PATCH v2 1/1 16 bit NAND fix, request for testers

just a small patch to access GPMC NAND registers with 16 bits when the NAND is in 16 bit mode. I tested this on a 2.6.37 kernel, and noticed it was still unpatched in the latest kernel. I don't have the hardware setup or defconfigs to test this patch out, and even if I did I don't have the logic analyzer setup to completely reproduce it on other hardware with the latest kernel. It would be nice to get a tested-by on this patch.

(CC'd mtd list this time)

Thanks.

PATCH v2 1/1 mtd: omap: nand: Remove 0xFF's that prefixed 16bit NAND commands

In 16bit NAND mode the GPMC would send the command 0xNN as 0xFFNN instead of 0x00NN on the bus. The 0xFFs were actually uninitialized bits that were left unset in the GPMC command output register. The reason they weren't initialized in 16bit mode is that if the same code that writes to this register was used in 8bit mode then 2 commands would be output in 8bit mode. One for the low byte, and an extra 0x0 command for the high byte. This commit uses writew if we're using 16bit NAND.

Most chips seem fine with the extra 0xFFs, but the ONFI spec says otherwise.

Hi Christopher,

Nitpick: I think you should replace 'command' with 'address' in your commit message. The ONFI spec says Host should send _address_ byte NN as 0x00NN. It is OK to send command NN as 0xFFNN, as explicitly mentioned in ONFI 3.1 spec (section 2.16):

2.16. Bus Width Requirements
All NAND Targets per device shall use the same data bus width. All targets shall either have an 8-bit bus width or a 16-bit bus width. Note that devices that support the NV-DDR or NV-DDR2 data interface shall have an 8-bit bus width.
When the host supports a 16-bit bus width, only data is transferred at the 16-bit width. All address and command line transfers shall use only the lower 8-bits of the data bus. During command transfers, the host may place any value on the upper 8-bits of the data bus. During address transfers, the host shall set the upper 8-bits of the data bus to 00h.

Your patch deals with both command and address bytes, which does not hurt. BR,

Ok, makes sense. Thanks for pointing that out. I'll update the wording.

!!! Did anybody get around to testing this? I thought this patch had
been abandoned. Will testing get done on an omap chip now that it is in a tree?

I should have prefixed it with RFC.

I'm running a slight variation of it on another version of the kernel. I'm glad you're dropping it though...I have a reputation to maintain as well as a kernel. ;)
