mtd: core: add OTP nvmem provider support

2021-05-10T10:42:55+00:00

Flash OTP regions can already be read via user space. Some boards have their serial number or MAC addresses stored in the OTP regions. Add support for them being a (read-only) nvmem provider. The API to read the OTP data is already in place. It distinguishes between factory and user OTP, thus there are up to two different providers.

mtd: core: Constify buf in mtd_write_user_prot_reg()

2021-04-16T18:30:54+00:00

The write buffer comes from user and should be const. Constify write buffer in mtd core and across all _write_user_prot_reg() users. cfi_cmdset_{0001, 0002} and onenand_base will pay the cost of an explicit cast to discard the const qualifier since the beginning, since they are using an otp_op_t function prototype that is used for both reads and writes. mtd_dataflash and SPI NOR will benefit of the const buffer because they are using different paths for writes and reads.

mtd: add OTP (one-time-programmable) erase ioctl

2021-03-28T17:24:54+00:00

This may sound like a contradiction but some SPI-NOR flashes really support erasing their OTP region until it is finally locked. Having the possibility to erase an OTP region might come in handy during development. The ioctl argument follows the OTPLOCK style.

mtd: char: Get rid of Big MTD Lock

2021-03-11T08:37:49+00:00

Get rid of central chrdev MTD lock, which prevents simultaneous operations on completely independent physical MTD chips. Replace it with newly introduced per-master mutex.

mtd: Add support for emulated SLC mode on MLC NANDs

2020-05-11T07:51:41+00:00

MLC NANDs can be made a bit more reliable if we only program the lower page of each pair. At least, this solves the paired-pages corruption issue. Signed-off-by: Boris Brezillon Signed-off-by: Miquel Raynal Link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mtd/20200503155341.16712-5-miquel.raynal@bootlin.com

mtd: implement proper partition handling

2020-03-11T13:49:30+00:00

Instead of collecting partitions in a flat list, create a hierarchy within the mtd_info structure: use a partitions list to keep track of the partitions of an MTD device (which might be itself a partition of another MTD device), a pointer to the parent device (NULL when the MTD device is the root one, not a partition). By also saving directly in mtd_info the offset of the partition, we can get rid of the mtd_part structure. While at it, be consistent in the naming of the mtd_info structures to ease the understanding of the new hierarchy: these structures are usually called 'mtd', unless there are multiple instances of the same structure. In this case, there is usually a parent/child bound so we will call them 'parent' and 'child'.

mtd: mtdcore: add debugfs nodes for querying the flash name and id

2019-08-29T07:36:47+00:00

Currently, we don't have vfs nodes for querying the underlying flash name and flash id. This information is important especially when we want to know the flash detail of the defective system. In order to support the query, we add mtd_debugfs_populate() to create two debugfs nodes (ie. partname and partid). The upper driver can assign the pointer to partname and partid before calling mtd_device_register(). Signed-off-by: Zhuohao Lee Reviewed-by: Boris Brezillon Signed-off-by: Tudor Ambarus

mtd: Add flag to indicate panic_write

2019-06-27T18:06:40+00:00

Added a flag to indicate a panic_write so that low level drivers can use it to take required action where applicable, to ensure oops data gets written to assigned mtd device. Signed-off-by: Kamal Dasu Signed-off-by: Miquel Raynal

Merge tag 'char-misc-4.21-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/char-misc

2018-12-29T04:54:57+00:00

Pull char/misc driver updates from Greg KH: "Here is the big set of char and misc driver patches for 4.21-rc1. Lots of different types of driver things in here, as this tree seems to be the "collection of various driver subsystems not big enough to have their own git tree" lately. Anyway, some highlights of the changes in here: - binderfs: is it a rule that all driver subsystems will eventually grow to have their own filesystem? Binder now has one to handle the use of it in containerized systems. This was discussed at the Plumbers conference a few months ago and knocked into mergable shape very fast by Christian Brauner. Who also has signed up to be another binder maintainer, showing a distinct lack of good judgement :) - binder updates and fixes - mei driver updates - fpga driver updates and additions - thunderbolt driver updates - soundwire driver updates - extcon driver updates - nvmem driver updates - hyper-v driver updates - coresight driver updates - pvpanic driver additions and reworking for more device support - lp driver updates. Yes really, it's _finally_ moved to the proper parallal port driver model, something I never thought I would see happen. Good stuff. - other tiny driver updates and fixes.
