[U-Boot] [PATCH v2 1/2] mtd: nand: Introduce CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BUSWIDTH_16BIT

Introduce CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BUSWIDTH_16BIT option so that other NAND controller drivers could use it when a 16-bit NAND is deployed.
drivers/mtd/nand/ndfc has CONFIG_SYS_NDFC_16BIT, so just rename it, so that other NAND drivers could reuse the same symbol.

Currently is_16bit_nand() is a per SoC function and it decides the bus nand width by reading some boot related registers.
This method works when NAND is the boot medium, but does not work if another boot medium is used. For example: booting from a SD card and then using NAND to store the environment variables, would lead to the following error:
NAND bus width 16 instead 8 bit No NAND device found!!! 0 MiB
Use CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BUSWIDTH_16BIT symbol to decide the bus width.
If it is defined in the board file, then consider 16-bit NAND bus-width, otherwise assume 8-bit NAND is used.
This also aligns with Documentation/devicetree/bindings/mtd/nand.txt, which states:
nand-bus-width : 8 or 16 bus width if not present 82

That's correct.
is_16bit_nand() is only used to conditionally set NAND_BUSWIDTH_16 in this->options, then this flag is tested everywhere else, so we could also completely drop is_16bit_nand() and just do: #ifdef CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BUSWIDTH_16BIT this->options |= NAND_BUSWIDTH_16; #endif
What do you think is better? I'm fine with your implementation.
Should I rebase my series on that, keeping both series separate, or should I integrate these 2 patches as is at the beginning of my series?
Best regards, Benoît

Yes, this could be done.

My main goal with this patch series was to fix a bug, and I think I can do as you suggest, and get rid of is_16bit_nand() in a future patch.

I would say that you could send this series as is at the beginning of your next version in order to avoid conflicts.

are you sure that your patch won't break current boards booting on nand flash (and so which can use the current functions to detect the nand width) ?

This code is not used for NAND boot, for which the SPL version of this driver and CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BUSWIDTH_16 are used.

I didn't follow SPL migration (I have to come back to it so the next question may be stupid sorry in advance) but once u-boot is running isn't it using the "standard" driver and no more the SPL one ?

Yes, that's correct (unless you need to access NAND only from SPL). But if any board booting from NAND had a 16-bit NAND, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BUSWIDTH_16 would have to be defined, which no board does, so none of these boards needs CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BUSWIDTH_16BIT either. And the rest of the explanation is what Fabio has just said.

If a board is booting from NAND, then it is required that the boot jumpers are correctly set to specify NAND boot mode and the NAND type (8-bit versus 16-bit width, for example).
I revisited all the i.mx boards that use MXC_NAND driver and could not see anyone using 16-bit NAND (ie, no 16-bit NAND IOMUX setting), so it is safe to assume that all the current boards are using 8-bit width NAND.
If a board has 16-bit width NAND, then the boot jumpers need to reflect that and CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BUSWIDTH_16BIT must be specified in the config file.
So I don't envision any breakage here.

Fabio Estevam
