Is there a reason that you dropped me from the Cc list? If you Cc me,
the feedback loop is faster. Please continue to Cc me on this driver.

I tested this version of the driver with this exact Micron flash in an
on-die configuration against v5.3-rc4. The patch applied cleanly and
built without problems. The driver detects the chip and works
"somewhat". One can interact with portions of the flash, but the amount
of ECC errors returned makes it unusable. I was able to reproduce the
same issue on multiple devices.

I cannot confirm that the driver works.
For completeness sake, here is the decompiled DT that I used:
memory-controller@e000e000 {
#address-cells = <0x2>;
#size-cells = <0x1>;
status = "okay";
clock-names = "memclk", "apb_pclk";
clocks = <0x1 0xb 0x1 0x2c>;
compatible = "arm,pl353-smc-r2p1", "arm,primecell";
interrupt-parent = <0x4>;
interrupts = <0x0 0x12 0x4>;
ranges = <0x0 0x0 0xe1000000 0x1000000>;
reg = <0xe000e000 0x1000>;
flash@e1000000 {
status = "okay";
compatible = "arm,pl353-nand-r2p1";
reg = <0x0 0x0 0x1000000>;
#address-cells = <0x1>;
#size-cells = <0x1>;
nand-ecc-mode = "on-die";
nand-bus-width = <0x8>;
};
};
I am posting a decompiled DT, because parts are generated using
https://github.com/Xilinx/device-tree-xlnx.
The driver from the xlnx 4.14 tree continues to work with the hardware I
used for testing.
