Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 6.19-5.15] misc: eeprom: Fix EWEN/EWDS/ERAL commands for 93xx56 and 93xx66
Date: Wed, 18 Feb 2026 21:03:42 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260219020422.1539798-6-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260219020422.1539798-1-sashal@kernel.org>
From: Markus Perkins <markus@notsyncing.net>
[ Upstream commit b54c82d6cbfc76647ba558e8e3647eb2b0ba0e2b ]
commit 14374fbb3f06 ("misc: eeprom_93xx46: Add new 93c56 and 93c66
compatible strings") added support for 93xx56 and 93xx66 eeproms, but
didn't take into account that the write enable/disable + erase all
commands are hardcoded for the 6-bit address of the 93xx46.
This commit fixes the command word generation by increasing the number
of shifts as the address field grows, keeping the command intact.
Also, the check for 8-bit or 16-bit mode is no longer required as this
is already taken into account in the edev->addrlen field.

## Analysis Summary
### What the commit fixes
This commit fixes **broken EWEN (write enable), EWDS (write disable),
and ERAL (erase all) commands** for 93xx56 and 93xx66 EEPROMs. When
commit 14374fbb3f06 added support for these larger EEPROM variants (in
v5.14), the SPI command word generation for these special commands was
not updated to account for the larger address fields.
The ADDR_EWEN (0x30), ADDR_EWDS (0x00), and ADDR_ERAL (0x20) constants
are defined for the 6-bit address space of the 93xx46. With the 93xx56
and 93xx66, the address space is 7-9 bits depending on variant and mode.
The old code only handled the 93xx46 case (shift by 0 for 16-bit, shift
by 1 for 8-bit). The fix generalizes the shift to `(edev->addrlen - 6)`,
correctly scaling for all variants.
### Bug Impact
Without this fix, EWEN/EWDS/ERAL commands send **incorrect SPI command
words** to 93xx56 and 93xx66 EEPROMs. This means:
- **Write operations will fail** because write-enable (EWEN) sends the
wrong command
- **Erase operations will fail** because ERAL sends the wrong command
- The EEPROM effectively becomes **read-only** because the write-enable
gate cannot be opened
This is a **data correctness / hardware functionality** bug for anyone
using 93xx56 or 93xx66 EEPROMs.
### Stable Kernel Rules Assessment
1. **Obviously correct and tested**: The fix is mathematically sound —
the shift formula `(addrlen - 6)` correctly generalizes the address
offset for all variants. The commit was accepted by Greg KH.
2. **Fixes a real bug**: Yes — write and erase operations are completely
broken for 93xx56/93xx66.
3. **Important issue**: Moderate — it makes the hardware unusable for
writes.
4. **Small and contained**: Yes — only 2 code hunks in one file,
changing 6 lines of logic code to 2, plus a comment.
5. **No new features**: Correct — this fixes existing broken
functionality.
6. **Applies cleanly**: Should apply to any tree that has the
prerequisite commit 14374fbb3f06 (v5.14+).
### Risk Assessment
- **Very low risk**: The fix is a simple arithmetic generalization. For
the 93xx46 case (addrlen=6 or 7), the new code produces identical
results to the old code. The change only affects 93xx56/93xx66 which
were already broken.
- **No regression risk for existing users**: 93xx46 users are unaffected
since `addrlen - 6 = 0` (16-bit) or `1` (8-bit), matching the original
behavior exactly.
### Verification
- **git log** confirmed commit 14374fbb3f06d exists in the tree and was
the commit that added 93c56/93c66 support (verified in
`drivers/misc/eeprom/eeprom_93xx46.c`)
- **git describe --contains** showed 14374fbb3f06d went into v5.14-rc1,
so stable trees v5.15.y, v6.1.y, v6.6.y, v6.12.y all contain the buggy
code
- **Code analysis** of `eeprom_93xx46_probe()` (lines 485-503) confirmed
addrlen calculation: `ilog2(size)` for 8-bit, `ilog2(size) - 1` for
16-bit
- **Manual verification** of the shift arithmetic for all 6 variant/mode
combinations confirmed the fix produces correct results
- **Backward compatibility verified**: For 93xx46 (addrlen=6 in 16-bit,
addrlen=7 in 8-bit), the new formula `<< (addrlen - 6)` produces `<<
0` and `<< 1` respectively, matching the old code's `else` and `if
(EE_ADDR8)` branches exactly
- The file `drivers/misc/eeprom/eeprom_93xx46.c` exists in the current
tree with the buggy code confirmed at lines 194-197 and 331-334
- The change was accepted via Greg KH (driver core maintainer), adding
confidence in correctness
**YES**
