[v6] Meson: R/W support for pages used by boot ROM

[PATCH v6 1/3] dt-bindings: mtd: amlogic,meson-nand: support fields for boot ROM code

Posted by Arseniy Krasnov 1 year, 7 months ago

Boot ROM code on Meson requires that some pages on NAND must be written
in special mode: "short" ECC mode where each block is 384 bytes and
scrambling mode is on. Such pages are located on the chip in the
following way (for example):

[ p0 ][ p1 ][ p2 ][ p3 ][ p4 ][ p5 ][ p6 ][ p7 ] ... [ pN ]
  ^           ^           ^           ^

pX is page number "X". "^" means "special" page used by boot ROM - e.g.
every 2nd page in the range of [0, 7]. Step (2 in example is set by
'amlogic,boot-page-step' field. Last page in range (7 in example) is
set by 'amlogic,boot-pages' field.

Applied to https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mtd/linux.git nand/next, thanks.

Changelog:

v5 -> v6:

* Update description in 'yaml' and commit message by adding more details
  about such special Meson mode. R-b was removed so.

Thanks, Arseniy

Please add Acked-by/Reviewed-by tags when posting new versions. However,
there's no need to repost patches *only* to add the tags. The upstream
maintainer will do that for acks received on the version they apply.

If a tag was not added on purpose, please state why and what changed.
