+Device tree bindings for GPMC connected NANDs
+
+GPMC connected NAND (found on OMAP boards) are represented as child nodes of
+the GPMC controller with a name of "nand".
+
+All timing relevant properties as well as generic gpmc child properties are
+explained in a separate documents - please refer to
+Documentation/devicetree/bindings/memory-controllers/omap-gpmc.txt
+
+For NAND specific properties such as ECC modes or bus width, please refer to
+Documentation/devicetree/bindings/mtd/nand-controller.yaml
+
+
+Required properties:
+
+ - compatible: "ti,omap2-nand"
+ - reg: range id (CS number), base offset and length of the
+ NAND I/O space
+ - interrupts: Two interrupt specifiers, one for fifoevent, one for termcount.
+
+Optional properties:
+
+ - nand-bus-width: Set this numeric value to 16 if the hardware
+ is wired that way. If not specified, a bus
+ width of 8 is assumed.
+
+ - ti,nand-ecc-opt: A string setting the ECC layout to use. One of:
+ "sw" 1-bit Hamming ecc code via software
+ "hw" <deprecated> use "ham1" instead
+ "hw-romcode" <deprecated> use "ham1" instead
+ "ham1" 1-bit Hamming ecc code
+ "bch4" 4-bit BCH ecc code
+ "bch8" 8-bit BCH ecc code
+ "bch16" 16-bit BCH ECC code
+ Refer below "How to select correct ECC scheme for your device ?"
+
+ - ti,nand-xfer-type: A string setting the data transfer type. One of:
+
+ "prefetch-polled" Prefetch polled mode (default)
+ "polled" Polled mode, without prefetch
+ "prefetch-dma" Prefetch enabled DMA mode
+ "prefetch-irq" Prefetch enabled irq mode
+
+ - elm_id: <deprecated> use "ti,elm-id" instead
+ - ti,elm-id: Specifies phandle of the ELM devicetree node.
+ ELM is an on-chip hardware engine on TI SoC which is used for
+ locating ECC errors for BCHx algorithms. SoC devices which have
+ ELM hardware engines should specify this device node in .dtsi
+ Using ELM for ECC error correction frees some CPU cycles.
+ - rb-gpios: GPIO specifier for the ready/busy# pin.
+
+For inline partition table parsing (optional):
+
+ - #address-cells: should be set to 1
+ - #size-cells: should be set to 1
+
+Example for an AM33xx board:
+
+ gpmc: gpmc@50000000 {
+ compatible = "ti,am3352-gpmc";
+ ti,hwmods = "gpmc";
+ reg = <0x50000000 0x36c>;

+ gpmc,num-cs = <8>;
+ gpmc,num-waitpins = <2>;
+ #address-cells = <2>;
+ #size-cells = <1>;
+ ranges = <0 0 0x08000000 0x1000000>; /* CS0 space, 16MB */
+ elm_id = <&elm>;
+ interrupt-controller;
+ #interrupt-cells = <2>;
+
+ nand@0,0 {
+ compatible = "ti,omap2-nand";
+ reg = <0 0 4>; /* CS0, offset 0, NAND I/O window 4 */
+ interrupt-parent = <&gpmc>;
+ interrupts = <0 IRQ_TYPE_NONE>, <1 IRQ_TYPE NONE>;
+ nand-bus-width = <16>;
+ ti,nand-ecc-opt = "bch8";
+ ti,nand-xfer-type = "polled";
+ rb-gpios = <&gpmc 0 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>; /* gpmc_wait0 */

+
+How to select correct ECC scheme for your device ?
+--------------------------------------------------
+Higher ECC scheme usually means better protection against bit-flips and
+increased system lifetime. However, selection of ECC scheme is dependent
+on various other factors also like;
+
+(1) support of built in hardware engines.
+ Some legacy OMAP SoC do not have ELM harware engine, so those SoC cannot
+ support ecc-schemes with hardware error-correction (BCHx_HW). However
+ such SoC can use ecc-schemes with software library for error-correction
+ (BCHx_HW_DETECTION_SW). The error correction capability with software
+ library remains equivalent to their hardware counter-part, but there is
+ slight CPU penalty when too many bit-flips are detected during reads.
+
+(2) Device parameters like OOBSIZE.
+ Other factor which governs the selection of ecc-scheme is oob-size.
+ Higher ECC schemes require more OOB/Spare area to store ECC syndrome,
+ so the device should have enough free bytes available its OOB/Spare
+ area to accommodate ECC for entire page. In general following expression
+ helps in determining if given device can accommodate ECC syndrome:
+ "2 + (PAGESIZE / 512) * ECC_BYTES" <= OOBSIZE"
+ where
+ OOBSIZE number of bytes in OOB/spare area
+ PAGESIZE number of bytes in main-area of device page
+ ECC_BYTES number of ECC bytes generated to protect
+ 512 bytes of data, which is:
+ '3' for HAM1_xx ecc schemes
+ '7' for BCH4_xx ecc schemes
+ '14' for BCH8_xx ecc schemes
+ '26' for BCH16_xx ecc schemes
+
+ Example(a): For a device with PAGESIZE = 2048 and OOBSIZE = 64 and
+ trying to use BCH16 (ECC_BYTES=26) ecc-scheme.
+ Number of ECC bytes per page = (2 + (2048 / 512) * 26) = 106 B
+ which is greater than capacity of NAND device (OOBSIZE=64)
+ Hence, BCH16 cannot be supported on given device. But it can
+ probably use lower ecc-schemes like BCH8.
+
+ Example(b): For a device with PAGESIZE = 2048 and OOBSIZE = 128 and
+ trying to use BCH16 (ECC_BYTES=26) ecc-scheme.
+ Number of ECC bytes per page = (2 + (2048 / 512) * 26) = 106 B
+ which can be accommodated in the OOB/Spare area of this device
+ (OOBSIZE=128). So this device can use BCH16 ecc-scheme.
