2019-07-15docs: mtd: move it to the driver-api bookMauro Carvalho Chehab4-931/+0
While I was tempted to move it to admin-guide, as some docs there are more userspace-faced, there are some very technical discussions about memory error correction code from the Kernel implementer's PoV. So, let's place it inside the driver-api book. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab+samsung@kernel.org>
2019-07-15docs: mtd: convert to ReSTMauro Carvalho Chehab4-249/+313
Rename the mtd documentation files to ReST, add an index for them and adjust in order to produce a nice html output via the Sphinx build system. It should be noticed that Sphinx doesn't handle very well URLs with dots in the middle. Thankfully, internally, the '.' char is translated to %2E, so we can jus use %2E instead of dots, and this will work fine on both text and processed files. At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab+samsung@kernel.org>
2018-09-05Documentation: mtd: remove stale pxa3xx NAND controller documentationMiquel Raynal1-113/+0
It is preferred to have the documentation about the drivers directly embedded in the driver itself. Remove this file now that the most important information from this file have been re-written in marvell_nand.c.

2017-12-13mtd: spi-nor: add an API to restore the status of SPI flash chipHou Zhiqiang1-0/+3
Add this API to restore the status of SPI flash chip to the default such as addressing mode, whenever detach the driver from device or reboot the system. Signed-off-by: Hou Zhiqiang <Zhiqiang.Hou@nxp.com> Signed-off-by: Cyrille Pitchen <cyrille.pitchen@wedev4u.fr>
2017-01-03spi-nor: Add support for Intel SPI serial flash controllerMika Westerberg1-0/+88
Add support for the SPI serial flash host controller found on many Intel CPUs including Baytrail and Braswell. The SPI serial flash controller is used to access BIOS and other platform specific information. By default the driver exposes a single read-only MTD device but with a module parameter "writeable=1" the MTD device can be made read-write which makes it possible to upgrade BIOS directly from Linux.

Pull MTD updates from Brian Norris: - refactor m25p80.c driver for use as a general SPI NOR framework for other drivers which may speak to SPI NOR flash without providing full SPI support (i.e., not part of drivers/spi/) - new Freescale QuadSPI driver (utilizing new SPI NOR framework) - updates for the STMicro "FSM" SPI NOR driver - fix sync/flush behavior on mtd_blkdevs - fixup subpage write support on a few NAND drivers - correct the MTD OOB test for odd-sized OOB areas - add BCH-16 support for OMAP NAND - fix warnings and trivial refactoring - utilize new ECC DT bindings in pxa3xx NAND driver - new LPDDR NVM driver - address a few assorted bugs caught by Coverity - add new imx6sx support for GPMI NAND - use a bounce buffer for NAND when non-DMA-able buffers are used * tag 'for-linus-20140610' of git://git.infradead.org/linux-mtd: (77 commits) mtd: gpmi: add gpmi support for imx6sx mtd: maps: remove check for CONFIG_MTD_SUPERH_RESERVE mtd: bf5xx_nand: use the managed version of kzalloc mtd: pxa3xx_nand: make the driver work on big-endian systems mtd: nand: omap: fix omap_calculate_ecc_bch() for-loop error mtd: nand: r852: correct write_buf loop bounds mtd: nand_bbt: handle error case for nand_create_badblock_pattern() mtd: nand_bbt: remove unused variable mtd: maps: sc520cdp: fix warnings mtd: slram: fix unused variable warning mtd: pfow: remove unused variable mtd: lpddr: fix Kconfig dependency, for I/O accessors mtd: nand: pxa3xx: Add supported ECC strength and step size to the DT binding mtd: nand: pxa3xx: Use ECC strength and step size devicetree binding mtd: nand: pxa3xx: Clean pxa_ecc_init() error handling mtd: nand: Warn the user if the selected ECC strength is too weak mtd: nand: omap: Documentation: How to select correct ECC scheme for your device ? mtd: nand: omap: add support for BCH16_ECC - NAND driver updates mtd: nand: omap: add support for BCH16_ECC - ELM driver updates mtd: nand: omap: add support for BCH16_ECC - GPMC driver updates ...

2010-08-04Documentation: update broken web addresses.Justin P. Mattock1-1/+1
Below you will find an updated version from the original series bunching all patches into one big patch updating broken web addresses that are located in Documentation/* Some of the addresses date as far far back as 1995 etc... so searching became a bit difficult, the best way to deal with these is to use web.archive.org to locate these addresses that are outdated. Now there are also some addresses pointing to .spec files some are located, but some(after searching on the companies site)where still no where to be found. In this case I just changed the address to the company site this way the users can contact the company and they can locate them for the users. Signed-off-by: Justin P.
