[U-Boot] [PATCH 1/1] i.MX6: mx6qsabrelite: README: don't pass chip-select to sf probe command

[Javier Martinez Canillas]

since commit "c1173bd0: sf command: allow default bus and chip selects"
the chip-select and bus arguments for the sf probe command are optional.

Even when passing the chip-select to sf probe says to be optional, it
makes "sf erase" and "sf write" to fail on a mx6qsabrelite board. e.g:

MX6QSABRELITE U-Boot > sf probe 1
MX6QSABRELITE U-Boot > sf erase 0 0x40000
SPI flash erase failed
MX6QSABRELITE U-Boot > sf write 0x10800000 0 0x40000
SPI flash write failed

But just using "sf probe" works well. So, update the mx6qsabrelite
README so the commands will work on current U-Boot.

Well, the real reason is that the passed chipselect is wrong. Checking
in the configuration file, I see that the value to be passed should be
0x7300. I suppose (I am not testing) that "sf probe 0x7300" make sf
erase and sw write working.

I agree with the patch, but the description is wrong. Can you rewrite it
simply stating that the chipselect "1" is wrong and that it is not
strictly required (but again, is not forbidden) to pass it to sf probe ?

Best regards,
Stefano Babic

Hi Stefano, thanks a lot for your feedback.

Just for curiosity, in which configuration file did you see that? When
I had the issue I looked at
include/configs/{mx6qsabrelite,mx6_common}.h and
board/freescale/mx6qsabrelite/mx6qsabrelite.c but I didn't find what
chip-select was supposed to be used.

I'll send a v2 of the patch with this description:

    i.MX6: mx6qsabrelite: README: don't pass chip-select to sf probe command

    board/freescale/mx6qsabrelite/README explain a procedure to
    update the SPI-NOR on the SabreLite board without Freescale
    manufacturing tool but following this procedure leads to both
    "sf erase" and "sf write" failing on a mx6qsabrelite board:

    MX6QSABRELITE U-Boot > sf probe 1
    MX6QSABRELITE U-Boot > sf erase 0 0x40000
    SPI flash erase failed
    MX6QSABRELITE U-Boot > sf write 0x10800000 0 0x40000
    SPI flash write failed

    This is because the chip-select 1 is wrong and according the
    correct value is 0x7300.

    Since commit c1173bd0 ("sf command: allow default bus and chip selects"),
    the chip-select and bus arguments for the sf probe command are optional
    so let's just remove it and use "sf probe" instead.

include/configs/mx6qsabrelite.h:

#define CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_CS   (0|(IMX_GPIO_NR(3, 19)<<8))

It should be 0x7300

0x5300?

Right, forget to subtract 1.

I only remember this because I typed it in **many** times
before adding the default ;)

It's 0x5300 as listed in commit c1173bd0.

And the SABRE Lite README definitely needs updates.
