[ Upstream commit 336c218dd7f0588ed8a7345f367975a00a4f003f ]

GCC 12.3.0 compiler on linux-next next-20240709 tree found the execution
path in which, due to lazy evaluation, devlength isn't initialised with the
parsed string:

   289		while (map) {
   290			devname = devstart = devlength = NULL;
   291
   292			if (!(devname = strsep(&amp;map, ","))) {
   293				E("slram: No devicename specified.\n");
   294				break;
   295			}
   296			T("slram: devname = %s\n", devname);
   297			if ((!map) || (!(devstart = strsep(&amp;map, ",")))) {
   298				E("slram: No devicestart specified.\n");
   299			}
   300			T("slram: devstart = %s\n", devstart);
 → 301			if ((!map) || (!(devlength = strsep(&amp;map, ",")))) {
   302				E("slram: No devicelength / -end specified.\n");
   303			}
 → 304			T("slram: devlength = %s\n", devlength);
   305			if (parse_cmdline(devname, devstart, devlength) != 0) {
   306				return(-EINVAL);
   307			}

Parsing should be finished after map == NULL, so a break is best inserted after
each E("slram: ... \n") error message.

commit 49c64df880570034308e4a9a49c4bc95cf8cdb33 upstream.

The variable 'name' is released multiple times in the error path,
which may cause double free issues.
This problem is avoided by adding a goto label to release the memory
uniformly. And this change also makes the code a bit more cleaner.

commit 14f89e088155314d311e4d4dd9f2b4ccaeef92b2 upstream.

Due to the use of sizeof(), command size set for the spi transfer
was wrong. Driver was sending and receiving always 1 byte less
and especially on write, it was hanging.

echo -n -e "\\x1\\x2\\x3\\x4" &gt; /dev/mtd1

And read part too now works as expected.

<id>893f4092a3b2604977f62ab9e89e89eed89af113</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 69c7f4618c16b4678f8a4949b6bb5ace259c0033 upstream.

Any write with either dd or flashcp to a device driven by the
spear_smi.c driver will pass through the spear_smi_cpy_toio()
function. This function will get called for chunks of up to 256 bytes.
If the amount of data is smaller, we may have a problem if the data
length is not 4-byte aligned. In this situation, the kernel panics
during the memcpy:

    # dd if=/dev/urandom bs=1001 count=1 of=/dev/mtd6
    spear_smi_cpy_toio [620] dest c9070000, src c7be8800, len 256
    spear_smi_cpy_toio [620] dest c9070100, src c7be8900, len 256
    spear_smi_cpy_toio [620] dest c9070200, src c7be8a00, len 256
    spear_smi_cpy_toio [620] dest c9070300, src c7be8b00, len 233
    Unhandled fault: external abort on non-linefetch (0x808) at 0xc90703e8
    [...]
    PC is at memcpy+0xcc/0x330

The above error occurs because the implementation of memcpy_toio()
tries to optimize the number of I/O by writing 4 bytes at a time as
much as possible, until there are less than 4 bytes left and then
switches to word or byte writes.

Unfortunately, the specification states about the Write Burst mode:

        "the next AHB Write request should point to the next
	incremented address and should have the same size (byte,
	half-word or word)"

This means ARM architecture implementation of memcpy_toio() cannot
reliably be used blindly here. Workaround this situation by update the
write path to stick to byte access when the burst length is not
multiple of 4.

<title>mtd: phram: Module parameters add writable permissions</title>

The phram code implements managing multiple devices through a linked
list.
However, due to the module parameter permission of 0, the
/sys/module/phram/parameters/phram interface is missing.
The command line arguments in insmod can only create one device.

Therefore, add writable permissions to the module parameters, create
/sys/module/phram/parameters/phram interface, and create multi-device
support.

<title>mtd: spi-nor: Move m25p80 code in spi-nor.c</title>

The m25p80 driver is actually a generic wrapper around the spi-mem
layer. Not only the driver name is misleading, but we'd expect such a
common logic to be directly available in the core. Another reason for
moving this code is that SPI NOR controller drivers should
progressively be replaced by SPI controller drivers implementing the
spi_mem_ops interface, and when the conversion is done, we should have
a single spi-nor driver directly interfacing with the spi-mem layer.

While moving the code we also fix a longstanding issue when
non-DMA-able buffers are passed by the MTD layer.
