Re: [PATCH v5 2/2] mtd: rawnand: use bit-wise majority to recover the contents of ONFI parameter

[Boris Brezillon <boris.brezillon@bootlin.com>]

Hi Jane,

Subject prefix should be "[PATCH v5] ...", the 2/2 is no longer valid
since you only have one patch here.

There should be a changelog here describing what has changed in each
version of the patch.

Not sure we need that macro, see below.

I'd prefer to have nbufs just after srcbufs and named nsrcbufs:

static void nand_bit_wise_majority(const void **srcbufs,
				   unsigned int nsrcbufs,
				   void *dstbuf,
				   unsigned int bufsize)

Nope, I'd like to support the cases where srcbufs are not contiguous,
so that does not work.

You can declare the v variable here, since its scope is limited to the
for loop. BTW, v, m, can't we pick better names? I guess v is for val,
but I'm not even sure what m stands for.

			for (k = 0; k < nbufs; k++) {
				const u8 *srcbuf = srcbufs[j];

				if (srcbuf[i] & BIT(k))
					m++;
			}

Space between operands and operators please

			if (m > nbufs / 2)

Thanks,
