[U-Boot] [PATCH v7 1/5] mtd: nand: omap: enable BCH ECC scheme using ELM for generic platform

[Pekon Gupta]

BCH8_ECC scheme implemented in omap_gpmc.c driver has following favours
+-----------------------------------+-----------------+-----------------+
|ECC Scheme                         | ECC Calculation | Error Detection |
+-----------------------------------+-----------------+-----------------+
|OMAP_ECC_BCH8_CODE_HW              |GPMC             |ELM H/W engine   |
|OMAP_ECC_BCH8_CODE_HW_DETECTION_SW |GPMC             |S/W BCH library  |
+-----------------------------------+-----------------+-----------------+

Current implementation limits the BCH8_CODE_HW only for AM33xx device family.
(using CONFIG_AM33XX). However, other SoC families (like TI81xx) also have
ELM hardware module, and can support ECC error detection using ELM.

This patch
- removes CONFIG_AM33xx
	Thus this driver can be reused by all devices having ELM h/w engine.
- removes CONFIG_NAND_OMAP_BCH8 and adds new CONFIG_NAND_OMAP_ECCSCHEME
	CONFIG_NAND_OMAP_ECCSCHEME determines ecc-scheme to be used
	refer doc/README.nand and board/ti/am335x/README
- adds omap_select_ecc_scheme()
	A common function to handle ecc-scheme related configurations. This
	can be used both during device-probe and via user-space u-boot commads
	to change ecc-scheme. During device probe ecc-scheme is selected based
	on CONFIG_NAND_OMAP_ECCSCHEME.
- enables CONFIG_BCH
	S/W library (lib/bch.c) required by OMAP_ECC_BCH8_CODE_HW_DETECTION_SW
  	is enabled by CONFIG_BCH.
- enables CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ONFI_DETECTION
	for auto-detection of ONFI compliant NAND devices
- updates following README doc
	doc/README.nand
	board/ti/am335x/README
	doc/README.omap3

Do you have an overview, which TI devices actually have this ELM h/w
engine integrated? Especially if its integrated in the OMAP3530 SoC? I'm
currently scanning the users manual and can't find any reference to this
IP block.

Thanks,

You should document the symbols, not the numbers that happen to be
assigned to them.

Check this before you make any changes to the current ECC setup.

You won't need to "revert" here if omap_select_ecc_scheme doesn't damage
anything in error cases.

Sorry din't get you. This is based on your below feedback
http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2013-September/162773.html

Example: "6 - BCH8_HW" means 8-bit BCH ECC scheme using h/w engine.
It is this number is what user needs to specify in include/configs/*.h
Any other internal symbol like "OMAP_ECC_BCH8_CODE_SW" should
not be exposed to user, user-interface should remain constant. This is
similar to DT binding approach used in linux. Internal symbols are not
exposed to users.

If this is only the cosmetic change, may be I'll take it separately
in another patch. Also 'omap_select_ecc_scheme()' has default
statement in last, which gracefully handles all un-supported ecc-schemes.

'ecclayout->eccbytes' depends on ECC scheme selected, therefore
this check cannot be done before selecting ECC scheme first.

There are two cases when ECC selection could fail half-way:
(1) when if(ecclayout->eccbytes + BADBLOCK > oobsize), as this check
  can only be done after selecting ECC scheme so it can fail

(2) if 'bch_priv.control	= init_bch(13, 8, 0x201b);' fails.
This check is also is done during ecc-scheme selection.

In both above cases, nand_chip.ecc information is half-configured
so this reverting back to old ecc-scheme is essential.

I disagree.  The user should specify OMAP_ECC_BCH8_CODE_SW.  It's more
greppable, and it's more likely that the number will change than that
the name will.

This is a shortcoming of device trees that we should not emulate in C
code.

It certainly can be done before you make any changes to the ECC struct.

You could either do it in each individual case, or you could have two
separate switch statements with this code in between them.

If you really can't avoid the damage in error cases, move the cleanup
code into omap_select_ecc_scheme().

I agree with Scott, enum (if it's not already one) and use the name so
it's clear what you're picking.

Don't know if its short-coming of device-tree or difference between
u-boot and kernel ideologies. But use of internal symbols (enums) in DT
was  opposed by one of the kernel maintainers. Refer below:

Having 2 switch statements would clutter the code. Isn't it ?
(1) first switch-case would do a dry-run to check the ecc requirements.
(2) second switch-case would do actual assignments.

And omap_select_ecc_scheme() would be called only once in whole
lifetime, because:
(1) omap devices have deprecated the dynamic switching of ecc-schemes.
(2) with falcon-mode where SPL directly loads kernel, most driver configs
   would be statically derived from CONFIGS_xx.

Anyways I would take the changes if you wish so..
But request you to please provide comments on all the patches, before
I send next revision. This would help me consolidate all changes.

As described above, this has dependency on ecc information
So again I have to go by 2 switch statement approach which would
clutter the code. I'm okay if you want it so..

But request you to review and provide comments to other patches
of this series, OR else atleast Ack/Nak them. This way my effort on
re-working and testing the patches again and again would reduce.

So, should I wait for review of other remaining patches before
sending next version v8 of this series ?

It's a different situation.  The device tree is supposed to be stable
ABI.  This isn't.  The device tree is also supposed to be OS-independent
and thus taking Linux identifiers as-is is frowned upon (as the Linux
identifiers may change, plus device tree properties use a different
style for naming).

It's not a general difference between U-Boot and Linux.

It wouldn't be that bad.  It would eliminate the need for recovery code
and substantially reduce the complexity of a (likely little-tested, at
least long term) error path.

I'm working on it, but I also have a lot of other patches to review, and
doing nothing but patch reviews all day long can be very draining (not
to mention starving other tasks that need to be done), and reviewing
patches for hardware I'm not familiar with is even worse.  I realize
that the delays can be frustrating from your end, but I only have so
much time and energy to expend.  Is there nobody else who's familiar
with this driver that can help review?  Looking at the commit history no
single person stands out as a logical maintainer for this driver.  It
would be nice to designate someone.

Firstly my apologies for being bit aggressive in getting patches
reviewed. Yes, I was bit irritated as patch re-submissions were
taking much of my energy and time as well, while lot of other things
are still pending on me to cleanup this driver and add functionality to it.

And I understand the patch reviewing is tough because reviewer
needs to first understand the driver & hardware context, and then
reply from a broader point of view of generic frame-work.

Currently I'm the only supporting NAND driver in both kernel and
u-boot from omap side. And therefore, I plan to get both u-boot and 
kernel nand drivers cleaned-up and optimized, so that it becomes
scalable for future enhancements.
Aim is to get most of end-users to boot from mainline, so that they
are self dependent and up-to-date to new frameworks.

Once I'm done with my current commitments, I can help you in getting
some enhancements for generic framework.
For example, following patch adds checks for automatic bus-width
detection in generic NAND framework.
http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2013-September/163882.html

Hope such things help reduce some of your load.
And thanks again for the reviews, I'll submit next revision of patch soon.

[U-Boot] [PATCH v7 2/5] mtd: nand: omap: optimize chip->ecc.hwctl() for H/W ECC schemes

[Pekon Gupta]

chip->ecc.hwctl() is used for preparing the H/W controller before read/write
NAND accesses (like assigning data-buf, enabling ECC scheme configs, etc.)

Though all ECC schemes in OMAP NAND driver use GPMC controller for generating
ECC syndrome (for both Read/Write accesses). But but in current code
HAM1_ECC and BCHx_ECC schemes implement individual function to achieve this.
This patch
(1) removes omap_hwecc_init() and omap_hwecc_init_bch()
as chip->ecc.hwctl will re-initializeGPMC before every read/write call.
omap_hwecc_init_bch() -> omap_enable_ecc_bch()

(2) merges the GPMC configuration code for all ECC schemes into
single omap_enable_hwecc(), thus adding scalability for future ECC schemes.
omap_enable_hwecc() + omap_enable_ecc_bch() -> omap_enable_hwecc()

[U-Boot] [PATCH v7 3/5] mtd: nand: omap: optimize chip->ecc.calculate() for H/W ECC schemes

[Pekon Gupta]

chip->ecc.calculate() is used for calculating and fetching of ECC syndrome by
processing the data passed during Read/Write accesses.

All H/W based ECC schemes use GPMC controller to calculate ECC syndrome.
But each BCHx_ECC scheme has its own implemetation of post-processing and
fetching ECC syndrome from GPMC controller.

This patch updates OMAP_ECC_BCH8_CODE_HW ECC scheme in following way:
- merges multiple chip->calculate API for different ECC schemes
  omap_calculate_ecc() + omap_calculate_ecc_bch() + omap_calculate_ecc_bch_sw()
				==> omap_calculate_ecc()
- removes omap_ecc_disable() and instead uses it as inline.

Shouldn't "case OMAP_ECC_BCH8_CODE_HW_DETECTION_SW:" be inside the
"#ifdef CONFIG_BCH" so that you get -EINVAL if the implementation isn't
there?

[U-Boot] [PATCH v7 4/5] mtd: nand: omap: optimized chip->ecc.correct() for H/W ECC schemes

[Pekon Gupta]

chip->ecc.correct() is used for detecting and correcting bit-flips during read
operations. In omap-nand driver it implemented as:
(a) omap_correct_data(): for h/w based ECC_HAM1 scheme
(b) omap_correct_data_bch() + CONFIG_NAND_OMAP_ECC_BCH8_CODE_HW_DETECTION_SW
	for ECC_BCH8 scheme using GPMC and software lib/bch.c
(c) omap_correct_data_bch() + CONFIG_NAND_OMAP_ECC_BCH8_CODE_HW
	for ECC_BCH8 scheme using GPMC and ELM

This patch updates (c)
- checks for calc_ecc[]==0x00 so that error_correction is not required for
  known good pages.
- adds scalability for other ECC_BCHx scheme by merging following
  omap_rotate_ecc_bch() + omap_fix_errors_bch() => omap_correct_data_bch()
- fixing logic for bit-flip correction based on error_loc[count]

This one is more of driver clean-up and restructuring.

And is independent of another patch-series..

As per my knowledge, omap device families from omap44xx onwards
have ELM hardware. Example: omap44xx, omap54xx. But earlier omap
devices like omap2xxx, omap34xx and omap35xx do not have ELM engine.

So, If you are using omap34xx, omap35xx devices then please select
OMAP_ECC_BCH8_CODE_HW_DETECTION_SW ecc-scheme.
In this ecc-scheme, ECC error correction would require lib/bch.c
which needs to be enabled via CONFIG_BCH.

Incase you are working on a x16 device on omap35xx, then you might
like to look at following patch set also. This allows:
- SPL boot: device-width can be set via CONFIG_SYS_NAND_DEVICE_WIDTH
- U-BOOT: device-width is auto-detected via reading on-chip ONFI params.
