Re: [PATCH RESEND v4 00/37] mtd: st_spi_fsm: Add new driver

Hi Lee,

Sorry for the delay. I have now had a quick look through the patches. Just a
couple of points :-)

* stfsm_probe(): stfsm_fetch_platform_configs() needs to be called *before*
config() -- config() is based on platform capabilities. Conceptually,
stfsm_fetch_platform_configs() should be called before stfsm_jedec_probe(), and
FLASH_FLAG_32BIT_ADDR should be moved out of stfsm_fetch_platform_configs(),
placed just after stfsm_jedec_probe() but before config().

* fsm_wait_busy(): logic not quite correct if we get a P_ERR or E_ERR error
after a timeout. I am also not sure about returning (uint8_t)-EIO. For what
its worth, this is what I did in response to Brian's comment about the race
condition:

static uint8_t fsm_wait_busy(struct stm_spi_fsm *fsm, unsigned int max_time_ms)
{
struct fsm_seq *seq = &fsm_seq_read_status_fifo;
unsigned long deadline;
uint32_t status;
int timeout = 0;

/* Use RDRS1 */
seq->seq_opc[0] = (SEQ_OPC_PADS_1 |
SEQ_OPC_CYCLES(8) |
SEQ_OPC_OPCODE(FLASH_CMD_RDSR));

/* Load read_status sequence */
fsm_load_seq(fsm, seq);

/*
* Repeat until busy bit is deasserted, or timeout, or error (S25FLxxxS)
*/
deadline = jiffies + msecs_to_jiffies(max_time_ms);
while (!timeout) {
cond_resched();

if (time_after_eq(jiffies, deadline))
timeout = 1;

fsm_wait_seq(fsm);

fsm_read_fifo(fsm, &status, 4);

if ((status & FLASH_STATUS_BUSY) == 0)
return 0;

if ((fsm->configuration & CFG_S25FL_CHECK_ERROR_FLAGS) &&
((status & S25FL_STATUS_P_ERR) ||
(status & S25FL_STATUS_E_ERR)))
return (uint8_t)(status & 0xff);

if (!timeout)
/* Restart */
writel(seq->seq_cfg, fsm->base + SPI_FAST_SEQ_CFG);
}

dev_err(fsm->dev, "timeout on wait_busy\n");

return FLASH_STATUS_TIMEOUT;
}

and:

static int fsm_wait_seq(struct stm_spi_fsm *fsm)
{
unsigned long deadline = jiffies +
msecs_to_jiffies(FSM_MAX_WAIT_SEQ_MS);
int timeout = 0;

while (!timeout) {
if (time_after_eq(jiffies, deadline))
timeout = 1;

if (fsm_is_idle(fsm))
return 0;

cond_resched();
}

dev_err(fsm->dev, "timeout on sequence completion\n");

return 1;
}


* "MFD" creeps into a few commit logs ;-)

Cheers,

Angus
