[PATCH v4 0/5] sf: Add documentation and an 'sf mmap' command

This little series adds documentation and a few other tidy-ups to the 'sf' command.
It also provides a way to access memory-mapped SPI via the command line.
Changes in v4: - Split out the 'const' change into a separate patch - Show the 'sf probe' output in the examples
Changes in v3: - Add configuration and return value also
Changes in v2: - Explain why 'usage' cannot be const - Many fixes as suggested by Heinrich
Simon Glass (5): command: Use a constant pointer for the help sf: Use const for the stage name sf: Tidy up code to avoid #ifdef sf: doc: Add documentation for the 'sf' command sf: Provide a command to access memory-mapped SPI

This text should never change during execution, so it makes sense to use a const char * so that it can be declared as const in the code. Update struct cmd_tbl with a const char * pointer for 'help'.
We cannot make usage const because of the bmode command, used on mx53ppd for example.

Nitpick: Trailers shouldn't have a blank line between them. I see it for this patch and 4/5 as well. It probably doesn't matter, but I wonder if it will trip up some tools that work on commit trailers like git-interpret-trailers. Something you might want to fix in your workflow...

The fix to 'patman status -d <new_branch>' is in mainline but was not in the tree where I ran this tool, unfortunately.
So hopefully this won't happen again.

This command is fairly complicated so documentation is useful. Unfortunately I an not sure how the MTD side of things works and cannot find information about that.

This works a sector at a time (typical 4KB or 64KB). For each +sector it first checks if the sector already has the right data. If so it is +skipped. If not, the sector is erased and the new data written. Note that if +the length is not a multiple of the erase size, the space after the data in +the last sector will be erased.

+bus
- SPI bus number containing the SPI-flash chip, e.g. 0. If you don't know
- the number, you can use 'dm uclass' to see all the spi devices,
- and check the value for 'seq' for each one (here 0 and 2)::
I would have expected the 'spi' command to have an info sub-command like the other subsystems. But that is missing.
uclass 89: spi
0 spi@0 @ 05484960, seq 0
1 spi@1 @ 05484b40, seq 2
+cs
- SPI chip-select to use for the chip. This is often 0 and can be omitted,
- but in some cases multiple slaves are attached to a SPI controller,
- selected by a chip-select line for each one.
+hz
- Speed of the SPI bus in hertz. This normally defaults to 100000, i.e.
- 100KHz, which is very slow. Note that if the device exists in the
- device tree, there might be a speed provided there, in which case this
- setting is ignored.
+mode
- SPI mode to use:
- ===== ================
- Mode Meaning
- ===== ================
- 0 CPOL=0, CPHA=0
- 1 CPOL=0, CPHA=1
- 2 CPOL=1, CPHA=0
- 3 CPOL=1, CPHA=1
- ===== ================
- Clock phase (CPHA) 0 means that data is transferred (sampled) on the
- first clock edge; 1 means the second.
- Clock polarity (CPOL) controls the idle state of the clock, 0 for low,
- 1 for high.
- The active state is the opposite of idle.
- You may find this `SPI documentation`_ useful.
+Parameters for other subcommands (described below) are as follows:
I would not expect parameters for other sub-commands in chapter "Probe".
Please put all parameters into a separate section "Parameters". This makes navigation easier.
+addr
- Memory address to start transfer
+offset
- Flash offset to start transfer
+partition
- If the parameter is not numeric, it is assumed to be a partition
- description in the format <dev_type><dev_num>,<part_num> which is not
- covered here. This requires CONFIG_CMD_MTDPARTS.
+len
- Number of bytes to transfer
+Read +~~~~
+Use *sf read* to read from SPI flash to memory. The read will fail if an +attempt is made to read past the end of the flash.
+Write +~~~~~
+Use *sf write* to write from memory to SPI flash. The SPI flash should be +erased first, since otherwise the result is undefined.
+The write will fail if an attempt is made to read past the end of the flash.
+Erase +~~~~~
+Use *sf erase* to erase a region of SPI flash. The erase will fail if any part +of the region to be erased is protected or lies past the end of the flash. It +may also fail if the start offset or length are not aligned to an erase region +(e.g. 256 bytes).
+Update +~~~~~~
+Use *sf update* to automatically erase and update a region of SPI flash from +memory. This works a sector at a time (typical 4KB or 64KB). For each +sector it first checks if the sector already has the right data. If so it is +skipped. If not, the sector is erased and the new data written. Note that if +the length is not a multiple of the erase size, the space after the data in +the last sector will be erased. If the offset does not start at the beginning +of an erase block, the operation will fail.
+Speed statistics are shown including the number of bytes that were already +correct.
+Protect +~~~~~~~
+SPI-flash chips often have a protection feature where the chip is split up into +regions which can be locked or unlocked. With *sf protect* it is possible to +change these settings, if supported by the driver.
+lock|unlock
- Selects whether to lock or unlock the sectors
+<sector>
- Start sector number to lock/unlock. This may be the byte offset or some
- other value, depending on the chip.
+<len>
- Number of bytes to lock/unlock
+Test +~~~~
+A convenient and fast *sf test* subcommand provides a way to check that SPI +flash is working as expected. This works in four stages:
- erase - erases the entire region
- check - checks that the region is erased
- write - writes a test pattern to the region, consisting of the U-Boot code
- read - reads back the test pattern to check that it was written correctly
+Memory is allocated for two buffers, each <len> bytes in size. At typical +size is 64KB to 1MB. The offset and size must be aligned to an erase boundary.
+Note that this test will fail if any part of the SPI flash is write-protected.

+Description +-----------
+The *sf* command is used to access SPI flash, supporting read/write/erase and +a few other functions.
+Probe +-----
+The flash must first be probed with *sf probe* before any of the other +subcommands can be used. All of the parameters are optional:
+bus
SPI bus number containing the SPI-flash chip, e.g. 0. If you don't know
the number, you can use 'dm uclass' to see all the spi devices,
and check the value for 'seq' for each one (here 0 and 2)::

uclass 89: spi
0 spi@0 @ 05484960, seq 0

+cs

but in some cases multiple slaves are attached to a SPI controller,
selected by a chip-select line for each one.
+hz

100KHz, which is very slow. Note that if the device exists in the
device tree, there might be a speed provided there, in which case this

Please put all parameters into a separate section "Parameters". This makes navigation easier.
This series was sent back in April and is now at version 5, after multiple rounds of changes. This version alone sat here for nearly two months. Who will want to write documentation in U-Boot if this is the process?
I don't disagree with most of your comments, just the timing, although the 'spi info' thing is highly debatable, as you cannot memory-map SPI itself, only SPI flash.
The common.h header removal suffered a similar fate and we have never resolved that, now 18 months later.
So please, let's get something in and move forward.

Add a new 'sf mmap' function to show the address of a SPI offset, if the hardware supports it. This is useful on x86 systems.

At least on x86 this is a common feature.
What do you suggest for this? Can you give an example of what arguments might be used?

Why is that? It depends on the size of actual SPI-flash device. It is not a property of the SPI bus, so far as I understand it.

This little series adds documentation and a few other tidy-ups to the 'sf' command.
It also provides a way to access memory-mapped SPI via the command line.
Changes in v4:
- Split out the 'const' change into a separate patch

Changes in v3:
- Add configuration and return value also
Changes in v2:
- Explain why 'usage' cannot be const
