Subject: [PATCH] mtd: spi-nor: Correct flags for Winbond w25q128

The Winbond W25Q128 (actual vendor name W25Q128JV)
has exactly the same flags as the sibling device
w25q128fw. The devices both require unlocking and
support dual and quad SPI transport.

The actual product naming between devices:

0xef4018: "w25q128" W25Q128JV-IM/JM
0xef7018: "w25q128fw" W25Q128JV-IN/IQ/JQ

The latter device, "w25q128fw" supports features
named DTQ and QPI, otherwise it is the same.

Not having the right flags has the annoying side
effect that write access does not work.

After this patch I can write to the flash on the
Inteno XG6846 router.

Not necessarily see below. Do you know what part numbers is
written on your flash?

Where do you get that string? from winbond.c? Because,
then it's incorrect. For 0xef7018 its actually w25q128jv.

But that being said, Winbond is known to reuse the IDs among its
flashes. From a quick look at various datasheets:

0x60 seems to be DW, FW and NW(Q) series
0x70 seems to be JV(M)
0x80 seems to be NW(M)
0x40 seems to be BV, JV(Q), "V" (probably the first [1])

(Q) denotes the fixed quad enable bit.

Now 0x40 are the first ones who where added back in the days. I'm
not sure, what kind of winbond devices there were and if they
support dual/quad read.

Normally, you'd use a .fixups (see w25q256_fixups for example) to
dynamically detect the newer flash type and then refine the flags.
But because we don't know how the older flashes look like, that
would be just guessing :/ Although, I've once thought about
fingerprinting the SFDP tables eg. by some hash. But that would
assume the SFDP data is not changing a lot on a given device. Not
sure if that is the case, we just began to collect SFDP tables
of various devices.

If it turns out that only SPI_NOR_HAS_LOCK and SPI_NOR_HAS_TB
is needed, I'm leaning towards just adding these flags to the
w25q128 entry. According to [1] this was already supported
back in the days.

This should only apply to FLAGS(SPI_NOR_HAS_LOCK | SPI_NOR_HAS_TB).

I'd guess your flash supports SFDP, then the NO_SFDP_FLAGS should be
automatically detected. Could you please dump the SFDP tables
(described in [2])?

As mentioned above, could you try without the DUAL_READ/QUAD_READ flags.
You can have a look at the debugfs whether the detected capabilities
are still the same with and without these flags.

Thanks for helping out Michael, I would never get this
right without people like you!

Yes, if I look at it with a looking glass it says
Winbond
25Q128JVF

Yes

No I just confused things, it should be w25q128jv not fw.
But the actual names to the right are from the datasheet,
they are kind of both actually named "jv" :/

They are absolutely needed, else I cannot write to the flash.

It works fine but I cannot judge if it is faster or slower,
I guess it mostly affects the speed right?

Don't I need to set the PARSE_SFDP macro here, to turn
.parse_sfdp = true?

This is with no changes:

root@OpenWrt:/sys/kernel/debug/spi-nor/spi1.0# cat capabilities
Supported read modes by the flash
1S-1S-1S
opcode 0x03
mode cycles 0
dummy cycles 0
1S-1S-1S (fast read)
opcode 0x0b
mode cycles 0
dummy cycles 8

Supported page program modes by the flash
1S-1S-1S
opcode 0x02

This is with PARSE_SFDP:

root@OpenWrt:/sys/kernel/debug/spi-nor/spi1.0# cat capabilities
Supported read modes by the flash
1S-1S-1S
opcode 0x03
mode cycles 0
dummy cycles 0
1S-1S-1S (fast read)
opcode 0x0b
mode cycles 0
dummy cycles 8
1S-1S-2S
opcode 0x3b
mode cycles 0
dummy cycles 8
1S-2S-2S
opcode 0xbb
mode cycles 2
dummy cycles 2
1S-1S-4S
opcode 0x6b
mode cycles 0
dummy cycles 8
1S-4S-4S
opcode 0xeb

dummy cycles 4
4S-4S-4S
opcode 0xeb
mode cycles 2
dummy cycles 0

Supported page program modes by the flash
1S-1S-1S
opcode 0x02

So indeed it works with SFDP parsing! I'll send an updated patch.

I guess a lot of the chips could actually use this but someone has
to test them on a 1-by-1 basis?

Yours,
