Subject: [PATCH v2 0/4] mtd: rawnand: Fixes nand infra delay setting and FSMC nand controller

Hi,

This patch series is mainly related to FSMC nand controller fixes except
for the two first patches which fix some issues in nand base.

Details are given in each patches.

Related to the v1 series:
- the patch related to 8bit accesses has been removed as it was
not needed (I misunderstood 8bit accesses meaning).
- A new patch is introduced related to nand_choose_best_timings()
issue I discovered during this v2 testing.

Best regards,
Herve Codina

mtd: rawnand: Fix nand_choose_best_timings() on unsupported interface
mtd: rawnand: fsmc: Take instruction delay into account

Subject: [PATCH v2 3/4] mtd: rawnand: fsmc: Take instruction delay into account

The FSMC NAND controller should apply a delay after the
instruction has been issued on the bus.
The FSMC NAND controller driver did not handle this delay.

Add this waiting delay in the FSMC NAND controller driver.

Subject: [PATCH v2 1/4] mtd: rawnand: Fix nand_erase_op delay

NAND_OP_CMD() expect a delay parameter in nanoseconds.
The delay value is wrongly given in milliseconds.

Fix the conversion macro used in order to set this
delay in nanoseconds.

Subject: [PATCH v2 2/4] mtd: rawnand: Fix nand_choose_best_timings() on unsupported interface

When the NV-DDR interface is not supported by the NAND chip,
the value of onfi->nvddr_timing_modes is 0. In this case,
the best_mode variable value in nand_choose_best_nvddr_timings()
is -1. The last for-loop is skipped and the function returns an
uninitialized value.
If this returned value is 0, the nand_choose_best_sdr_timings()
is not executed and no 'best timing' are set. This leads the host
controller and the NAND chip working at default mode 0 timing
even if a better timing can be used.

Fix this uninitialzed returned value.

nand_choose_best_sdr_timings() is pretty similar to
nand_choose_best_nvddr_timings(). Even if onfi->sdr_timing_modes
should never be seen as 0, nand_choose_best_sdr_timings() returned
value is fixed.

Subject: [PATCH v2 4/4] mtd: rawnand: fsmc: Fix timing computation

Under certain circumstances, the timing settings calculated by
the FSMC NAND controller driver were inaccurate.
These settings lead to incorrect data reads or fallback to
mode 0 timings depending on NAND chip used.

The timing computation did not take into account the following
constraint given in SPEAr3xx reference manual:
twait >= tCEA - tset*TCLK + TOUTDEL + TINDEL

Enhance the timings calculation by taking into account this
additional constraint.

The change has no impact on slow timing mode such as mode 0.
Indeed, on mode 0 timing, computed values are the same with and
without the patch.

The NAND that previously used the mode 0 fallback timing is
working in mode 3 timing.
The read/writes accesses performances (flash_speed tool result)
are the following:
mode0 mode3
eraseblock write speed 3220 KiB/s 4511 KiB/s
eraseblock read speed 4491 KiB/s 7529 KiB/s

The NAND where data reads were previously incorrect are correct
and this NAND is also working at mode 3 timing.

oneOf:
- fallbacks to timing mode 0
- fallbacks to mode 0
but "mode X timing" does not look good :) (same below, it applies all
over this commit log)

I believe we should be more generic:
"NANDs which previously stayed in mode 0 because of ... can now work
at higher speeds and NANDs which were not working at all because of the
corrupted data returned interact at high speeds without troubles.

Overall improvement on a <flash name/type>:"

It is certainly best if in plain text we follow the same spacing
convention than in the code: (tset * TCLK). Same applies to your commit
log.

Actually is not the first time this uninitialized value triggers bells
but, while I think in the SDR path it is still not needed,in the DDR
patch you are right that something is missing.
