Sorry for being late to speaking up on this. I missed something in the
code the first time I read the thread, that now stood out to me. Notes
below...

Reverse-order review, second hunk first:

So, I think the ONENAND_DEVICE_DENSITY_2Gb should be a "break". Though,
actually, it doesn't matter:

case ONENAND_DEVICE_DENSITY_2Gb:
/* 2Gb DDP does not have 2 plane */
if (!ONENAND_IS_DDP(this))
this->options |= ONENAND_HAS_2PLANE;
this->options |= ONENAND_HAS_UNLOCK_ALL;

case ONENAND_DEVICE_DENSITY_1Gb:
/* A-Die has all block unlock */
if (process)
this->options |= ONENAND_HAS_UNLOCK_ALL;
break;

Falling through from ONENAND_DEVICE_DENSITY_2Gb to
ONENAND_DEVICE_DENSITY_1Gb will actually have no side-effects:
ONENAND_HAS_UNLOCK_ALL was unconditionally set in ..._2Gb, so there is
no reason to fall through to ..._1Gb. (But falling through is harmless.)

Now the first hunk:

case ONENAND_DEVICE_DENSITY_4Gb:
if (ONENAND_IS_DDP(this))
this->options |= ONENAND_HAS_2PLANE;
else if (numbufs == 1) {
this->options |= ONENAND_HAS_4KB_PAGE;
this->options |= ONENAND_HAS_CACHE_PROGRAM;
/*

*/
if ((this->version_id & 0xf) == 0xe)
this->options |= ONENAND_HAS_NOP_1;
}

Falling through from ONENAND_DEVICE_DENSITY_4Gb to
ONENAND_DEVICE_DENSITY_2Gb looks like it would mean that
ONENAND_HAS_2PLANE would be unconditionally set for ...4Gb, which seems
very strange to expect:

if (ONENAND_IS_DDP(this))
this->options |= ONENAND_HAS_2PLANE;
...
if (!ONENAND_IS_DDP(this))
this->options |= ONENAND_HAS_2PLANE;

However! This happens later:

if (ONENAND_IS_4KB_PAGE(this))
this->options &= ~ONENAND_HAS_2PLANE;

i.e. falling through to ...2Gb (which sets ONENAND_HAS_2PLANE) has no
effect because when ONENAND_HAS_2PLANE isn't set (numbufs == 1), it gets
_cleared_ by the above code due to ONENAND_HAS_4KB_PAGE getting set:

#define ONENAND_IS_4KB_PAGE(this) \
(this->options & ONENAND_HAS_4KB_PAGE)


Unfortunately, though, it's less clear about ONENAND_HAS_UNLOCK_ALL,
which is getting set unconditionally for ...4Gb currently (due to the
fallthrough to ...2Gb). However, this happens later:

if (FLEXONENAND(this)) {
this->options &= ~ONENAND_HAS_CONT_LOCK;
this->options |= ONENAND_HAS_UNLOCK_ALL;
}
...
#define FLEXONENAND(this) \
(this->device_id & DEVICE_IS_FLEXONENAND)

So it's possible this fall through has no effect (are all 4Gb density
devices also FLEXONENAND devices?)

Setting a "break" after 4Gb may remove ONENAND_HAS_UNLOCK_ALL in the
!FLEXONENAND(this) case. Does anyone have real hardware to test with?

Thoughts?
