Re: [PATCH] mtd: m25p80: Calculate flash block protect bits based on number of sectors

Hi Austin,

Existing calculation of block protect bits only works for devices with 64
sectors or more. This patch generalises the calculation based on the number of
sectors. This logic is applicable to the STmicro devices:
m25p10, p20, p40, p80, p16, pe16, p32, p64, p128.
Note m25p128 has 128 sectors but only supports protection to 64 sector resolution.

Wait, are you talking about m25p128 or m25p64?
Confusing as it might sound, m25p64 has 128 * 64K sectors, whereas m25p128 has 64 * 256K sectors.
Plus, what do you mean by "64 sectors resolution"?
From what I can read, you can lock *all* 128 sectors -- but since we only have 7 bits, you must lock *at least* 2 sectors (that is, 1/64th of the total size).

Added flag to m25p_ids table to indicate if flash protection is supported.

Added n_sectors to m25p flash structure so it can be used in block protect bit
calculation.

don't we have a min() macro for this?
Anyway, instead of putting it in terms of "protected portion", can't we just make it simpler by putting it in terms of "protected multiples (powers of two, particularly) of the minimum lockable size [in sectors]"?
In other words, why not something like:

min_lockable_sectors = max(1, flash->n_sectors/M25P_MAX_LOCKABLE_SECTORS);

In the end, I believe it all started (with smaller flash parts) as a way of telling: lock "0,1,2,4,8,16,32,64" sectors; only LATER did things start to scale UP as soon as the number of sectors started exceeding 64. Or am I wrong?

Notice how here protected_area might get bigger than flash->mtd.size and you're comparing unsigned ints. But the loop will always terminate before reaching that condition anyway.

since the logic is common to locking and unlocking, wouldn't it make more sense to factor out some of the common code in a separate function or macro?
