Here is the big driver core update for 4.13-rc1.
The large majority of this is a lot of cleanup of old fields in the
driver core structures and their remaining usages in random drivers.
All of those fixes have been reviewed by the various subsystem
maintainers. There's also some small firmware updates in here, a new
kobject uevent api interface that makes userspace interaction easier,
and a few other minor things.
All of these have been in linux-next for a long while with no reported
issues.

The 35h instruction op code has two aliases/macro definitions:
- SPINOR_OP_RDCR from include/linux/mtd/spi-nor.h
- SPINOR_OP_RDSR2 from drivers/mtd/devices/serial_flash_cmds.h
Actually, some manufacturers name the associated internal register Status
Register 2 whereas other manufacturers name it Configuration Register
hence the two different macros for the very same instruction op code.
Since the spi-nor.h file is the reference file for all SPI NOR instruction
op codes, this patch removes the definition of the SPINOR_OP_RDSR2 macro.
Also the SPINOR_OP_RDSR2 macro will be associated to another instruction

Some devices have partitions that are kind of containers with extra
subpartitions / volumes instead of e.g. a simple filesystem data. To
support such cases we need to first create normal flash device
partitions and then take care of these special ones.
It's very common case for home routers. Depending on the vendor there
are formats like TRX, Seama, TP-Link, WRGG & more. All of them are used
to embed few partitions into a single one / single firmware file.
Ideally all vendors would use some well documented / standardized format
like UBI (and some probably start doing so), but there are still
countless devices on the market using these poor vendor specific
formats.
This patch extends MTD subsystem by allowing to specify list of parsers
that should be tried for a given partition. Supporting such poor formats
is highly unlikely to be the top priority so these changes try to
minimize maintenance cost to the minimum. It reuses existing code for
these new parsers and just adds a one property and one new function.
This implementation requires setting partition parsers in a flash
parser. A proper change of bcm47xxpart will follow and in the future we
will hopefully also find a solution for doing it with ofpart
("fixed-partitions").

This prepares mtd subsystem for the new feature: subpartitions. In some
cases flash device partition can be a container with extra subpartitions
(volumes).
So far there was a flat structure implemented. One master (flash device)
could be partitioned into few partitions. Every partition got its master
and it was enough to get things running.
To support subpartitions we need to store pointer to the parent for each
partition. This is required to implement more natural tree structure and
handle all recursion and offsets calculation.
To make code consistent this patch renamed "master" to the "parent" in
places where we can be dealing with subpartitions.

Introduce some macros and helpers to avoid magic numbers and
rename macros/functions for clarification.
- We see '| 2' in several places. This means Data Cycle in MAP11 mode.
The Denali User's Guide says bit[1:0] of MAP11 is like follows:
b'00 = Command Cycle
b'01 = Address Cycle
b'10 = Data Cycle
So, this commit added DENALI_MAP11_{CMD,ADDR,DATA} macros.
- We see 'denali->flash_mem + 0x10' in several places, but 0x10 is a
magic number. Actually, this accesses the data port of the Host
Data/Command Interface. So, this commit added DENALI_HOST_DATA.
On the other hand, 'denali->flash_mem' gets access to the address
port, so DENALI_HOST_ADDR was also added.
- We see 'index_addr(denali, cmd, 0x1)' in denali_erase(), but 0x1
is a magic number. 0x1 means the erase operation. Replace 0x1
with DENALI_ERASE.
- Rename index_addr() to denali_host_write() for clarification
- Denali User's Guide says MAP{00,01,10,11} for access mode. Match
the macros with terminology in the IP document.
- Rename struct members as follows:
flash_bank -> active_bank (currently selected bank)
flash_reg -> reg (base address of registers)
flash_mem -> host (base address of host interface)
devnum -> devs_per_cs (devices connected in parallel)
bbtskipbytes -> oob_skip_bytes (number of bytes to skip in OOB)

Recent versions of this IP support automatic erased page detection.
If an erased page is detected on reads, the controller does not set
INTR__ECC_UNCOR_ERR, but INTR__ERASED_PAGE.
The detection of erased pages is based on the number of zeros in a
page; if the number of zeros is less than the value in the field
ERASED_THRESHOLD, the page is assumed as erased.
Please note ERASED_THRESHOLD specifies the number of zeros in a _page_
instead of an ECC chunk. Moreover, the controller does not provide a
way to know the actual number of bitflips.
Actually, an erased page (all 0xff) is not an ECC correctable pattern
on the Denali ECC engine. In other words, there may be overlap between
the following two:
[1] a bit pattern reachable from a valid payload + ECC pattern within
ecc.strength bitflips
[2] a bit pattern reachable from an erased state (all 0xff) within
ecc.strength bitflips
So, this feature may intercept ECC correctable patterns, then replace
[1] with [2].
After all, this feature can work safely only when ECC_THRESHOLD == 1,
i.e. detect erased pages without any bitflips. This should be the
case most of the time. If there is a bitflip or more, the driver will
fallback to the software method by using nand_check_erased_ecc_chunk().
Strangely enough, the driver still has to fill the buffer with 0xff
in case of INTR__ERASED_PAGE because the ECC correction engine has
already manipulated the data in the buffer before it judges erased
pages.

The Denali IP adopts the syndrome page layout; payload and ECC are
interleaved, with BBM area always placed at the beginning of OOB.
The figure below shows the page organization for ecc->steps == 2:
|----------------| |-----------|
| | | |
| | | |
| Payload0 | | |
| | | |
| | | |
| | | |
|----------------| | in-band |
| ECC0 | | area |
|----------------| | |
| | | |
| | | |
| Payload1 | | |
| | | |
| | | |
|----------------| |-----------|
| BBM | | |
|----------------| | |
|Payload1 (cont.)| | |
|----------------| |out-of-band|
| ECC1 | | area |
|----------------| | |
| OOB free | | |
|----------------| |-----------|
The current raw / oob accessors do not take that into consideration,
so in-band and out-of-band data are transferred as stored in the
device. In the case above,
in-band: Payload0 + ECC0 + Payload1(partial)
out-of-band: BBM + Payload1(cont.) + ECC1 + OOB-free
This is wrong. As the comment block of struct nand_ecc_ctrl says,
driver callbacks must hide the specific layout used by the hardware
and always return contiguous in-band and out-of-band data.
The current implementation is completely screwed-up, so read/write
callbacks must be re-worked.
Also, it is reasonable to support PIO transfer in case DMA may not
work for some reasons. Actually, the Data DMA may not be equipped
depending on the configuration of the RTL. This can be checked by
reading the bit 4 of the FEATURES register. Even if the controller
has the DMA support, dma_set_mask() and dma_map_single() could fail.
In either case, the driver can fall back to the PIO transfer. Slower
access would be better than giving up.

This driver stores the currently addressed page into denali->page,
which is later read out by helper functions. While I am tackling on
this driver, I often missed to insert "denali->page = page;" where
needed. This makes page_read/write callbacks to get access to a
wrong page, which is a bug hard to figure out.
Instead, I'd rather pass the page via function argument because the
compiler's prototype checks will help to detect bugs.
For the same reason, propagate dma_addr to the DMA helpers instead
of denali->buf.dma_buf .

The current bank reset implementation polls the INTR_STATUS register
until interested bits are set. This is not good because:
- polling simply wastes time-slice of the thread
- The while() loop may continue eternally if no bit is set, for
example, due to the controller problem. The denali_wait_for_irq()
uses wait_for_completion_timeout(), which is safer.
We can use interrupt by moving the denali_reset_bank() call below

The nand_scan_ident() iterates over maxchips, and calls nand_reset()
for each. This driver currently passes the maximum number of banks
(=chip selects) supported by the controller as maxchips. So, maxchips
is typically 4 or 8. Usually, less number of NAND chips are connected
to the controller.
This can be a problem for ONFi devices. Now, this driver implements
->setup_data_interface() hook, so nand_setup_data_interface() issues
Set Features (0xEF) command, which waits until the chip returns R/B#
response. If no chip there, we know it never happens, but the driver
still ends up with waiting for a long time. It will finally bail-out
with timeout error and the driver will work with existing chips, but
unnecessary wait will give a bad user experience.
The denali_nand_reset() polls the INTR__RST_COMP and INTR__TIME_OUT
bits, but they are always set even if not NAND chip is connected to
that bank. To know the chip existence, INTR__INT_ACT bit must be
checked; this flag is set only when R/B# is toggled. Since the Reset
(0xFF) command toggles the R/B# pin, this can be used to know the
actual number of chips, and update denali->max_banks.

The NAND_CMD_SET_FEATURES support is missing from denali_cmdfunc().
We also see /* TODO: Read OOB data */ comment.
It would be possible to add more commands along with the current
implementation, but having ->cmd_ctrl() seems a better approach from
the discussion with Boris [1].
Rely on the default ->cmdfunc() from the framework and implement the
driver's own ->cmd_ctrl().
This transition also fixes NAND_CMD_STATUS and NAND_CMD_PARAM handling.
NAND_CMD_STATUS was just faked by the register read, so the only valid
bit was the WP bit. NAND_CMD_PARAM was completely broken; not only the
command sent on the bus was NAND_CMD_STATUS instead of NAND_CMD_PARAM,
but also the driver was only reading 8 bytes, while the parameter page
contains several hundreds of bytes.
Also add ->write_byte(), which is needed for write direction commands,
->read/write_buf(16), which will be used some commits later.
->read_word() is not used for now, but the core may call it in the
future.
Now, this driver can drop nand_onfi_get_set_features_notsupp().

Simplify the interrupt handling and fix issues:
- The register field view of INTR_EN / INTR_STATUS is different
among IP versions. The global macro DENALI_IRQ_ALL is hard-coded
for Intel platforms. The interrupt mask should be determined at
run-time depending on the running platform.
- wait_for_irq() loops do {} while() until interested flags are
asserted. The logic can be simplified.
- The spin_lock() guard seems too complex (and suspicious in a race
condition if wait_for_completion_timeout() bails out by timeout).
- denali->complete is reused again and again, but reinit_completion()
is missing. Add it.

Handling timing parameters in a driver's own way should be avoided
because it duplicates efforts of drivers/mtd/nand/nand_timings.c
Besides, this driver hard-codes Intel specific parameters such as
CLK_X=5, CLK_MULTI=4. Taking a certain device (Samsung K9WAG08U1A)
into account by get_samsung_nand_para() is weird as well.
Now, the core framework provides .setup_data_interface() hook, which
handles timing parameters in a generic manner.
While I am working on this, I found even more issues in the current
code, so fixed the following as well:
- In recent IP versions, WE_2_RE and TWHR2 share the same register.
Likewise for ADDR_2_DATA and TCWAW, CS_SETUP_CNT and TWB. When
updating one, the other must be masked. Otherwise, the other will
be set to 0, then timing settings will be broken.
- The recent IP release expanded the ADDR_2_DATA to 7-bit wide.
This register is related to tADL. As commit 74a332e78e ("mtd:
nand: timings: Fix tADL_min for ONFI 4.0 chips") addressed, the
ONFi 4.0 increased the minimum of tADL to 400 nsec. This may not
fit in the 6-bit ADDR_2_DATA in older versions. Check the IP
revision and handle this correctly, otherwise the register value
would wrap around.
