[PATCH 00/16] mtd: nand: sunxi: various improvements/fixes

[Boris Brezillon]

Hi,

This patchset aims at fixing a few minor bugs, and improving performances
of NAND accesses going through the sunxi NAND controller.

Note that patch 5 exports functions provided by the core which are needed
in patch 6 to still support raw OOB accesses. Other patches are just
fixes or improvements only touching the sunxi driver itself.

Here are the main improvements:
- queue CLE/ALE requests instead of forcing the controller to issue each
  cmd and address cycle separately
- benefit from ECC correction on protected OOB bytes
- use polling instead of interrupt-based waiting (avoid scheduling
  overhead for short wait period)

I'm preparing another series based on this one to add page operations
and DMA support, which, according to my first tests will bring a huge
speed improvement (at least x2 on read accesses, and even more when
ONFI timing mode > 0 is used).

Stay tuned.

Best Regards,

Boris

[PATCH 01/16] mtd: nand: sunxi: fix call order in sunxi_nand_chip_init()

[Boris Brezillon]

sunxi_nand_chip_set_timings() is extracting a pointer to the nfc from the
nand->controller field, but this field is initialized after
sunxi_nand_chip_set_timings() call.
Reorder the calls to avoid any problem.

[PATCH 02/16] mtd: nand: sunxi: fix clk rate calculation

[Boris Brezillon]

Unlike what is specified in the Allwinner datasheets, the NAND clock rate
is not equal to 2/T but 1/T. Fix the clock rate selection accordingly.

When some HW works in a way that is *NOT* the one specified in the
datasheet, I think you should rather add *more* comments about this
aspect, rather than removing existing comments.

Fair enough (but you know how much I like documenting my code ;)). I'll
add a comment explaining why it differs from the datasheet
description :P.

[PATCH 03/16] mtd: nand: sunxi: fix EDO mode selection

[Boris Brezillon]

The ONFI spec says that EDO should be enabled if the host drives tRC less
than 30ns, but the code just tests for the tRC_min value extracted from
the timings exposed by the NAND chip not the timings actually configured
in the NAND controller.
Fix that by first rounding down the requested clk_rate with
clk_round_rate() and then checking if tRC is actually smaller than 30ns.

not big enough to provide an appropriate timing.

[PATCH 05/16] mtd: nand: export default read/write oob functions

[Boris Brezillon]

Export the default read/write oob functions (for the standard and syndrome
scheme), so that drivers can use them for their raw implementation and
implement their own functions for the normal oob operation.

This is required if your ECC engine is capable of fixing some of the OOB
data. In this case you have to overload the ->read_oob() and ->write_oob(),
but if you don't specify the ->read/write_oob_raw() functions they are
assigned to the ->read/write_oob() implementation, which is not what you
want.

[PATCH 06/16] mtd: nand: sunxi: implement ->read_oob()/->write_oob()

[Boris Brezillon]

Allwinner's ECC engine is capable of protecting a few bytes of the OOB
area. Implement specific OOB functions to benefit from this capability.

Also, when in raw mode, the randomizer is disabled, which means you'll
only be able to retrieve randomized data, which is not really useful
for most applications.

Being able to read subpages can greatly improve read performances if the
MTD user is only interested in a small section of a NAND page.
This is particularly true with large pages (>= 8k).

[PATCH 08/16] mtd: nand: sunxi: improve ->cmd_ctrl() function

[Boris Brezillon]

Try to pack address and command cycles into a single NAND controller
command to avoid polling the status register for each single change
on the NAND bus.

[PATCH 09/16] mtd: nand: sunxi: let the NAND controller control the CE line

[Boris Brezillon]

We don't need to manually toggle the CE line since the controller handles
it for us. Moreover, keeping the CE line low when interacting with a DDR
NAND can be problematic (data loss in some corner cases).

[PATCH 16/16] mtd: nand: sunxi: poll for events instead of using interrupts

[Boris Brezillon]

Some NAND operations are so fast that it doesn't make any sense to use
interrupt based waits (the scheduling overhead is not worth it).
Rename sunxi_nfc_wait_int() into sunxi_nfc_wait_events() and add a
parameter to specify whether polling should be used or not.

Note that all sunxi_nfc_wait_int() are moved to the polling approach now,
but this should change as soon as we have more information about the
approximate time we are about to wait (can be extracted from the NAND
timings, and the type of operation).

I'm applying this series since it only touches the sunxi NAND driver,
and I don't expect to have any external reviews :).
