[PATCH v3 0/3] Read MAC Address from SST vendor specific SFDP region

[Manikandan Muralidharan]

This patch series adds support to parse the SFDP SST vendor map, read and
store the EUI-48 and EUI-64 Address (if its programmed) using the
resource-managed devm_kcalloc which will be freed on driver detach.
Register EUI addresses into NVMEM framework for the net drivers to access
them using nvmem properties.
This change ensures consistent and reliable MAC address retrieval
from QSPI benefiting boards like the sama5d27_wlsom1, sama5d29 curiosity
and sam9x75 curiosity.

--------
changes in v3:
- 2/3 - add support to update the QSPI partition into 'fixed-partition'
	binding in sama5d27_wlsom1
- 3/3 - add nvmem-layout in qspi node for EUI48 MAC Address and nvmem cell
	properties for macb node in sama5d27_wlsom1

changes in v2:
- 1/3 - parse the SST vendor table, read and store the addresses
	into a resource - managed space. Register the addresses
	into NVMEM framework
- 2/3 - add support to update the QSPI partition into 'fixed-partition'
	binding

[PATCH v3 1/3] mtd: spi-nor: sfdp: parse SFDP SST vendor map and register EUI addresses into NVMEM framework

[Manikandan Muralidharan]

Some SST flash like SST26VF064BEUI serial quad flash memory is programmed
at the factory with a globally unique EUI-48 and EUI-64 identifiers stored
in the SFDP vendor parameter table and it is permanently write-protected.

Add SST Vendor table SFDP parser to read the EUI-48 and EUI-64
Mac Addresses and allocate them using resource-managed devm_kcalloc
which will be freed on driver detach.

Regitser the Addresses into NVMEM framework and parse them when
requested using the nvmem properties in the DT by the net drivers.
In kernel the Ethernet MAC address relied on U-Boot env variables or
generated a random address, which posed challenges for boards without
on-board EEPROMs or with multiple Ethernet ports.
This change ensures consistent and reliable MAC address retrieval
from QSPI benefiting boards like the sama5d27-wlsom1-ek, sama5d29 curiosity
and sam9x75 curiosity.

you may want to keep pointer first to avoid padding, if any.

Please find a way to move the vendor specific handling to a vendor file,
don't pollute the core drivers. In what concerns the nvmem idea, I find
it fine. Michael may comment more on it as I think he dealt with a
similar use case in the past.

Cheers,

IIRC I've suggested to move the handling into the core, but it
should be more generic, not handling any MAC address related things,
but more like a framework/helper functions to expose anything
related to SFDP.

[PATCH v3 3/3] ARM: dts: microchip: sama5d27_wlsom1: Add nvmem-layout in QSPI for EUI48 MAC Address

[Manikandan Muralidharan]

Add nvmem-layout in QSPI to read the EUI48 Mac address by the
net drivers using the nvmem property.The offset is set to 0x0
since the factory programmed address is available in the
resource managed space and the size determine if the requested
address is of EUI48 (0x6) or EUI-64 (0x8) type.
This is useful for cases where U-Boot is skipped and the Ethernet
MAC address is needed to be configured by the kernel

How would this work if in the future the mchp vendor table adds some
other info that needs to be referenced as nvmem? How do you distinguish
the info from the table?
Would it be possible to have some kind of address and size to reference
the SFDP?

I was previously advised not to hardcode the offset in the Device Tree 
[1]. In the current implementation (patch 1/3), the read callback for 
the MCHP vendor table distinguishes between EUI-48 and EUI-64 MAC 
addresses based on the nvmem size, which corresponds to the size of the 
respective MAC address.

IMHO this should be "sfdp {".

Please read my feedback on the first version again..

For the DT maintainers. The SFDP is a small table based content that
provide basic information about the flash. There are standard tables
which are specified by the JEDEC standard and there are vendor
tables, most of the time without proper documentation (or none at
all).

Somehow we need to specify at what table we want to look at. I'd
like to see a binding which can potentially expose anything inside
the SFDP.

So I've suggested to use "compatible = jedec,sfdp-vendor-table-NNNN"
where NNNN is the table parameter id. Additionally, the standard ids
could have names like "jedec,sfdp-bfpt" (basic flash parameter table).

So in your case that would be:

flash {
	sfdp {
		mac_address: table-1 {
			compatible = "jedec,sfdp-idNNNN";
		};
	};
};

I don't know what NNNN is. Could you please provide a dump of the
sfdp of your flash.

Should the nvmem-layout be included as a child node under sfdp {}, or 
should it be implemented as a separate vendor-specific driver to handle 
the changes introduced in patch 1/3 ?

The vendor parameter ID is 'BF' if I am not wrong.

There is no nvmem-layout involved here.

But another possibility is to make it one. Then you have to
 (1) expose the *entire* sfpd as a nvmem device
 (2a) write an nvmem-layouts driver (in drivers/nvmem/layouts/)
 (2b) come up with a DT binding that is generic enough to expose
      various parameters of the SFDP, not just a one-off for the
      MAC address use case.

Maybe that is even a better fit.

Please dump it according to [1], so we have it in a machine readable
format.

My bot found new DTB warnings on the .dts files added or changed in this
series.

Some warnings may be from an existing SoC .dtsi. Or perhaps the warnings
are fixed by another series. Ultimately, it is up to the platform
maintainer whether these warnings are acceptable or not. No need to reply
unless the platform maintainer has comments.

If you already ran DT checks and didn't see these error(s), then
make sure dt-schema is up to date:

  pip3 install dtschema --upgrade


This patch series was applied (using b4) to base:
 Base: attempting to guess base-commit...
 Base: tags/next-20250516 (best guess, 2/3 blobs matched)

If this is not the correct base, please add 'base-commit' tag
(or use b4 which does this automatically)
