Subject: [PATCH v10 0/5] mtd: nand: vf610_nfc: Freescale NFC for VF610

The 10th revision includes some more review comments, including an
improved handling of empty NAND pages with hardware ECC.

More information and the full test log of earlier patchset version
can be found in the cover letter of the last revision v6:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1979868

Changes since v9:
- Remove inline of vf610_nfc_done
- Add __iomem to src argument of vf610_nfc_memcpy
- Handle return value of mtd_device_parse_register correctly
- Count bits in OOB too (only non-ECC bits)
- Return bitflips in ecc.read_page callback vf610_nfc_read_page
- Fall-through ALT_BUF_ONFI
- Use BIT macros

Changes since v8:
- Fix 16-Bit NAND flash support by splitting up initialization
(introduce vf610_nfc_preinit_controller)
- Updated comments in initialziation functions

Changes since v7:
- vf610-twr.dts: Moved NFC pinmux into the existing iomuxc node
and sort new nfc node behind the existing iomuxc node as well.
- vf610-twr.dts/vf-colibri.dtsi: Dropped _1 suffixes

Changes since v6:
- Rebased ontop of l2-mtd/master (v4.2-rc1 based)
- Removed HAVE_NAND_VF610_NFC and use depends on. This made
"[PATCH v6 4/6] ARM: vf610: enable NAND Flash Controller" unnecessary

Changes since v5:
- Removed fsl,mpc5125-nfc compatible string
- Removed readl/writel_relaxed
- Change interface of vf610_nfc_transfer_size to match other accessors

Changes since v4:
- Rebased ontop of l2-mtd/master (v4.1-rc4 based)
- Eliminate unnecessary page read (NAND_CMD_SEQIN) since the driver does
not support sub-page writes anyway (improves write performance)
- Support ONFI by enabling READID command with offset and parameter page
reads (CMD_PARAM)
- Change to dedicated read_page/write_page function, enables raw writes
- Use __LITTLE_ENDIAN to distingush between LE/BE relevant statements
- Eliminated vf610_nfc_probe_dt in favor of common DT init code
- Use wait_for_completion_timeout
- Some style fixes (spaces, etc.)

Changes since v3:
- Make the driver selectable when COMPILE_TEST is set
- Fix compile error due to superfluous ECC_STATUS configuration in initial
patch (without ECC correction ECC_STATUS does not need to be configured)
- Remove custom BBT pattern and switch to in-band BBT in the initial patch
- Include two bug fixes, for details see the corresponding U-Boot patches:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.boot-loaders.u-boot/215802

Changes since v2:
- Updated binding documentation

Changes since v1:
- Nest nfc_config struct within the main nfc struct
- Use assigned clock binding to specify NFC clock
- Rebased ontop of MSCM IR patchset (driver parts have been merged)
- Split out arch Kconfig in a separate config
- Fix module license
- Updated MAINTAINERS

Changes since RFC (Bill Pringlemeir):
- Renamed driver from fsl_nfc to vf610_nfc
- Use readl/writel for all register in accessor functions
- Optimized field accessor functions
- Implemented PM (suspend/resume) functions
- Implemented basic support for ECC strength/ECC step size from dt
- Improved performance of count_written_bits by using hweight32
- Support ECC with 60-bytes to correct up to 32 bit errors
- Changed to in-band BBT (NAND_BBT_NO_OOB) which also allows ECC modes
which uses up to 60 bytes on 64 byte OOB
- Removed custom (downstream) BBT pattern since BBT table won't be
compatible anyway (due to the change above)

Subject: [PATCH v10 1/5] mtd: nand: vf610_nfc: Freescale NFC for VF610, MPC5125 and others

This driver supports Freescale NFC (NAND flash controller) found on
Vybrid (VF610), MPC5125, MCF54418 and Kinetis K70. The driver has
been tested on 8-bit and 16-bit NAND interface and supports ONFI
parameter page reading.

Limitations:
- DMA and pipelining not used
- Pages larger than 2k are not supported
- No hardware ECC

The driver has only been tested on Vybrid SoC VF610 and VF500.

Some paths have been hand-optimized and evaluated by measurements
made using mtd_speedtest.ko on a 100MB MTD partition.

Colibri VF50
eb write % eb read % page write % page read %
rel/opt 5175 11537 4560 11039
opt 5164 -0.21 11420 -1.01 4737 +3.88 10918 -1.10
none 5113 -1.20 11352 -1.60 4490 -1.54 10865 -1.58

Colibri VF61
eb write % eb read % page write % page read %
rel/opt 5766 13096 5459 12846
opt 5883 +2.03 13064 -0.24 5561 +1.87 12802 -0.34
none 5701 -1.13 12980 -0.89 5488 +0.53 12735 -0.86

rel = using readl_relaxed/writel_relaxed in optimized paths
opt = hand-optimized by combining multiple accesses into one read/write

The measurements have not been statistically verfied, hence use them
with care. The author came to the conclusion that using the relaxed
variants of readl/writel are not worth the additional code.

Subject: [PATCH v10 2/5] mtd: nand: vf610_nfc: add hardware BCH-ECC support

This adds hardware ECC support using the BCH encoder in the NFC IP.
The ECC encoder supports up to 32-bit correction by using 60 error
correction bytes. There is no sub-page ECC step, ECC is calculated
always accross the whole page (up to 2k pages). Raw writes writes
are possible through the common nand_write_page_raw implementation,
however raw reads are not possible since the hardware ECC mode need
to be enabled at command time.

Subject: [PATCH v10 4/5] ARM: dts: vf610twr: add NAND flash controller peripherial

This adds the NAND flash controller (NFC) peripherial. The driver
supports the SLC NAND chips found on Freescale's Vybrid Tower System
Module. The Micron NAND chip on the module needs 4-bit ECC per 512
byte page. Use 24-bit ECC per 2k page, which is supported by the
driver.

Enable NAND access by adding pinmux and NAND flash controller node

With ECC the controller seems to clear the ECC bytes in SRAM buffer.
This is a dump of 64 Bit OOB with the 32-error ECC mode which requires
60 bytes of OOB for ECC:

[ 22.190273] ff ff ff ff 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00

[ 22.209698] vf610_nfc_correct_data, flips 1

Not sure if this is acceptable, but I now only count the bits in the
non-ECC area of the OOB.

Btw, if the ECC check fails, the controller seems kind of count the
amount of bitflips. It works for most devices reliable, but we had
devices for which that number was not accurate, see:

Why __raw_readb()? That's not normally encourage, and it has issues with
endianness. It looks like maybe this is actulaly a 32-bit register, and
you're having trouble when trying to do bytewise access? I see this
earlier:

/*
* ECC status is stored at NFC_CFG[ECCADD] +4 for little-endian
* and +7 for big-endian SoCs.
*/
#ifdef __LITTLE_ENDIAN
#define ECC_OFFSET 4
#else
#define ECC_OFFSET 7
#endif

So maybe you really just want:

#define ECC_OFFSET 4
...
ecc_status = vf610_nfc_read(ECC_SRAM_ADDR * 8 + ECC_OFFSET) & 0xff;

?

Another side note: why are you using ecc_count as a max threshold? AIUI,
an ECC algorithm doesn't really report useful error count information if
it's above the correction limit. So wouldn't we be looking to count up
to our SW threshold? i.e., ecc.strength / 2, or similar? Similar
comments below.

Hmm, that's not really good. The point is that we need to make sure that
everything that could have been programmed (including the ECC area) was
not actually programmed. But your ECC controller is not, contrary to
MTD's expectations, dumping raw uncorrected data here.

That's not the intention of my suggestion. You're still missing out on a
class of patterns that might look close to all 0xff but are not
actually.

If the HW ECC really doesn't give you valid data+OOB at this point, then
you might have to re-read with ECC disabled. Of course, that's got a
performance cost...

Or perhaps Boris has a better suggestion? He's been surveying other NAND
drivers that need to do similar things, and he's working on providing
some support code for common design patterns.

I'm a little confused there. Why would you be expecting to get a count
of bitflips, when the ECC engine can't correct all errors? How is it
supposed to know what the "right" data is if the bit errors are beyond
the correction strength?

Why the #ifdef? I don't see anything compile-time specific to SOC_VF610.

If this is trying to handle the comment above ("This function supports
Vybrid only (MPC5125 would have full RB and four CS)") then that's the
wrong way of doing it, as you need to support multiplatform kernels.
You'll need to have a way to differentiate the different platform
support at runtime, not compile time.

else ... ?

Maybe you can write this as a formulaic pattern (e.g.:

tmp |= (chip + 1) << ROW_ADDR_CHIP_SEL_SHIFT;

) and just do the "max # of chips" checks on a per-platform basis in the
probe(). Then I'm guessing this same function can apply to both
platforms. (I'm not looking at HW datasheets for this, BTW, just
guessing based on the context here.)

But wait...I see that you call nand_scan_ident() with a max of 1 chip.
So you won't ever see the chip > 0 case, right?

So does this driver support multiple flash attached or not? Looks like
you're assuming you'll only be using chip-select 0. (This is fine for
now, but at least your code should acknowledge this. Perhaps a comment
at the top under "limitations.")

Stumbling across the "multi-CS" questions on the driver reminds me: it
typically makes sense to define new NAND bindings using separate NAND
*controller* and *flash* device nodes. The above 3 properties, at least,
would apply on a per-flash basis, not per-controller typically. See
sunxi-nand, for instance:

http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/mtd/sunxi-nand.txt

brcmnand had a similar pattern:

https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/mtd/brcm,brcmnand.txt

(Perhaps it's time we standardized this a little more formally...)

AFAICT (even with the 2nd patch), you never really use this field. You
just set it/increment it, but don't use it for anything. Kill it?

The exact threshold value is still something I'm not sure about, though
I'm sure it should be correlated to ecc.strength value (whether it's
directly set to ecc.strength or less than ecc.strength is something
we'll have to figure out).

Yep, for this test we really need the ECC bytes generated for the chunk
you're currently testing.
How to retrieve those bytes really depends on your NAND controller, but
such controllers usually provides a way to disable the ECC engine. The
only thing you'll have to do in this case is disable the ECC engine and
read the OOB data (using RNDOUT and read_buf for example).

Exactly.

As suggested above, if that's possible, reading the OOB area (or a
portion of the OOB area) with the ECC engine disabled should be enough.

These would apply per chip, but the controller has to be configured to
support each and every one. Every time an operation was performed, we
would have to check the chip type and reconfigure the controller.
Currently, the driver does not support this and it would add a lot of
overhead in some cases unless a register cache was used.

Is the flexibility of using a system with combined 8/16bit devices
really worth all the overhead? Isn't it sort of brain dead hardware not
to make all of the chips similar? Why would everyone have to pay for
such a crazy setup?

To separate it would at least be a lie versus the code in the current
form. As well, there are only a few SOC which support multiple chip
selects. The 'multi-CS' register bits of this controller varies between
PowerPC, 68K/Coldfire and ARM platforms.

I looked briefly at the brcmnand.c and it seems that it is not
supporting different ECC per chip even though the nodes are broken out
this way. In fact, if some raw functions are called, I think it will
put it in ECC mode even if it wasn't before? Well, I agree that this
would be good generically, I think it puts a lot of effort in the
drivers for not so much payoff?

Fwiw,
Bill Pringlemeir.

Hm, the sunxi driver supports it, and it does not add such a big
overhead...
The only thing you have to do is cache a bunch of register values
per-chip and restore/apply them when the chip is selected
(in your ->select_chip() implementation).

Anyway, even if the suggested DT representation is a lie in regards to
your implementation, it's actually pretty accurate from an hardware
POV, and this is exactly what DT is supposed to represent.

Boris

Initially, that was the only threshold below, hence it made sense. But I

Yes I can do that. Not sure yet how it will look like exactly, maybe I
only need to reread the OOB area and (re-)use the main data part since
those arrive uncorrected in the error case.

When printing the ECC error count on ECC fail when reading an erased
NAND flash, the numbers of bit flips (stuck at zero) seem to widely
correlate with the number returned by the controller. While it seems to
correlate widely, there are exceptions, as discussed in the thread:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ports.arm.kernel/295424

Maybe this is an artifact of the ECC algorithm we just can't/shouldn't
rely on? I am not sure where this originated, I did not found any
indication in the reference manual about what that value contains in the
error case.

Bill, do you have an idea why we used that value as threshold in early
implementations?

Otherwise I also think we should just drop the use of this value.

The DT can be a lie versus the code. The DT should reflect how the
hardware is wired, afaik, if we take shortcuts in the driver code, that
is fine. If we don't support a certain configuration right now (e.g.
second NAND chip), the driver can just return an appropriate error code.

I agree with both of you. I don't see much value implementing multi-NAND
chip support, especially with different configurations, at the moment. I
am not aware of any hardware making use of that now.

I will update the driver to parse a NAND sub node and get the ECC
properties from the per flash configuration. However, I won't add chip
select or multi-NAND support right now...

Any objection?

Right, I was only asking for:
(1) a more accurate DT and
(2) clarity in the driver; the clarity might just be "we don't support
multi-CS"

Nope, sounds good to me.

A few tips:
* be defensive; i.e., error out if someone specifies 2 flash in the DT
* use the 'reg' property to be the addressing index in the flash
sub-node; i.e., the chip-select. This fits the practice done by most
others, I think.

Doesn't sound too reliable to me. And I'm not sure even if it was
reliable, that it would provide much value. We have to a lot of
re-counting anyway, so we might as well just be using our own threshold.
Or maybe I'm missing the point.

Yes it is trying to handle the comment above. Well, the other two
platforms I am aware of are also different architectures... (PowerPC and
ColdFire). I think we won't have a multi-architecture kernel anytime
soon, hence I think removing the code at compile time is the right thing
todo.

However, probably CONFIG_SOC_VF610 is the wrong symbol then, I could
just use CONFIG_ARM and add a comment that this might be different on
another other ARM SoC than VF610.

Just checked CodingStyle, and I see that IS_ENABLED is the preferred way
for conditional compiling.

So my suggestion:

static void vf610_nfc_select_chip(struct mtd_info *mtd, int chip)
{
struct vf610_nfc *nfc = mtd_to_nfc(mtd);
u32 tmp = vf610_nfc_read(nfc, NFC_ROW_ADDR);

if (!IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_ARM))
return;

/*
* This code is only tested on the ARM platform VF610
* PowerPC based MPC5125 would have full RB and four CS
*/
....

With that the compiler should be able to remove this (currently) ARM
VF610 specific code on the other supported architectures...

What do you think?

It seems that MCP5125 is different than VF610. MCP5125 has 4 chip
selects and 4 R/B signals, whereas VF610 has only 2 chip selects and
just 1 R/B signals...

It is used in the write path, I think I meant to use it for subpage
writes, when I thought it would just mean to transfer only parts of the
page to the controller.

However, as the subpage discussion basically concluded in not using it
for now on this controller, we can as well transfer the complete page
(page_sz). Or is there another case in which vf610_nfc_write_buf could
be called with less than page_sz?

The code structure isn't bad, and yes, IS_ENABLED() would be preferable,
as it removes some of the problems with #ifdef, but I still don't think
the processor architecture has much to do with the version of the IP.
The canonical way of distiguishing per-IP revisions is to key on the
compatible property. So you'd have some kind of enum, which would
currently only have an entry for VF610. i.e.:

/* MPC5125 not yet supported */
if (nfc->revision != NAND_VFC610)
return;

OK I don't presume to know what the different IP versions look like. And
if you just note they are unsupported/untested, you're fine.

Ah, you're right. Sorry, I missed that. I got mixed up seeing most of
your uses of 'page_sz' were for a local variable of the same name, not
this field.

I'll leave that up to you. I'm perfectly fine leaving it in, now that I
see its proper use. Just in case things change in the future, I think it
does help to clarify the flow of information a little. Although, I might
recommend a change in naming, since it could get confused with the
actual page size -- which is normally constant -- whereas this field
changes dynamically depending on the command-in-flight.

Perhaps the struct could have 'write_len' (to help represent an action)
and the local variable in vf610_nfc_command() could be 'tfr_len' (to
distinguish how it isn't necessarily identical to 'write_len')? Just
throwing (likely bad) ideas out there.

Brian

Well yes, the processor architecture has probably not much to do with
the IP version.

However, that particular problem, the wiring up of the CS/RB signals, is
probably more SoC (as a whole) specific, and how that is done might have
some relation which architecture is in use...

I do not have a strong opinion on this, so we might as well go with the
run-time distinction using compatible. If there are different IP
variants within one architecture, we anyway would need to do that.

Ok, just checked, I can use the data field of the of table to assign
specific data to a compatible string, similar to how pxa3xx_nand.c does
it.

Yes, using this value is not especially useful if we re-read with ECC
disabled to count the bit flips for erased pages. I think this is what
Stefan has done in the 11th patch set.
