Brian Norris ddba7c5ad7 mtd: m25p80: remove M25PXX_USE_FAST_READ Kconfig
Remove the compile-time option for FAST_READ, since we have run-time
support for detecting it. This refactors the logic for enabling
fast-read, such that for DT-enabled devices, we honor the
"m25p,fast-read" property but for non-DT devices, we default to using
FAST_READ whenever the flash device supports it.

Normal READ and FAST_READ differ only in the following:

  * FAST_READ supports SPI higher clock frequencies [1]

  * number of dummy cycles; FAST_READ requires 8 dummy cycles (whereas
    READ requires 0) to allow the flash sufficient setup time, even when
    running at higher clock speeds

Thus, for flash chips which support FAST_READ, there is otherwise no
limiting reason why we cannot use the FAST_READ opcode instead of READ.
It simply allows the SPI controller to run at higher clock rates. So
theoretically, nobody should be needing the compile-time option anyway.

  [1] I have a Spansion S25FL128S datasheet which says:

    "The maximum operating clock frequency for the READ command is 50
    MHz."

  And:

    "The maximum operating clock frequency for FAST READ command is 133
    MHz."

Artem Bityutskiy 660685d9d1 mtd: merge mtdchar module with mtdcore
The MTD subsystem has historically tried to be as configurable as possible. The
side-effect of this is that its configuration menu is rather large, and we are
gradually shrinking it. For example, we recently merged partitions support with
the mtdcore.

This patch does the next step - it merges the mtdchar module to mtdcore. And in
this case this is not only about eliminating too fine-grained separation and
simplifying the configuration menu. This is also about eliminating seemingly
useless kernel module.

Indeed, mtdchar is a module that allows user-space making use of MTD devices
via /dev/mtd* character devices. If users do not enable it, they simply cannot
use MTD devices at all. They cannot read or write the flash contents. Is it a
sane and useful setup? I believe not. And everyone just enables mtdchar.

Having mtdchar separate is also a little bit harmful. People sometimes miss the
fact that they need to enable an additional configuration option to have
user-space MTD interfaces, and then they wonder why on earth the kernel does
not allow using the flash? They spend time asking around.

Thus, let's just get rid of this module and make it part of mtd core.

Note, mtdchar had additional configuration option to enable OTP interfaces,
which are present on some flashes. I removed that option as well - it saves a
really tiny amount space.

[dwmw2: Strictly speaking, you can mount file systems on MTD devices just
        fine without the mtdchar (or mtdblock) devices; you just can't do
        other manipulations directly on the underlying device. But still I
        agree that it makes sense to make this unconditional. And Yay! we
        get to kill off an instance of checking CONFIG_foo_MODULE, which is
        an abomination that should never happen.]

 There are two major series here, both of which touch lots of drivers all
 over the kernel, and will cause you some merge conflicts:
   - add a new function called devm_ioremap_resource() to properly be
     able to check return values.
   - remove CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL
 
 If you need me to provide a merged tree to handle these resolutions,
 please let me know.
 
 Other than those patches, there's not much here, some minor fixes and

Paul Bolle 6be55f79a2 mtd: clean up usage of MTD_DOCPROBE_ADDRESS
Depending on whether MTD_DOCPROBE_ADVANCED is set or not,
MTD_DOCPROBE_ADDRESS will default to either 0x0000 or 0. That should
lead to (basically) identical code in docprobe.c. The current two
defaults should be merged.

And, while we're at it, if MTD_DOCPROBE is set MTD_DOCPROBE_ADDRESS will
always be set. (MTD_DOCPROBE_ADDRESS depends on MTD_DOCPROBE and it has
a default value.) So the check whether CONFIG_MTD_DOCPROBE_ADDRESS is

This adds a WRITE_VERIFY Kconfig option to the DataFlash driver,
closely mirroring the similar NAND and ONENAND options, giving
an option to disable some code that's currently always enabled.

Removing this step probably saves a millisecond or so per page
when writing data, which will add up quickly since these pages
are small (the largest is 1 KiB).  It doesn't seem to add a
lot in terms of reliability, and wouldn't detect errors which

and requires a controller driver that won't be merged upstream

David Brownell fa0a8c71f3 [MTD] m25p80 handles more chips, uses JEDEC ids and small eraseblocks
Update chip ID tables in m25p80 to handle more SPI flash chips, matching
datasheets.  All of these can use the same core operations and are newer
chips that support the JEDEC "read id" instruction:

 - Atmel AT25 and AT26 (seven chips)
 - Spansion S25SL (five chips)
 - SST 25VF (four chips)
 - ST M25, M45 (five more chips)
 - Winbond W25X series (seven chips)

That JEDEC instruction is now used, either to support a sanity check on the
platform data holding board configuration data, or to determine chip type
when it's not included in platform data.  In fact, boards that don't need a
standard partition table may not need that platform data any more.

For chips that support 4KiB erase units, use that smaller block size instead
of the larger size (usually 64KiB); it's less wasteful.  (Tested on W25X80.)

David Howells 9361401eb7 [PATCH] BLOCK: Make it possible to disable the block layer [try #6]
Make it possible to disable the block layer.  Not all embedded devices require
it, some can make do with just JFFS2, NFS, ramfs, etc - none of which require
the block layer to be present.

This patch does the following:

 (*) Introduces CONFIG_BLOCK to disable the block layer, buffering and blockdev
     support.

 (*) Adds dependencies on CONFIG_BLOCK to any configuration item that controls
     an item that uses the block layer.  This includes:

     (*) Block I/O tracing.

     (*) Disk partition code.

     (*) All filesystems that are block based, eg: Ext3, ReiserFS, ISOFS.

     (*) The SCSI layer.  As far as I can tell, even SCSI chardevs use the
     	 block layer to do scheduling.  Some drivers that use SCSI facilities -
     	 such as USB storage - end up disabled indirectly from this.

     (*) Various block-based device drivers, such as IDE and the old CDROM
     	 drivers.

     (*) MTD blockdev handling and FTL.

     (*) JFFS - which uses set_bdev_super(), something it could avoid doing by
     	 taking a leaf out of JFFS2's book.

 (*) Makes most of the contents of linux/blkdev.h, linux/buffer_head.h and
     linux/elevator.h contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK being set.  sector_div() is,
     however, still used in places, and so is still available.

 (*) Also made contingent are the contents of linux/mpage.h, linux/genhd.h and
     parts of linux/fs.h.

 (*) Makes a number of files in fs/ contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.

 (*) Makes mm/bounce.c (bounce buffering) contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.

 (*) set_page_dirty() doesn't call __set_page_dirty_buffers() if CONFIG_BLOCK
     is not enabled.

 (*) fs/no-block.c is created to hold out-of-line stubs and things that are
     required when CONFIG_BLOCK is not set:

     (*) Default blockdev file operations (to give error ENODEV on opening).

 (*) Makes some /proc changes:

     (*) /proc/devices does not list any blockdevs.

     (*) /proc/diskstats and /proc/partitions are contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.

 (*) Makes some compat ioctl handling contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.

 (*) If CONFIG_BLOCK is not defined, makes sys_quotactl() return -ENODEV if
     given command other than Q_SYNC or if a special device is specified.

 (*) In init/do_mounts.c, no reference is made to the blockdev routines if
     CONFIG_BLOCK is not defined.  This does not prohibit NFS roots or JFFS2.

 (*) The bdflush, ioprio_set and ioprio_get syscalls can now be absent (return
     error ENOSYS by way of cond_syscall if so).

 (*) The seclvl_bd_claim() and seclvl_bd_release() security calls do nothing if
     CONFIG_BLOCK is not set, since they can't then happen.

Martin Michlmayr be21ce1197 Re-add module description for ms02-nv to Kconfig
In an unrelated MTD commit, a description about the ms02-nv module
got removed from Kconfig.  While I personally agree with this
removal, the module maintainer (Maciej W. Rozycki) would like to
see it added back.  In the absense of any consistency regarding
Kconfig descriptions his wish should be followed.

Joern Engel acc8dadc0b [PATCH] Remove blkmtd
Remove the blkmtd driver.

- An alternative exists (block2mtd) that hasn't had  bug report for > 1 year.

- Most embedded people tend to use ancient kernels with custom patches from
  mtd cvs and elsewhere, so the 1 year warning period neither helps nor hurts
  them too much.

- It's in the way of klibc.  The problems caused by pulling blkmtd support
  are fairly low, while the problems caused by delaying klibc can be fairly
  substantial.  At best, this would be a severe burden on hpa's time.

Mike Lavender 2f9f762879 [PATCH] spi: M25 series SPI flash
This was originally a driver for the ST M25P80 SPI flash.  It's been
updated slightly to handle other M25P series chips.

For many of these chips, the specific type could be probed, but for now
this just requires static setup with flash_platform_data that lists the
chip type (size, format) and any default partitioning to use.

David Brownell 1d6432fe10 [PATCH] spi: mtd dataflash driver
This is a conversion of the AT91rm9200 DataFlash MTD driver to use the
lightweight SPI framework, and no longer be AT91-specific.  It compiles
down to less than 3KBytes on ARM.

The driver allows board-specific init code to provide platform_data with
the relevant MTD partitioning information, and hotplugs.

This version has been lightly tested.  Its parent at91_dataflash driver has
been pretty well banged on, although kernel.org JFFS2 dataflash support was
acting broken the last time I tried it.

Linus Torvalds 1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
