[U-Boot] [PATCH] Add support for boards where the NOR FLASH is not memory-mapped

This patch adds the CONFIG_FLASH_NOT_MEM_MAPPED define which can be used on boards where the NOR FLASH is not memory-mapped and special accessor functions are needed to access the NOR FLASH. This affects the memory commands (cmd_mem.c) and the environment (env_flash.c).
Boards using CONFIG_FLASH_NOT_MEM_MAPPED need to additionally specify CONFIG_FLASH_BASE and CONFIG_FLASH_END so that the NOR FLASH region can be detected.
This will be used by the upcoming VCTH board support.

Dear Stefan Roese,

You have to document this (at least in the README).
But there is a general problem with this approach: U-Boot is based on the design that the actual flash size is auto-detected, i. e. it is always assumed to be unknown at compile time. Therefore it is impossible to set something like CONFIG_FLASH_END at compile time.

This is really, really ugly - and error prone, as you must be extremely careful which of the functions you may call might use memcpy() or similar internally.
You know that I know of the specific problems of this hardware, but anyway - I really dislike having to add such code.

No, I missed it. I'll send an updated patch later this week.
But there is a general problem with this approach: U-Boot is based on the design that the actual flash size is auto-detected, i. e. it is always assumed to be unknown at compile time. Therefore it is impossible to set something like CONFIG_FLASH_END at compile time.
Yes, this approach is not optimal but I found no other way to work with the CFI driver and especially the environment in NOR without such an "extension". But CONFIG_FLASH_END doesn't have point to the real end of the NOR FLASH but the highest possible address. So auto-detection should still be possible in such an area. Here an example from the VCTH board port:
/* * For the non-memory-mapped NOR FLASH, we need to define the * NOR FLASH area. This can't be detected via the addr2info() * function, since we check for flash access in the very early * U-Boot code, before the NOR FLASH is detected. */ #define CONFIG_FLASH_BASE 0xb0000000 #define CONFIG_FLASH_END 0xbfffffff
So the FLASH size could be a maximum of 256MB in this case. Not optimal but at least not totally fixed.
+#if defined(CONFIG_FLASH_NOT_MEM_MAPPED)
- if (((u32)addr >= CONFIG_FLASH_BASE) && ((u32)addr < CONFIG_FLASH_END))
And this looks as if CONFIG_FLASH_END was not the "FLASH_END" address, i. e. the last address in flash, but "FLASH_END" + 1 ?
Good catch. I'll fix this to "((u32)addr <= CONFIG_FLASH_END).

Yes, we agree that this is not a "nice" solution. But this is the best I could come up after several approaches. I'm open to better suggestions.

OK, will do in the next version.
