au1550 NAND driver the old buglet was
reintroduced: as the MEM_STNDCTL register is write-only and seem to always
read as 0x31, read-modify-write to it done in au1xxx_nand_init() will have the
side effect of enabling -RCS0/1 pin override (via bits 4/5 of this reg.), thus
possibly causing a contention on the static bus when the NOR flash (using
-RCS0) or board control status registers (using -RCS2) are read. Luckily, this
goes away with a first NAND access, since au1550_hwcontrol() doesn't try to
read this register before writing anymore.

David Woodhouse 0f5ae3d2e9 [MTD] Deal correctly with NOR chips which are smaller than the map window
We used to calculate the number of chips to be zero, allocate an array
of that size, then nasty things would happen when we attempt to access
the first object in that zero-sized array.

Now, if the number of _full_ chips that would fit into the map is zero,
we allocate an array of one anyway, and then artificially reduce the
total size of the resulting MTD device to fit in the map.

Memory is allocated to the variable 'name' with kmalloc() by the

then that memory is never kfree()'d, nor is it ever used with

Lennert Buytenhek 73566edf9b [MTD] Convert physmap to platform driver
After dwmw2 let me know it ought to be done, I rewrote the physmap map
driver to be a platform driver.  I know zilch about the driver model,
so I probably botched it in some way, but I've done some tests on an
ixp23xx board which uses physmap, and it all seems to work.

In order to not break existing physmap users, I've added some compat
code that will instantiate a platform device iff CONFIG_MTD_PHYSMAP_LEN
is defined and != 0.  Also, I've changed the default value for
CONFIG_MTD_PHYSMAP_LEN to zero, so that people who inadvertently
compile in physmap (or new, platform-style, users of physmap) don't get
burned.

This works pretty well -- the new physmap driver is a drop-in replacement
for the old one, and works on said ixp23xx board without any code changes
needed.  (This should hold as long as users don't touch 'physmap_map'
directly.)

Once all physmap users have been converted to instantiate their own
platform devices, the compat code can go.  (Or we decide that we can
change all the in-tree users at the same time, and never merge the
compat code.)

Lennert Buytenhek 7d532dd50d ts72xx NAND driver
The TS-72xx is a series of embedded single board computers from
Technologic Systems based on the Cirrus ep93xx (arm920t based) CPU.

The TS-7200 uses NOR flash, while all the other models in the series
(TS-7250, TS-7260) use NAND flash -- included is a driver for the NAND
flash on those boards.

Joern Engel 954c242273 mtd: improve parameter parsing for block2mtd
Expand the parameter parsing for block2mtd.  It now accepts:
Ki, Mi, Gi	- the official prefixes for binary multiples,
		  see http://physics.nist.gov/cuu/Units/binary.html,
ki		- mistake on my side and analog to "k" for decimal multiples,
KiB, MiB, GiB	- for people that prefer to add a "B" for byte,
kiB		- combination of the above.

There were complaints about not accepting "k" for 1024.  This has long
been common practice, but is known to lead to confusion.  Hence the new
SI units and hence block2mtd only accepts units that cannot be confused
with decimal units.  Diverging from common practice doesn't always please
people, even if the change is for the better.

mtdblock is the only user of aggregate capabilities in mtd.  This is clearly

Remove the blkmtd driver.

- An alternative exists (block2mtd) that hasn't had  bug report for > 1 year.

- Most embedded people tend to use ancient kernels with custom patches from
  mtd cvs and elsewhere, so the 1 year warning period neither helps nor hurts
  them too much.

- It's in the way of klibc.  The problems caused by pulling blkmtd support
  are fairly low, while the problems caused by delaying klibc can be fairly
  substantial.  At best, this would be a severe burden on hpa's time.

John Bowler 9cff3372bf [PATCH] drivers/mtd/redboot.c: recognise a foreign byte sex partition table
The RedBoot boot loader writes flash partition tables containing native
byte sex 32 bit values.  When booting an opposite byte sex kernel (e.g.  an
LE kernel from BE RedBoot) the current MTD driver fails to handle the
partition table and therefore is unable to generate the correct partition
map for the flash.

So far as I am aware this problem is ARM specific, because only ARM
supports software change of the CPU (memory system) byte sex, however the
partition table parsing is in generic MTD code.  The patch below has been
tested on NSLU2 (an IXP4XX based system) with a patch,
10-ixp4xx-copy-from.patch (submitted to linux-arm-kernel - it's ARM
specific) required to make the maps/ixp4xx.c driver work with an LE kernel.

Builds of the patched system are in the 'unstable' release of OpenSlug and
UcSlugC available from www.nslu2-linux.org.  These builds are BE, the
archives at www.nslu2-linux.org and www.handhelds.org (see
monotone.vanille.de) can be built LE (currently DISTRO targets
nslu-ltu.conf for LE thumb uclibc (32 bit kernel) and nslu2-lau.conf,
nslu2-lag.conf for LE arm uclibc/glibc) and this patch has been tested
extensively will both BE and LE systems on the NSLU2 (including swapping
between BE and LE by reflashing from both RedBoot and Linux).

The patch recognises that the FIS directory (the partition table) is
byte-reversed by examining the partition table size, which is known to be
one erase block (this is an assumption made elsewhere in redboot.c).  If
the size matches the erase block after byte swapping the value then
byte-reversal is assumed, if not no further action is taken.  The patched
code is fail safe; should redboot.c be changed to support a partition table
with a modified size field the test will fail and the partition table will
be assumed to have the host byte sex.

If byte-reversal is detected the patch byte swaps the remainder of the 32
bit fields in the copy of the table; this copy is then used to set up the
MTD partition map.

Simon Vogl c314b6f1fa [PATCH] cfi: init wait queue in chip struct
Fix a kernel oops for Intel P30 flashes, where the wait queue head was not
initialized for the flchip struct, which in turn caused a crash at the
first read operation.
