There is absolutely no hurry, it is great that you work on this!

Fine

I think rockchip,nand-controller.yaml is preferred.

rockchip,nand-controller-v6

same as above with -v9 as suffix.

Just to be clear, MLC is not yet supported in mainline. There is a
patch series that aims at supporting MLC in pseudo-SLC mode but do not
use MLC as a reliable storage medium.

Please do not mix the two concepts:
- on chip bbt: the last blocks will be used to store the BB, without,
  the BBT must be reconstructed by reading all the blocks.
- SKIP_BBT_SCAN: do not construct the BBT in RAM.

Please trace the calls (dump_stack() might help you) to see what
function actually calls the ->read_page() helpers.

I don't know about the existing Rockchip layout.

Bad block flags (so called bad block markers, abreviated BBM) are the
first two bytes of the OOB. A page is always:

	<X in-band bytes (data)><Y out-of-band bytes (OOB)>

No matter the way this is stored on the NAND chip, the user is
expecting all the data bytes together and all the OOB bytes together.
You must reconstruct this.

That's sad that Rockchip BSP does not follow standard rules, but IMHO
this kind of research logic is way too much error prone and this is not
somehting we want to play with: if you start a mainline kernel with a
wrong logic, then later you fix the logic in mainline, you must support
the broken logic forever.

This means you cannot boot a vendor kernel and a mainline kernel on the
same platform anymore. This is sad but we cannot fight against it.
Unless, as I am pointing it out above, you can simply reconstruct the
page to offer a linear data+OOB layout.

I don't think trying to mimic Rockchip FTL is wise. We will not use the
FTL in a mainline kernel but very likely: UBI/UBIFS.

Do your best, if it hurts readability you may break the 80 chars rule.
Or try to write it down differently.

It is already the case: DT properties in the NAND node (see the
bindings). But this is a static information, you cannot change it at
run time of course.

You should not use dd at all. dd is for block devices or char devices,
not MTD devices. There is an mtd-utils package out there that covers
pretty much all the actions you want to.

I don't understand your question.

This is absolutely forbidden :) You should never hide your first
intention, 14 here is a very bad placeholder because we cannot know
what it means. I suppose your intention was to optimize things. fls()
already exist in the kernel, 8 and 1024 are constants so GCC (or
whatever compiler you use) will optimize things as much as it can.
Plus, it is run only once in a lifetime so there is not so much gain
anyway.

I think there is a macro for that (otherwise it is not important)

In most of the cases you don't need an explicit barrier (unless, for
instance, you are waiting for something to happen with a short timeout).

Please try with writel_relaxed in most of the cases.

You don't need hardware, just a 32-bit and a 64-bit toolchain. We just
want to avoid casts and build warnings.

I don't know astyle, but this would certainly trigger a checkpatch.pl
warning. Just check them and correct them by hand.

As a general rule, please check the drivers which have been updated
recently with git log --one-line -- drivers/mtd/nand/raw/

-> marvell, atmel, fsmc, sunxi, stm, cadence, etc

In this case, you can return the error code of the failing function
with a simple:

	ret = func();
	if (ret)
		return ret;

I expect the rk_nandc_wiat_for_xfer_done() helper to return -ETIMEDOUT
in case of timeout.

Yes, checkpatch.pl will warn you about this too. uint<x>_t types are
deprecated.

Actually I think that I was simplifying your code but you are right that
this dev_err has to be removed.

max_bitflip is a local variable, I'm just saying that using max_bitflip
to save an error code is bad.

You can check what other drivers do.

&pdev->dev is fine, you can save it your own nand controller structure.

I think accessing mtd->dev is not allowed before the registration of
the MTD device though.

I don't think so..

All the tools are already available. nand_test, flash_speed,
nandbiterrs -i, etc

for_each_child_of_node will loop over all the NAND chips that are
connected to the NAND controller.

You may have -depending on the NAND controller- more than one CS per
chip.

You may keep a static variable to point to an array or have a static
counter that you increment, but definitely not static structures that
would be shared. If there are two distinct NAND controllers, you must
have distinct path/structures.

->probe() will be run once for each NAND controller.
