[U-Boot] [PATCH V6] sf: Turn SPI flash chip into 3-Byte address mode

[U-Boot] [PATCH V6] sf: Turn SPI flash chip into 3-Byte address mode

[Zhiqiang Hou]

From: Hou Zhiqiang <B48286@freescale.com>

For more than 16MiB SPI flash chips, there are 3-Byte and 4-Byte address
mode, and only the 3-Byte address mode is supported in U-Boot so far.
So, reset the SPI flash to 3-Byte address mode in probe to ensure the SPI
flash work correctly, because it may has been set to 4-Byte address mode
after warm boot.

Tested on T1042RDB board.
V6:
    Add the spi_release_bus.
V5:
    1. Removed #ifdef for STMICRO.
    2. Add support for Spansion chips (>16MiB) switch to 3-Byte address mode.
V4:
    Split the the patch to 2 patches for clear FSR and SPI flash address mode.
V3:
    Generate the patch based on the latest tree git://git.denx.de/u-boot.git.
V2:
    Add the operation of enter 3 Byte address mode in probe.
V1:
    Based on git://git.denx.de/u-boot.git.

[U-Boot] [PATCH V6] sf: Turn SPI flash chip into 3-Byte address mode

[Siva Durga Prasad Paladugu]

Hi Zhejiang/Jagan,

I think it would be good to extend this further to support 4-byte addressing in u-boot also.
This would be based on the driver, We can get the data that whether the controller supports 4-byte or not from the driver level(through slave struct)
and enable 4 byte addressing here based on that.

Let me know your thoughts on this.

Regards,
Siva

That is a long way, and I don't think it is necessary for U-Boot. The U-Boot
work well using BAR to address more than 16MiB flash.
This patch focus on the address mode issue when warm boot up base on the BAR
address mode.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but AFAIU this BAR thing 
(CONFIG_SPI_FLASH_BAR) doesn't support to address e.g. a 64MiB SPI flash 
contiguously. Only 16MiB areas. So for example its not possible to put 
UBI/UBIFS in such a big partition.

I have to support Siva here. We really should try to support this 4-byte 
mode correctly. This can't be too hard.

Thanks,
Stefan

Yeah, I think it wouldn't be too difficult to add support for 4-byte address.
we may just need to bypass the SPI_FLASH_BAR in read_ops , write_ops and erase_ops routines.

This support need not be part of this series. It can be a separate series. As we already added routine to disable /enable 4 byte as a part of this,
I just shared that it would be good to have 4 byte support also.

Siva

Stefan,

No, BAR is accessing flash > 16MiB in 3-byte addressing mode, for your
example of
64MiB flash, it can grouped into 4 16MiB regions means 4 bank vales
bank0 to bank3

Based on the sf read/erase/write flash offsets, that particular bank
will enable an do
the relevant operations.

In-spite of having 4 byte addressing operations BAR should do exactly
same with existing
3-byte addressing.

Siva,

Agree that adding 4-byte addressing is not too difficult, but by
passing BAR is not a good
idea, what if you have a flash with > 16 MiB and controller have
3-byte addressing command
support.

Okay, thanks for the explanation. If this really is the case, and this 
BAR support will seamlessly enable the access to the complete flash 
area, then the 4-byte mode should really not be necessary.

I'm wondering though about 2 things:

a) Do all SPI NOR flash chips support this BAR mode?

b) If yes, why isn't BAR enabled per default?

c) Why doesn't the Linux kernel use this BAR mode?

Thanks,
Stefan

Based on my experience, Micron, Winbond, Spansion and Macronix support these.
Spansion call these as bank address register and rest are call it as
Extended address register.

> b) If yes, why isn't BAR enabled per default?

Bcz, of code size and the moment where I have added this support where
very few flashes which
are greater than 16MiB.

>

The only overhead with BAR as per the coding is concerns was, We need write
the bar/extended address register based on the user input offset. that
means flash ops
like erase/read/write loop we need to check whether user is asking
which bar then write
that particular bar so-that flash region got changed for operations.

In-case of 4-byte addressing, probe will identify the addr_width and
update the flash operation
commands and flash ops will operate accordingly.

This may be the reason for Linux is not adding BAR and relied on
4-byte instead.
Probably I will add it on Linux in future, but if we have any choose
of using one-at-a-time.

thanks!

Yes, if you look at my first mail on this, I mentioned, we should get that info somehow from the driver of
the respective controller, whether it supports four byte or not. For example from the spi_slave struct.
Here by-passing means that if controller supports four byte then only we should bypass that BAR otherwise proceed
with BAR.

[U-Boot] [PATCH V6] sf: Turn SPI flash chip into 3-Byte address mode

[Hou Zhiqiang]

Hello all,

As Siva said the 4-Byte support should be splited to another thread.

And this patch focus on the BAR addressing mode base on the current u-boot, 
the aim is make the spi flash work upon warm boot, specifically when boot 
from SPI flash, without correcting the address mode, it will crash when 
kernel set the spi flash to 4-Byte address mode.

Yes, if we would like to add 4-byte then it can be a separate series and
we can go ahead with this patch for now.
I just got one review comment on the patch, sorry for my late finding.
I will reply to the mail with the patch to be more clear on the
comment where it is exactly meant for.

So from your points, you need both BAR and 4-byte addressing need to have on sf,
is that true? If yes some how controller will inform to sf which one can use?

Yes, we need both because some controllers won't support 4-byte addressing. 
This information we can get it from controller driver code or from device tree.
This would be same as slave->dual which we are getting now from driver code.

Does a controller exist like that, means not supporting 4-byte
addressing but may
connect flash +16MiB?

Sorry, I don't know the DAUL memories, but I find the condition initializing
the BAR read/write commands to be checked without the shift.

Jagannadha, Can you help to confirm if the shift is needed here?

[U-Boot] [PATCH V6] sf: Turn SPI flash chip into 3-Byte address mode

[Hou Zhiqiang]

Hello Jagannadha and Siva,

Do you have any idea for if there should be a shift upon the flash size?
If yes, why there isn't one when initializing the BAR read/write commands?

[U-Boot] [PATCH V6] sf: Turn SPI flash chip into 3-Byte address mode

[Zhiqiang Hou]

Hi Jagan,

Up to now, I didn't find the 4-Byte addressing mode support.
Do you know if anybody have schedule to add it?
if no, could you please apply this patch, due to as I have said  when do the warm 
boot up, the SPI flash will be kept in 4-Byte addressing mode that kernel driver set, 
while the u-boot doesn't support 4-Byte mode and assume it is in 3-Byte mode.
This mismatch make the u-boot spi driver working incorrectly. What the worse is 
it will crash when booting from SPI flash. So please take it into account.

Thanks,
Zhiqiang
