Subject: [PATCH v4 0/4] mtd: spi-nor: OTP support

This patchset implements the MTD OTP functions to allow access to the SPI
OTP data. Specific support is added for Winbond flash chips.

In the past there was already an attempt by Rahul Bedarkar to add this, but
there was no response. These patches are slightly based on his work.

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mtd/[email protected]/

Changes since v3:
- remapped the OTP regions to a contiguous area starting at 0. The
chips/cfi_cmdset_000[12].c remap the regions, too.
- with that in place, read/write/lock/erase spanning multiple OTP
regions are possible
- picked up Tudors review remarks
- added new erase support as RFC because MTD API/ABI is still missing.
Feel free to review, but don't apply it.

Changes since v2:
- improved commit messages
- add buffer size check in spi_nor_mtd_otp_info(). just to be sure, the
buffer is hardcoded to 4k by the mtd subsys
- moved all code to otp.c
- dropped the patches introduced in v2

Changes since v1:
- added methods for Macronix and similar flashes
- added patch to cleanup/consolidate code in core.c

Subject: [PATCH v4 1/4] mtd: spi-nor: add OTP support

SPI flashes sometimes have a special OTP area, which can (and is) used to
store immutable properties like board serial number or vendor assigned
network hardware addresses.

The MTD subsystem already supports accessing such areas and some (non
SPI NOR) flashes already implement support for it. It differentiates
between user and factory areas. User areas can be written by the user and
factory ones are pre-programmed and locked down by the vendor, usually
containing an "electrical serial number". This patch will only add support
for the user areas.

Lay the foundation and implement the MTD callbacks for the SPI NOR and add
necessary parameters to the flash_info structure. If a flash supports OTP
it can be added by the convenience macro OTP_INFO(). Sometimes there are
individual regions, which might have individual offsets. Therefore, it is
possible to specify the starting address of the first regions as well as
the distance between two regions (e.g. Winbond devices uses this method).

Additionally, the regions might be locked down. Once locked, no further
write access is possible.

For SPI NOR flashes the OTP area is accessed like the normal memory, e.g.
by offset addressing; except that you either have to use special read/write
commands (Winbond) or you have to enter (and exit) a specific OTP mode
(Macronix, Micron).

Thus we introduce four operations to which the MTD callbacks will be
mapped: .read(), .write(), .lock() and .is_locked(). The read and the write
ops will be given an address offset to operate on while the locking ops use
regions because locking always affects a whole region. It is up to the
flash driver to implement these ops.

With all the helper functions in place, add OTP support for the Winbond

Both were tested on a LS1028A SoC with a NXP FSPI controller.

spi-nor-objs := core.o sfdp.o otp.o

This better indicates that otp is part of the "core" driver, while
the rest are manufacturer drivers (that are too part of the core).

Init this immediately after the setup init, something like:

Please move this as the last init thing in spi_nor_scan, immediately after
spi_nor_init(nor);

MTD OTP ops are not used accross spi_nor_scan(), there's no need to init
these earlier.

Can we move otp_org just before fixups? Fixups are usually the last thing
that we want to specify in a flash info.

I don't like these wrappers because they gratuiously hide what's really there.
I find the code more easier to read without these wrappers, because I don't
have to memorize what these wrappers are doing, and I better see how the code
is organized.

for (i = 0; i < n_regions; i++)

already indicates that i is the index of a region, no need to have an explicit
name. Also, if you want to introduce a local variable, n_regions, use it here
too.

not related to this patch, but the list of arguments is quite big, maybe
we can update mtd to pass a pointer to a struct.

Maybe it's just me, but I don't like the helpers :).
Especially spi_nor_otp_offset_to_region. And spi_nor_otp_region_start()
is used just here. Maybe discard them and s/region/i?

Why WARN_ON and not just a debug message?

Should we have this in otp.c? It can be shared with gigadevice as well
as far as I understood.

TBH I find it easier on the eye and I've never seen so much dereferences

Mh, thas was a left over, from when I had a for_each_ helper. But the
new version just has this one occurence, so I've removed that. I
already felt there was some resistance on these helpers ;)

For external functions, sure. But this is internal so I don't
see any advantage here. Also this is kinda special because its
the argument list of the mtd ops appended with the is_write
parameter.

Ha, I actually had this open coded. But in the end, I wanted to
keep the translation from MTD offsets to OTP offsets in one place.
That is spi_nor_otp_region_to_offset() and
spi_nor_otp_offset_to_region().

I'm not sure what you mean by use i? Here is no for loop.
And regarding the helper, it is used in 4/4 again. So it is
quite handy ;)

Because it really is a programming error, but I don't want to use
BUG_ON(). That is, the developer has either used a OTP_INFO() wrong
or he wants to add a flash which isn't yet supported. I don't see
a reason to "hide" that behind a debug message. It just depends
on the static OTP configuration and can't change at runtime.

It should work in principle for both vendors, but I couldn't test it. So
for now, I've kept it private to winbond.c. If there will be OTP support
for other flashes with the same ops, it should be moved.

It's what I prefer, but it's not a hard requirement. Would you please check
for a second opinion with Vignesh? Inquire about the helpers too. Then do as
you find best.

the dereferences will still be there, but will be just hidden by these wrappers,
don't they? Why would one prefer the wrappers?

That's why I wrote "easier on the eye", yes that is subjective. But
there are also technical aspects, for example, the helpers all
operate on "struct nor*", so you don't have to use the
dereference chain or build up local variables. For example, see
spi_nor_otp_read_write(), it doesn't have to know
anything about the "struct spi_nor_otp_organization".

And of course you could change the actual implementation
without touching the code everywhere,.
