[PATCH] mtd: rawnand: marvell: ensure timing values are written

[PATCH] mtd: rawnand: marvell: ensure timing values are written

[Chris Packham]

When new timing values are calculated in marvell_nfc_setup_interface()
ensure that they will be applied in marvell_nfc_select_target() by
clearing the selected_chip pointer.

Notes:
    This at least gets me to a point where I can illustrated the problem
    reported to me. It appears that despite the chip correctly reporting
    support for SDR timing modes up to 4 the observed tWC is 20ns. I've not
    seen any actual problem running in this state the only complaint is that
    the datasheet says the minimum tWC is 25ns.
    
    If I make a change to my bootloader such that the NAND Clock Frequency
    Select bit (0xF2440700:0) to 1 before booting the kernel _and_ I remove
    the extra factor of 2 from the period_ns calculation I observe tWC of
    about 60ns. If I don't remove the factor of 2 the NAND interface doesn't
    work (can't write BBT).

I believe this patch deserves Fixes+Cc:stable?

Restored feels like the content vanished.

I agree. I just wasn't sure what to point at with the fixes tag since 
you mentioned that it's probably a result in some of the core NAND 
infrastructure changing.

Maybe b25251414f6e00 ("mtd: rawnand: marvell: Stop implementing 
->select_chip()") is the correct change to point at.

OK. Will send a v2 later today.

Sounds reasonable.
