[PATCH 0/3] eeprom: at25: support Cypress FRAMs without device ID

[Markus Heidelberg]

Hello,

currently supported FRAMs use compatible="cypress,fm25","atmel,at25" in
Devicetree, the memory size is read from its device ID.
For FRAMs without device ID this is not possible, so with these patches
the "size" property can be set manually as it is done for EEPROMs. In
that case the device ID is not read anymore.

This patch series is basically the same as the one marked as RFC four
months ago:

  https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250401133148.38330-1-m.heidelberg@cab.de/

Based on v6.17-rc1 now and extended by a comment to the at25 binding.

[PATCH 2/3] eeprom: at25: support Cypress FRAMs without device ID

[Markus Heidelberg]

Not all FRAM chips have a device ID and implement the corresponding read
command. For such chips this led to the following error on module
loading:

    at25 spi2.0: Error: no Cypress FRAM (id 00)

The device ID contains the memory size, so devices without this ID are
supported now by setting the size manually in Devicetree using the
"size" property.

Tested with FM25L16B and "size = <2048>;":

    at25 spi2.0: 2 KByte fm25 fram, pagesize 4096

According to Infineon/Cypress datasheets, these FRAMs have a device ID:

    FM25V01A
    FM25V02A
    FM25V05
    FM25V10
    FM25V20A
    FM25VN10

but these do not:

    FM25040B
    FM25640B
    FM25C160B
    FM25CL64B
    FM25L04B
    FM25L16B
    FM25W256

So all "FM25V*" FRAMs and only these have a device ID. The letter after
"FM25" (V/C/L/W) only describes the voltage range, though.

[PATCH 3/3] eeprom: at25: make FRAM device ID error message more precise

[Markus Heidelberg]

The error description would be wrong in case the "size" Devicetree
property is missing for an FRAM without device ID.
