Subject: [PATCH V2 0/2] Fix issues related to register access in IPQ NAND

Patch 1: avoids register write to unavailable SFLASHC_BURST_CFG register
Patch 2: set BAM mode only if not set by bootloader

[V2]
* As per review comments from Miquèl split the original patch into two
addressing independent issues.

mtd: rawnand: qcom: remove write to unavailable register
mtd: rawnand: qcom: set BAM mode only if not set already

Subject: [PATCH V2 2/2] mtd: rawnand: qcom: set BAM mode only if not set already

BAM mode is set by writing BAM_MODE_EN bit on NAND_CTRL register.
NAND_CTRL is an operational register and in BAM mode operational
registers are read only.

So, before writing into NAND_CTRL register check if BAM mode is already
enabled by bootloader, and set BAM mode only if it is not set already.

Does this currently produces an issue at runtime?

If yes, you should have a Fixes/CC: stable pair of tags.

Also, what is BAM mode? Please tell us in the commit log.

Thanks,

Currently this is not causing any issue on run time.

The writes to this register is silently ignored.

However, this could be an issue in future Hardware designs.

BAM is the DMA engine on QCOM IPQ platforms, sure will explain this

mode in next patchset.

I don't like so much the idea of DMA being enabled by the Bootloader or
not, this is something that should need to be fixed.
