mtd: drop unnecessary partition parser data

2015-11-11T21:58:59+00:00

We should assign the MTD dev.of_node instead of the parser data field.
This gets us the equivalent partition parser behavior with fewer special
fields and parameter passing.

Also convert several of these to mtd_device_register(), since we don't
need the 2nd and 3rd parameters anymore.

Pull MTD updates from Brian Norris:
 "Core:

   - WARN (in some cases) when a struct mtd_info is registered multiple
     times; in the past this was "supported", but it's still error prone
     for future development.  There's only one ugly case of this left in
     the tree (that we're aware of) and the owners are aware of the
     problems there.

   - fix potential deadlock in the blkdev removal path NOTE: the
     (potential) deadlock was introduced in a for-stable patch.  This
     one is also marked for -stable.

   - ioctl(BLKPG) compat_ioctl support; resolves issues with 32-bit user
     space vs 64-bit kernel space

   - Set MTD parent device correctly throughout the tree, so the tree
     structure appears correctly in sysfs; many drivers were missing
     this (soft) requirement

   - Move device tree partitions (ofpart) into a dedicated 'partitions'
     subnode; this helps to disambiguate whether a node is a partition
     or some other auxiliary data

   - Improve error handling for partitioning failures

  NAND:

   - General: Increase timeout period, for corner-case systems with
     less-than-accurate jiffies

   - Fix OF-based autoloading of several NAND drivers when built as
     modules

   - pxa3xx_nand:
      - Rework timing configuration to be more dynamic
      - Refactor PM support

   - brcmnand: prepare for NorthStar 2 support (ARM64, 16-bit NAND
     chips)

   - sunxi_nand: refactoring and a few bug fixes

   - vf610: new NAND driver

   - FSMC: add SW BCH support; support common NAND DT bindings

   - lpc32xx_slc: refactor and improve timing calculations logic

   - denali: support for rev 5.1

  SPI NOR:

   - Layering improvements

   - Added Winbond lock/unlock support

   - Added mtd_is_locked() (i.e., ioctl(MEMISLOCKED)) support

   - Increase full-chip-erase timeout linearly with flash size

   - fsl-quadspi: fix compile for non-ARM architectures

   - New flash support"

spi: Drop owner assignment from spi_drivers

2015-10-28T01:30:17+00:00

An spi_driver does not need to set an owner, it will be populated by the
driver core.

mtd: dataflash: Export OF module alias information

2015-08-22T01:01:42+00:00

The SPI core currently reports the MODALIAS uevent as "spi:"
even for SPI devices that were registered by OF.

That means the OF module alias exported by MODULE_OF_TABLE(of,...) is
currently not used and user-space has no way to autoload this module.

But it is still a good practice to add the OF module alias information
into the kernel module even when it currently is unused so once the SPI
core is changed to report a correct OF modalias uevent, module
autoloading will be working for this driver.

mtd: dataflash: Remove use of tx_dma

2014-11-05T20:57:24+00:00

We are trying to remove the legacy tx_dma and rx_dma fields from the
spi_transfer structure. Currently dataflash uses tx_dma but only to make
sure that it's set to 0 so we can remove this use by replacing with a
zero initialisation of the entire spi_transfer struct.

mtd: Fix the behavior of OTP write if there is not enough room for data

2014-03-11T05:42:31+00:00

If a write to one time programmable memory (OTP) hits the end of this
memory area, no more data can be written. The count variable in
mtdchar_write() in drivers/mtd/mtdchar.c is not decreased anymore.
We are trapped in the loop forever, mtdchar_write() will never return
in this case.

The desired behavior of a write in such a case is described in [1]:
- Try to write as much data as possible, truncate the write to fit into
  the available memory and return the number of bytes that actually
  have been written.
- If no data could be written at all, return -ENOSPC.

This patch fixes the behavior of OTP write if there is not enough space
for all data:

1) mtd_write_user_prot_reg() in drivers/mtd/mtdcore.c is modified to
   return -ENOSPC if no data could be written at all.
2) mtdchar_write() is modified to handle -ENOSPC correctly. Exit if a
   write returned -ENOSPC and yield the correct return value, either
   then number of bytes that could be written, or -ENOSPC, if no data
   could be written at all.

Furthermore the patch harmonizes the behavior of the OTP memory write
in drivers/mtd/devices/mtd_dataflash.c with the other implementations
and the requirements from [1]. Instead of returning -EINVAL if the data
does not fit into the OTP memory, we try to write as much data as
possible/truncate the write.

mtd: delete non-required instances of include

2014-03-11T05:42:22+00:00

None of these files are actually using any __init type directives
and hence don't need to include .  Most are just a
left over from __devinit and __cpuinit removal, or simply due to
code getting copied from one driver to the next.
