[PATCH v9 0/2] mtd: spi-nor: add support for is25wp256 spi-nor flash

From: Sagar Shrikant Kadam
Date: Wed Sep 18 2019 - 12:02:18 EST


The patch series adds basic support for 32MiB spi-nor is25wp256 present on HiFive
Unleashed A00 board. The flash device gets BFPT_DWORD1_ADDRESS_BYTES_3_ONLY
from BFPT table for address width, whereas the flash can support 4 byte
address width, so the address width is configured by using the post bfpt
fixup hook as done for is25lp256 device in
commit cf580a924005 ("mtd: spi-nor: fix nor->addr_width when its value
configured from SFDP does not match the actual width")

Patches are based on original work done by Wesley Terpstra and/or
Palmer Dabbelt:
https://github.com/riscv/riscv-linux/commit/c94e267766d62bc9a669611c3d0c8ed5ea26569b

Erase/Read/Write operations are verified on HiFive Unleashed board using mtd and
flash utils (v1.5.2):
1. mtd_debug : Options available are : erase/read/write.
2. flashcp : Single utility that erases flash, writes a file to flash and verifies the data back.

The changes are available under branch dev/sagark/spi-nor-v9 at
https://github.com/sagsifive/riscv-linux-hifive

Revision history:
V8<->V9:
-Rebased this series to mainline v5.3-rc8
-Corrected number of sectors in the spi nor id table for is25wp256 device as suggested in the review.
-The lock/unlock scheme in the V8 version of this series needs to have a more generic approach.
These protection scheme patches are not included in this series, will submit those separately.

V7<->V8:
-Rebased this series on mainline v5.3-rc4.
-Removed remaining func_reg reference from issi_lock as updating OTP region was dropped as part of V6.

V6<->V7:
-Incorporated review comments from Vignesh.
-Used post bfpt fixup hook as suggested by Vignesh.
-Introduce SPI_NOR_HAS_BP3 to identify whether the flash has 4th bit protect bit.

V5<->V6:
-Incorporated review comments from Vignesh.
-Set addr width based on device size and if SPI_NOR_4B_OPCODES is set.

-Changed flash_info: flag from u16 to u32 to accommodate SPI_NOR_HAS_BP3
-Prefix newly added function with spi_nor_xxx.
-Dropped write_fr function, as updating OTP bit's present in function register doesn't seem to be a good idea.
