[PATCH v4 0/7] Read MAC address from SST vendor specific SFDP region

[PATCH v4 0/7] Read MAC address from SST vendor specific SFDP region

[Manikandan Muralidharan]

Some Microchip/SST QSPI flashes (e.g. the SST26VF064BEUI) are factory
programmed with globally unique, write-protected EUI-48 and EUI-64
identifiers stored in a vendor-specific SFDP parameter table. On boards
that have no on-board EEPROM (sama5d27_wlsom1, sama5d29 curiosity,
sam9x75 curiosity) this is a reliable source for an Ethernet MAC address,
instead of relying on a U-Boot-provided or random address.

This v4 reworks the approach into a generic NVMEM framework with no vendor
code in the SPI NOR core:
 - The SPI NOR core now exposes the entire SFDP as a generic read-only
   NVMEM device, rooted at a new "sfdp" child node of the flash.
 - A new NVMEM layout driver (drivers/nvmem/layouts/) locates the
   Microchip vendor parameter table at runtime and presents the EUI-48 as
   a "mac-address" cell.
 - Arbitrary parameters can be read with a standard fixed-layout
   (known offset) or with an nvmem-layout parser (location discovered at runtime).

Changes in v4:
 - Rework per v3 review: remove the vendor-specific SFDP handling from the
   SPI NOR core; expose the whole SFDP as a generic read-only NVMEM device
   and move the EUI extraction into an nvmem-layout driver.
 - Introduce a new nvmem-layout driver to discover the vendor-table location
   at runtime; no offset hardcoded in the device tree.
 - Describe the SFDP via a dedicated "sfdp" subnode (compatible
   "jedec,sfdp"), which also resolves the v3 dtbs_check "Unevaluated
   properties ('nvmem-layout')" warning.
 - Reverse the stored EUI bytes into canonical MAC order.
 - Enable the layout in sama5_defconfig.

 Changes in v3:
 - 2/3 - add support to update the QSPI partition into 'fixed-partition'
   binding in sama5d27_wlsom1
 - 3/3 - add nvmem-layout in qspi node for EUI48 MAC Address and nvmem cell
   properties for macb node in sama5d27_wlsom1

Changes in v2:
 - 1/3 - parse the SST vendor table, read and store the addresses
  into a resource - managed space. Register the addresses
  into NVMEM framework
 - 2/3 - add support to update the QSPI partition into 'fixed-partition'
  binding

[PATCH v4 1/7] dt-bindings: mtd: jedec,spi-nor: allow the SFDP to be exposed via NVMEM

[Manikandan Muralidharan]

Add an optional "sfdp" child node (compatible "jedec,sfdp") that
describes the SFDP as a read-only NVMEM provider via nvmem.yaml, so its
contents (e.g. a vendor EUI-48/EUI-64) can be read through NVMEM cells.

[PATCH v4 3/7] mtd: spi-nor: sfdp: expose the SFDP as a read-only NVMEM device

[Manikandan Muralidharan]

Register the cached SFDP as a read-only NVMEM device rooted at the
flash's "sfdp" child node, exposing it in on-flash byte order. This lets
NVMEM cells reference any SFDP data: a fixed-layout for parameters at a
known offset, or an nvmem-layout parser for vendor data whose location
must be discovered at runtime. The device is only registered when an
"sfdp" node is present in the device tree.

[PATCH v4 4/7] nvmem: layouts: add Microchip/SST SFDP EUI layout driver

[Manikandan Muralidharan]

Add an NVMEM layout that exposes the factory-programmed EUI-48 identifier
from the Microchip/SST vendor SFDP parameter table (e.g. SST26VF064BEUI)
as a "mac-address" cell, for use as a network MAC address. The vendor
table is located at runtime via the SFDP NVMEM device (no offset in DT),
and a read_post_process callback reverses the LSB-first bytes into
canonical MAC order. Binds to an "nvmem-layout" node with compatible
"microchip,sst26vf-sfdp-eui".

[PATCH v4 5/7] ARM: dts: microchip: sama5d27_wlsom1: use fixed-partitions for QSPI flash

[Manikandan Muralidharan]

Move the QSPI flash partitions under a "partitions" node with the
"fixed-partitions" compatible, as required by the current MTD partition
binding, instead of declaring them as direct children of the flash node.
No functional change.

[PATCH v4 6/7] ARM: dts: microchip: sama5d27_wlsom1: read MAC address from QSPI SFDP

[Manikandan Muralidharan]

Describe the QSPI flash SFDP as an NVMEM provider with the
microchip,sst26vf-sfdp-eui layout, which exposes the factory-programmed
EUI-48 as a "mac-address" cell, and point macb0 at it through
nvmem-cells. This yields a stable MAC address on boards where U-Boot does
not program one, instead of falling back to a random address.

I would expect it to follow nvmem conventions like this, notice
compatibles specific-to-general with sfdp first:

sfdp {
    /* NVMEM provided by SFDP */
    compatible = "jedec,sfdp", "nvmem-cells";
    label = "SFDP";
    read-only;
    #address-cells = <1>;
    #size-cells = <1>;

    mac0: macaddr@0x00 {
        reg = <0x00 0x06>;
    };
    mac1: macaddr@0x06 {
        reg = <0x06 0x06>;
    };
};

Your example should definitely be more elaborate like this,
just an opaque sfdp node will not suffice. Maybe a separate
example?

Yours,
Linus Walleij

It seems the existing serial NOR driver core already reads out the SFDP
and stores it in  nor->sfdp->dwords, right?

This should be mentioned in the commit so we know when the stuff
is actually read in from the flash memory.

Add "if and only if the flash has an SFDP"

Name it _reg_read() to mirror the nvmem prototype.

If this node name is required to be named like that it has to be
enforced in the schema.

I would instead check all the nodes (for_each_available_child)
for the right compatible "jedec,sfdp".
