[PATCH linux-next v4 11/11] mtd: bcm63xxpart: Add NAND partitioning support

From: Simon Arlott
Date: Sun Dec 13 2015 - 17:53:21 EST


Add partitioning support for BCM963xx boards with NAND flash.

The following partitions are defined:
"boot": CFE and nvram data
"rootfs": Currently selected rootfs
"data": Configuration data
"rootfs1_update": Container for the whole flash area used
for the first rootfs to allow it to be
updated
"rootfs2_update": Container for the whole flash area used
for the second rootfs to allow it to be
updated
"rootfs_other": The other (not currently selected) rootfs

Example:
[ 2.157094] nand: device found, Manufacturer ID: 0xc2, Chip ID: 0xf1
[ 2.163796] nand: Macronix NAND 128MiB 3,3V 8-bit
[ 2.168648] nand: 128 MiB, SLC, erase size: 128 KiB, page size: 2048, OOB size: 64
[ 2.176588] bcm6368_nand 10000200.nand: detected 128MiB total, 128KiB blocks, 2KiB pages, 16B OOB, 8-bit, Hamming ECC
[ 2.189782] Bad block table found at page 65472, version 0x01
[ 2.196910] Bad block table found at page 65408, version 0x01
[ 2.204003] nand_read_bbt: bad block at 0x000007480000
[ 2.225220] bcm63xxpart: rootfs1: CFE image tag found at 0x20000 with version 6, board type 963168VX
[ 2.236188] bcm63xxpart: rootfs2: CFE image tag found at 0x4000000 with version 6, board type 963168VX
[ 2.246165] bcm63xxpart: CFE bootline selected latest image rootfs1 (rootfs1_seq=2, rootfs2_seq=1)
[ 2.255800] 6 bcm63xxpart partitions found on MTD device brcmnand.0
[ 2.275360] Creating 6 MTD partitions on "brcmnand.0":
[ 2.280804] 0x000000000000-0x000000020000 : "boot"
[ 2.294609] 0x000000040000-0x000001120000 : "rootfs"
[ 2.310078] 0x000007b00000-0x000007f00000 : "data"
[ 2.324052] 0x000000020000-0x000003ac0000 : "rootfs1_update"
[ 2.339190] 0x000004000000-0x000007ac0000 : "rootfs2_update"
[ 2.354290] 0x000004020000-0x000005060000 : "rootfs_other"

The nvram contains the offset and size of the boot, rootfs1, rootfs2
and data partitions. The presence of CFE and nvram is already verified
by reading from the boot partition which is assumed to be at offset 0
and the NAND process aborts if the nvram read indicates that this is
not the case.

There is bcm_tag information at the start of each rootfs that is used
to determine which rootfs is newer and what its real offset/size is.

The CFE bootline is used to select a rootfs.

v4: Reorganised functions based on earlier new patches in the series,
no real logic changes other than having to check for nvram->version
>= 6 within the nand function instead of the nvram read function.

Renamed "curpart" to "i" because it allows the partition layout
lines to be under 80 characters.

v3: Use COMPILE_TEST.

Ensure that strings read from flash are null terminated and validate
bcm_tag integer values (this also moves reporting of rootfs sequence
numbers to later on).

v2: Use external struct bcm963xx_nvram definition for bcm963268part.

Removed support for the nand partition number field, it's not a
standard Broadcom field (was added by MitraStar Technology Corp.).
