Subject: [PATCH 00/10] mtd: spi-nor: cleanups + block protection support updates
Date: Tue, 1 Sep 2015 12:57:05 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1441137435-52862-1-git-send-email-computersforpeace@gmail.com> (raw)
[Note: as this is sent out during the merge window, it's based on the
semi-unofficial l2-mtd.git/next branch, which is targeting 4.4, not 4.3]
Hi all,
I've been reviewing various spi-nor drivers as well as working with some
Winbond flash to support new locking features. The former helped point out a
few more things that could use some improvement, and the latter suggested that
we have some glaring oversights in the spi-nor lock/unlock code.
<side note>
Some helpful companion code, for mtd-utils:
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-mtd/2015-August/061526.html
This extends the flash_lock tool so that you can more easily test specific
ranges, using:
# flash_lock --lock /dev/mtdX <offset> <block-count>
# flash_lock --unlock /dev/mtdX <offset> <block-count>
# flash_lock --islocked /dev/mtdX <offset> <block-count>
</side note>
The first half of this series is fairly self-explanatory. The second might take
a bit of thought, as a formulaic approach is a little more subtle than a
table-based approach, so I tried to copy the relevant portions distilled from a
few datasheets and include comments. Please shout if anything deserves more
explanation or looks funny to you.
Highlights:
* clean up spi-nor.h header
* spi-nor now supports MEMISLOCKED
* MEM{LOCK,UNLOCK} support is a little more robust and extendible
* turn on dual/quad read for Winbond w25q{32,64}dw
* enable block protection for Winbond flash
Regards,
Brian
