Hi Chris,
For this patch set, I would like waiting for kernel sfc driver merge because there may have some update.
Agreed. I just want to get this out there though in case anyone wants to test it. I'm okay with "pausing" the review for this one until the Linux driver is accepted upstream.
On a related note, can you provide some additional docs regarding the BROM and how it interacts with the SFC? I found out through trial and error that it reads off of sector 0x10000 (instead of 0x08000 like the SD Card), and that like the SD card the Arm Trusted Firmware hates DMA reads in TPL/SPL modes. Is there anything else we should know if we want to boot an upstream SPL from it (note that I can already do this with this driver, just wanted to know if there were more "gotchas").
Thank you.
Thanks,

Changes from v3:
- Added "rockchip_sfc_adjust_op_work()" function from proposed Linux driver to fix potential issue on hardware. Note I never noticed this issue while testing, so I cannot test if it fixed any specific issue for me.
- Updated of-compatible string back to "rockchip,sfc" to match what is currently proposed for upstream driver. The hardware itself has multiple versions but a register is present in the hardware that is read by the driver to set version specific functionality.
- Updated px30.dtsi and rk3266-odroid-go2.dts device-trees so that sfc nodes match what is in upstream.
Changes from v2:
- Resending due to glitch with patch file truncating final two lines on patch 1/5 and incorrect patch version number on patch 5/5.
Changes from v1:
- Reworked code to utilize spi-mem framework, and based it closely off of work in progress code for mainline Linux.
- Removed DMA, as it didn't offer much performance benefit for booting (in my test cases), added complexity to the code, and interfered with A-TF.
- Updated the names of the bindings to match the work in progress Linux code.
- Moved alias to u-boot specific device-tree for Odroid Go Advance. Alias is updated with the spi0 node pointing to the SFC to help the sf command as well as facilitate booting from the SFC.
- Note 2 below no longer applies, as rebasing this off of upstream code should allow the device to work for NAND, and by utilizing the spi-mem framework it no longer has to extract the parameters from the dm_spi_ops.xfer.
Known Issues Remaining with this Patch Series:
- I don't know the best way to upstream the XTX25F128B flash chip.
This chip should use a continuation code for the manufacturer ID, however I cannot seem to find any way to actually read the continuation code as one may not be present. There is a risk of this driver, used as-is, to collide with another chip which has the same manufacturer ID with a different continuation code.
Additionally, it might be worth mentioning but I noticed the Rockchip BROM will only boot the TPL/SPL off of the SFC if I write it to address 0x10000. This is not documented and different than the address looked at for SD card booting (512 * 64 = 0x8000 for SD Card booting). Also, like the SD card driver I can confirm that if DMA is enabled at the SPL stage A-TF seems to fail silently, then when Linux loads it hangs. FIFO mode was removed from the driver to simplify it and for this reason.
Tested: Read (works) Write (works) Erase (works) SPL Read (works if you edit the u-boot,spl-boot-order)
