[PATCH v3 05/15] mtd: rawnand: sunxi: propagate buffer and column transfer errors
From: James Hilliard
Date: Wed Sep 09 2026 - 04:34:48 EST
The PIO buffer helpers stop on a FIFO or completion timeout but return no
status. Their hardware-ECC callers also ignore column-change failures,
including the extra-OOB paths used after DMA. A read can therefore report
success with incomplete data, and a write can issue PAGEPROG after a
failed transfer.
Return transfer errors through the randomizer and OOB helpers to the
page callbacks. Always disable the randomizer after a buffer transfer,
and let the existing page error exits disable ECC and skip program-end.
Only advance the extra-OOB cursor after a successful transfer.
Keep the corrected-bit count separate from transport status so successful
OOB reads do not overwrite it. If any legacy DMA OOB read fails, discard
the ECC statistics from that attempt before the caller retries in PIO.
Leave the successful transfer sequence and OOB representation unchanged.
Fixes: 1fef62c1423b ("mtd: nand: add sunxi NAND flash controller support")
