Question regarding Linux-6.3.5 and Sunxi A20 NAND/NFC support

[Fawad Lateef]

Hi,

I am trying to make Linux-6.3.5 working on Olimex/Sunxi A20 SOM with NAND.

Found that the Sunxi A20 NAND is supported in mainline kernel
(drivers/mtd/nand/raw/sunxi_nand.c) and following the guidelines here
(https://linux-sunxi.org/Mainline_NAND_Howto); I added the NFC chip
pin information in sunxi-a20.dtsi and defined/enabled the nfc
controller in the sunxi-a20-olinuxino-micro.dts files.

The changes I made are below. Problem is when I define the nfc node
entry in dts file "without" pinctrl entry (pinctrl-0 = <&nand_pins_a>,
<&nand_cs0_pins_a>, <&nand_rb0_pins_a>;), the sunxi_nfc_probe function
is called (though the No NAND chip is detected).

And if I define the pinctrl-0  in the nfc node, all I see related to
NAND/sunxi in the kernel boot log is this line:  platform
1c03000.nand-controller: deferred probe pending.

Can someone please guide me why the deferred probe is pending but
never call the sunxi_nfc_probe function?  And without pinctrl-0 entry
why probe function is being called?

Seems like I am missing something basic here and any pointers to debug
this will be appreciated.

Thanks for the suggestion diff. Can you submit it as formal patch against
current sunxi/for-next tree [1]? See
Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst for how to properly submit
patches.

Thanks.

Sorry for my unclear email. I am currently facing issues when trying
to enable and use the MTD driver for A20 SOM (implemented and likely
maintained by Boris Brezillion); I am confused why the probe is not
called in deferred probe case and overall NAND on A20 SOM is not
detected.

I hope to get help in this regard, and of-course as soon as I got it
working, I will submit patches to be included in the kernel and DTS
files.

I am not sure why there are DTS files for A20 SOMs (especially one
sunxi-a20-olinuxino-micro.dts  which supposed to have NAND on the SOM)
without any NAND pinctrl and nfc node defined. When the kernel have
driver for it and I assume it should be working.

Added Boris Brezellion in the CC list, hoping to get some pointers and
suggestions from him too.

Thanks

Hi everyone,

Can someone guide me? I am not sure what I am missing here.

I am trying to debug the code but I assume that the SUNXI NAND driver
is supposed to be working and that something is missing from my
changes and additions to the dts/dtsi for A20 SOM.

Thanks in advance

Hi there Fawad,

I've hit this problem before and it's usually been because the pins are being
used by another peripheral already

Could you post the kernel log? It might have some notes on this.

John.

Hi John,

Thanks for your help. I found the reason for my issue. I defined the
pinctrl information under the "soc" next to "nfc" entry in
sunxi-a20.dtsi which was messing it up.

I moved them inside the "pio" dtsi block and NAND is detected now.
Though almost all blocks are reported as bad-blocks.  I am thinking
that it's happening as I don't have partition information defined in
DTS. Do you think that this is the reason for bad-blocks reporting?

Regards,

Fawad Lateef

I don't have much knowledge here but you might want to confirm the
contents of your bad block table is being read and has correct values.

This might help: https://linux-sunxi.org/Mainline_NAND_Howto
