Support subpage writes using a custom implementation of write_subpage. The driver loads the page into SRAM buffer using NAND_CMD_READ0, when the framework requests the NAND_CMD_SEQIN command. Then, the buffer is updated by the custom write_subpage implementation. Upon write, the controller calculates the hardware ECC across the whole page before programming the page.
This method saves transferring the whole page over the bus to the NFC IP, which would happen when using NAND_NO_SUBPAGE_WRITE.
Signed-off-by: Stefan Agner stefan@agner.ch --- This implements the procedure as discussed on the ML: http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2015-March/209567.html http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2015-March/209671.html
The drivers mxc_nand and mpc5121_nfc implement a similar subpage write.
