[PATCH v3 0/1] Set FORCE_CSX bit when arbitration between NAND and NOR is enabled.

[PATCH v3 0/1] Set FORCE_CSX bit when arbitration between NAND and NOR is enabled.

[Kalyan Kinthada]

When the arbitration between NOR and NAND flash is enabled
the <FORCE_CSX> field bit[21] in the Data Flash Control Register
needs to be set to 1 according to guidleine GL-5830741
mentioned in Marvell Errata document MV-S501377-00, Rev. D.

Set the FORCE_CSX bit in NDCR for ARMADA370 variants as the arbitration
is always enabled by default. This change does not apply for pxa3xx
variants because FORCE_CSX bit does not exist/reserved on the NFCv1.

Ran the "flash_speed" tool on NAND flash on a board with
Armada-xp based SoC which uses only one NAND chip and not using
the arbiter. There is no regression or speed penalty
introduced due to this change.

Changes since v2:
Thanks Miquel RAYNAL for the suggestion.

* "mtd: nand: pxa3xx: Set FORCE_CSX bit to ARMADA370 variants."
  Modified commit message to mention that this change does not apply
  for pxa3xx variants.
  Fixed the missing space in comments.
  Removed unused macros "NDCR_ND_MODE" and "NDCR_NAND_MODE".

Changes since v1:
Thanks Miquel RAYNAL for the suggestion.

* Deleted: "dt-bindings: mtd: pxa3xx: Add "marvell,nand-force-csx" compatible string"
  Not necessary to create a new compatible string.

* "mtd: nand: pxa3xx: Set FORCE_CSX bit to ARMADA370 variants."
  Modified commit message.
  This commit sets the FORCE_CSX bit for all ARMADA370 variants.

[PATCH v3 1/1] mtd: nand: pxa3xx: Set FORCE_CSX bit to ARMADA370 variants.

[Kalyan Kinthada]

When the arbitration between NOR and NAND flash is enabled
the <FORCE_CSX> field bit[21] in the Data Flash Control Register
needs to be set to 1 according to guidleine GL-5830741 mentioned
in Marvell Errata document MV-S501377-00, Rev. D.

This commit sets the FORCE_CSX bit to 1 for all
ARMADA370 variants as the arbitration is always enabled by default.
This change does not apply for pxa3xx variants because the FORCE_CSX
bit does not exist/reserved on the NFCv1.

The NDCR_ND_MODE conflicts with the new NDCR_FORCE_CSX but is unused so
remove it along with NDCR_NAND_MODE.

Thanks for that, I checked it.

Sorry to bother you again but I am reworking the pxa3xx_nand driver and
so I would like to deeply understand why this is needed because I will
have to integrate it in my work too.

So please tell me what is your setup, do you really use NAND/NOR
arbitration? Do you have not-Don't Care CS NAND chips? I have some
doubts because even if the spec precises in the NAND controller chapter
that arbitration is always enabled by default, the bit 27 (NfArbiterEn)
in the SoC Device Multiplex Register at offset 0x00018208 is actually
at 0 by default (disabled). Did you enable this bit manually ? I
checked with devmem on my setup and this bit was unset.

Thank you for your time,
Miquèl

Yes, my setup use NAND/NOR arbitration and use a Don't
care CS Nand Chip. The bit 27 at offset 0x00018208 is set to 1
by default in my case. I did not manually set the bit 27 to 1.

Please let me now if you have any other question or do you want me
to send the updated patch version with the typo fixed.

Actually if you use Don't Care CS NAND chips you should not need the
force CS bit, as it is mentioned in the guidelines you pointed, this
bit is only useful for *not* don't care CS NAND chips (and the name
"force CS" is pretty straight forward too!).

Otherwise what bootloader and kernel do you use to have this
bit set by default? You may also want to check if this bit is set by
your bootloader by stopping it before it loads Linux and check manually
the value of this bit with 'md' (on U-Boot).

The real question is, is this patch fixing a real bug or are you just
setting this bit because a guideline says it should be set? As far as I
understand, noone fully understands what this bit does and why it needs
to be set, so if you're not fixing a real bug, I'd prefer keeping the
code unchanged code until someone complains for a good reason.

Regards,

Boris

Yes that's a fair summary. It is in a document called "Functional 
Errata" so there is some feeling here that we (allied telesis) should 
follow up things in these kinds of documents.

Agreed. We've certainly not noticed a change in behaviour on our boards. 
I've requested more information from Marvell through their support 
channels. I'll share what I can if/when they come back with something 
useful.

It's less straight forward than you think. It's FORCE_CSX (the X is 
important) which is defined as "force chip select false on busy". What 
it means is that the NF_CSn is de-asserted if the interface is 
arbitrated away from the NAND flash controller. I think that means you 
won't end up with the chip-select for the dev-bus/NOR firing immediately 
when that device is arbitrated.
