* mtd: st_spi_fsm: only build for ARMBrian Norris2014-04-171-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | COMPILE_TEST allows us to build this driver on other arch'es. But not all arch'es have the right I/O accessors -- particularly, x86 is missing readsl() and writesl(). So just restrict this driver to ARCH_STI. It's still buildable for a multiplatform ARM kernel, so it can get decent compile coverage.

(2) implement the necessary hooks, such as m25p80_read/m25p80_write. Tested with the m25p32.

| | | | | | | | | | This is a new driver. It's used to communicate with a special type of optimised Serial Flash Controller called the FSM.

* mtd: m25p80: remove M25PXX_USE_FAST_READ KconfigBrian Norris2013-11-071-7/+0Star
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Remove the compile-time option for FAST_READ, since we have run-time support for detecting it. This refactors the logic for enabling fast-read, such that for DT-enabled devices, we honor the "m25p,fast-read" property but for non-DT devices, we default to using FAST_READ whenever the flash device supports it. Normal READ and FAST_READ differ only in the following: * FAST_READ supports SPI higher clock frequencies [1] * number of dummy cycles; FAST_READ requires 8 dummy cycles (whereas READ requires 0) to allow the flash sufficient setup time, even when running at higher clock speeds Thus, for flash chips which support FAST_READ, there is otherwise no limiting reason why we cannot use the FAST_READ opcode instead of READ. It simply allows the SPI controller to run at higher clock rates. So theoretically, nobody should be needing the compile-time option anyway. [1] I have a Spansion S25FL128S datasheet which says: "The maximum operating clock frequency for the READ command is 50 MHz." And: "The maximum operating clock frequency for FAST READ command is 133 MHz." Signed-off-by: Brian Norris <computersforpeace@gmail.com>

* mtd: merge mtdchar module with mtdcoreArtem Bityutskiy2013-04-051-1/+0Star
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The MTD subsystem has historically tried to be as configurable as possible. The side-effect of this is that its configuration menu is rather large, and we are gradually shrinking it. For example, we recently merged partitions support with the mtdcore. This patch does the next step - it merges the mtdchar module to mtdcore. And in this case this is not only about eliminating too fine-grained separation and simplifying the configuration menu. This is also about eliminating seemingly useless kernel module. Indeed, mtdchar is a module that allows user-space making use of MTD devices via /dev/mtd* character devices. If users do not enable it, they simply cannot use MTD devices at all. They cannot read or write the flash contents. Is it a sane and useful setup? I believe not. And everyone just enables mtdchar. Having mtdchar separate is also a little bit harmful. People sometimes miss the fact that they need to enable an additional configuration option to have user-space MTD interfaces, and then they wonder why on earth the kernel does not allow using the flash? They spend time asking around. Thus, let's just get rid of this module and make it part of mtd core. Note, mtdchar had additional configuration option to enable OTP interfaces, which are present on some flashes. I removed that option as well - it saves a really tiny amount space. [dwmw2: Strictly speaking, you can mount file systems on MTD devices just fine without the mtdchar (or mtdblock) devices; you just can't do other manipulations directly on the underlying device. But still I agree that it makes sense to make this unconditional. And Yay! we get to kill off an instance of checking CONFIG_foo_MODULE, which is an abomination that should never happen.] Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <artem.bityutskiy@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com>

All of these can use the same core operations and are newer chips that support the JEDEC "read id" instruction: - Atmel AT25 and AT26 (seven chips) - Spansion S25SL (five chips) - SST 25VF (four chips) - ST M25, M45 (five more chips) - Winbond W25X series (seven chips) That JEDEC instruction is now used, either to support a sanity check on the platform data holding board configuration data, or to determine chip type when it's not included in platform data. In fact, boards that don't need a standard partition table may not need that platform data any more. For chips that support 4KiB erase units, use that smaller block size instead of the larger size (usually 64KiB); it's less wasteful. (Tested on W25X80.)

* [PATCH] BLOCK: Make it possible to disable the block layer [try #6]David Howells2006-09-301-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Make it possible to disable the block layer. Not all embedded devices require it, some can make do with just JFFS2, NFS, ramfs, etc - none of which require the block layer to be present. This patch does the following: (*) Introduces CONFIG_BLOCK to disable the block layer, buffering and blockdev support. (*) Adds dependencies on CONFIG_BLOCK to any configuration item that controls an item that uses the block layer. This includes: (*) Block I/O tracing. (*) Disk partition code. (*) All filesystems that are block based, eg: Ext3, ReiserFS, ISOFS. (*) The SCSI layer. As far as I can tell, even SCSI chardevs use the block layer to do scheduling. Some drivers that use SCSI facilities - such as USB storage - end up disabled indirectly from this. (*) Various block-based device drivers, such as IDE and the old CDROM drivers. (*) MTD blockdev handling and FTL. (*) JFFS - which uses set_bdev_super(), something it could avoid doing by taking a leaf out of JFFS2's book. (*) Makes most of the contents of linux/blkdev.h, linux/buffer_head.h and linux/elevator.h contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK being set. sector_div() is, however, still used in places, and so is still available. (*) Also made contingent are the contents of linux/mpage.h, linux/genhd.h and parts of linux/fs.h. (*) Makes a number of files in fs/ contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK. (*) Makes mm/bounce.c (bounce buffering) contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK. (*) set_page_dirty() doesn't call __set_page_dirty_buffers() if CONFIG_BLOCK is not enabled. (*) fs/no-block.c is created to hold out-of-line stubs and things that are required when CONFIG_BLOCK is not set: (*) Default blockdev file operations (to give error ENODEV on opening). (*) Makes some /proc changes: (*) /proc/devices does not list any blockdevs. (*) /proc/diskstats and /proc/partitions are contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK. (*) Makes some compat ioctl handling contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK. (*) If CONFIG_BLOCK is not defined, makes sys_quotactl() return -ENODEV if given command other than Q_SYNC or if a special device is specified. (*) In init/do_mounts.c, no reference is made to the blockdev routines if CONFIG_BLOCK is not defined. This does not prohibit NFS roots or JFFS2. (*) The bdflush, ioprio_set and ioprio_get syscalls can now be absent (return error ENOSYS by way of cond_syscall if so). (*) The seclvl_bd_claim() and seclvl_bd_release() security calls do nothing if CONFIG_BLOCK is not set, since they can't then happen.

| | | | | | | | | | | | In an unrelated MTD commit, a description about the ms02-nv module got removed from Kconfig. While I personally agree with this removal, the module maintainer (Maciej W. Rozycki) would like to see it added back. In the absense of any consistency regarding Kconfig descriptions his wish should be followed.

* [PATCH] Remove blkmtdJoern Engel2006-04-111-11/+2Star
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Remove the blkmtd driver. - An alternative exists (block2mtd) that hasn't had bug report for > 1 year. - Most embedded people tend to use ancient kernels with custom patches from mtd cvs and elsewhere, so the 1 year warning period neither helps nor hurts them too much. - It's in the way of klibc. The problems caused by pulling blkmtd support are fairly low, while the problems caused by delaying klibc can be fairly substantial. At best, this would be a severe burden on hpa's time.

* [PATCH] spi: M25 series SPI flashMike Lavender2006-01-141-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This was originally a driver for the ST M25P80 SPI flash. It's been updated slightly to handle other M25P series chips. For many of these chips, the specific type could be probed, but for now this just requires static setup with flash_platform_data that lists the chip type (size, format) and any default partitioning to use.

* [PATCH] spi: mtd dataflash driverDavid Brownell2006-01-141-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is a conversion of the AT91rm9200 DataFlash MTD driver to use the lightweight SPI framework, and no longer be AT91-specific. It compiles down to less than 3KBytes on ARM. The driver allows board-specific init code to provide platform_data with the relevant MTD partitioning information, and hotplugs. This version has been lightly tested. Its parent at91_dataflash driver has been pretty well banged on, although kernel.org JFFS2 dataflash support was acting broken the last time I tried it.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
