However, some -controllers (such as Freescale's QuadSPI controller) cannot easily handle -arbitrary streams of bytes, but rather are designed specifically for SPI NOR. - -In particular, Freescale's QuadSPI controller must know the NOR commands to -find the right LUT sequence. Unfortunately, the SPI subsystem has no notion of -opcodes, addresses, or data payloads; a SPI controller simply knows to send or -receive bytes (Tx and Rx). Therefore, we must define a new layering scheme under -which the controller driver is aware of the opcodes, addressing, and other -details of the SPI NOR protocol. - -Part II - How does the framework work? --------------------------------------- - -This framework just adds a new layer between the MTD and the SPI bus driver. -With this new layer, the SPI NOR controller driver does not depend on the -m25p80 code anymore. - -Before this framework, the layer is like:: - - MTD - ------------------------ - m25p80 - ------------------------ - SPI bus driver - ------------------------ - SPI NOR chip - -After this framework, the layer is like:: - - MTD - ------------------------ - SPI NOR framework - ------------------------ - m25p80 - ------------------------ - SPI bus driver - ------------------------ - SPI NOR chip - -With the SPI NOR controller driver (Freescale QuadSPI), it looks like:: - - MTD - ------------------------ - SPI NOR framework - ------------------------ - fsl-quadSPI - ------------------------ - SPI NOR chip - -Part III - How can drivers use the framework? ---------------------------------------------- - -The main API is spi_nor_scan(). Before you call the hook, a driver should -initialize the necessary fields for spi_nor{}. Please see -drivers/mtd/spi-nor/spi-nor.c for detail. Please also refer to spi-fsl-qspi.c -when you want to write a new driver for a SPI NOR controller. +How to propose a new flash addition +----------------------------------- + +Most SPI NOR flashes comply with the JEDEC JESD216 +Serial Flash Discoverable Parameter (SFDP) standard. SFDP describes +the functional and feature capabilities of serial flash devices in a +standard set of internal read-only parameter tables. + +The SPI NOR driver queries the SFDP tables in order to determine the +flash's parameters and settings. If the flash defines the SFDP tables +it's likely that you won't need a flash entry at all, and instead +rely on the generic flash driver which probes the flash solely based +on its SFDP data. All one has to do is to specify the "jedec,spi-nor" +compatible in the device tree. + +There are cases however where you need to define an explicit flash +entry. This typically happens when the flash has settings or support +that is not covered by the SFDP tables (e.g. Block Protection), or +when the flash contains mangled SFDP data. If the later, one needs +to implement the ``spi_nor_fixups`` hooks in order to amend the SFDP +parameters with the correct values. + +Minimum testing requirements +----------------------------- + +Do all the tests from below and paste them in the commit's comments +section, after the ``---`` marker. + +1) Specify the controller that you used to test the flash and specify + the frequency at which the flash was operated, e.g.:: + + This flash is populated on the X board and was tested at Y + frequency using the Z (put compatible) SPI controller. + +2) Dump the sysfs entries and print the md5/sha1/sha256 SFDP checksum:: + + root@1:~# cat /sys/bus/spi/devices/spi0.0/spi-nor/partname + sst26vf064b + root@1:~# cat /sys/bus/spi/devices/spi0.0/spi-nor/jedec_id + bf2643 + root@1:~# cat /sys/bus/spi/devices/spi0.0/spi-nor/manufacturer + sst + root@1:~# xxd -p /sys/bus/spi/devices/spi0.0/spi-nor/sfdp + 53464450060102ff00060110300000ff81000106000100ffbf0001180002 + 0001fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffd20f1ffffffff0344eb086b + 083b80bbfeffffffffff00ffffff440b0c200dd80fd810d820914824806f + 1d81ed0f773830b030b0f7ffffff29c25cfff030c080ffffffffffffffff + ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff + ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff + ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff + ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff + ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff0004fff37f0000f57f0000f9ff + 7d00f57f0000f37f0000ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff + ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff + ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff + ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff + ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff + ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff + ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff + ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff + ffffbf2643ffb95ffdff30f260f332ff0a122346ff0f19320f1919ffffff + ffffffff00669938ff05013506040232b03072428de89888a585c09faf5a + ffff06ec060c0003080bffffffffff07ffff0202ff060300fdfd040700fc + 0300fefe0202070e + root@1:~# sha256sum /sys/bus/spi/devices/spi0.0/spi-nor/sfdp + 428f34d0461876f189ac97f93e68a05fa6428c6650b3b7baf736a921e5898ed1 /sys/bus/spi/devices/spi0.0/spi-nor/sfdp + + Please dump the SFDP tables using ``xxd -p``.
