Subject: [PATCH] mtd: nand: davinci: Fix unaligned 16-bit NAND read
Date: Fri, 21 Oct 2016 10:26:05 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20161021092605.GA14609@gmail.com> (raw)

This patch fixes a rare bug when reading from 16-bit NAND flashes, by
not allowing 8-bit read accesses within nand_davinci_read_buf().

In certain situations, an non 16-bit aligned buffer is passed to
nand_davinci_read_buf(), which causes 8-bit accesses to be performed.
However, the NAND will be returning 16-bit words, and half of these will
be discarded.

This was observed when running mtd_stresstest.ko, which would report ECC
errors when reading from a non 16-bit aligned offset into a page, and
reading at least one subsequent page in the same read.
