Change subject: linux_mtd: Initial import
......................................................................
linux_mtd: Initial import
This imports a series of patches from chromiumos for MTD support.
The patches are squashed to ease review and original Change-Ids have
been removed to avoid confusing Gerrit.
There are a few changes to integrate the code:
- Conflict resolution
- Makefile changes
- Remove file library usage from linux_mtd. We may revisit this and use
it for other Linux interfaces later on.
This consolidated patch is

linux_mtd: Support for NO_ERASE type devices
Some mtd devices have the MTD_NO_ERASE flag set. This means
these devices don't require an erase to write and might not have
implemented an erase function. We should be conservative and skip
erasing altogether, falling back to performing writes over the whole
flash.

linux_mtd: do reads in eraseblock-sized chunks
It's probably not the best idea to try to do an 8MB read in one syscall.
Theoretically, this should work; but MTD just relies on the SPI driver
to deliver the whole read in one transfer, and many SPI drivers haven't
been tested well with large transfer sizes.
I'd consider this a workaround, but it's still good to have IMO.

This is the 6th commit message:
linux_mtd: make read/write loop chunks consistent, and documented
Theoretically, there should be no maximum size for the read() and
write() syscalls on an MTD (well, except for the size of the entire
device). But practical concerns (i.e., bugs) have meant we don't quite
do this.
For reads:
Bug https://b/35573113 shows that some SPI-based MTD drivers don't yet
handle very large transactions. So we artificially limit this to
block-sized chunks.
For writes:
It's not clear there is a hard limit. Some drivers will already split
large writes into smaller chunks automatically. Others don't do any
splitting. At any rate, using *small* chunks can actually be a problem
for some devices (b:35104688), as they get worse performance (doing an
internal read/modify/write). This could be fixed in other ways by
advertizing their true "write chunk size" to user space somehow, but
this isn't so easy.
As a simpler fix, we can just increase the loop increment to match the
read loop. Per David, the original implementation (looping over page
chunks) was just being paranoid.
So this patch:
* clarifies comments in linux_mtd_read(), to note that the chunking is
somewhat of a hack that ideally can be fixed (with bug reference)
* simplifies the linux_mtd_write() looping to match the structure in
linux_mtd_read(), including dropping several unnecessary seeks, and
correcting the error messages (they referred to "reads" and had the
wrong parameters)
* change linux_mtd_write() to align its chunks to eraseblocks, not page
sizes
Note that the "->page_size" parameter is still somewhat ill-defined, and
only set by the upper layers for "opaque" flash. And it's not actually
used in this driver now. If we could figure out what we really want to
use it for, then we could try to set it appropriately.

digilent_spi: add a driver for the iCEblink40 development board
This is driver that supports the Lattice iCE40 evaluation kits. On the
board is a SPI flash memory chip labeled ST 25P10VP.
Tested to work read/write/erase with "-p digilent_spi -c M25P10" or
with a patch that resets the part beforehands (in which case it gets
detected as a M25P10-A and is way faster due to paged writes).

There was a pull request for a similar patch at https://github.com/flashrom/flashrom/pull/36. I pointed one of the commenters at the OpenEmbedded patch and they reported that the OE version of the patch works.
Also, I noticed that support for this chip series seems to have originated here: https://patchwork.coreboot.org/patch/4126/
I went ahead and uploaded the latest known (AFAICT) version here: https://review.coreboot.org/#/c/flashrom/+/25962/

For what it's worth, there seems to be a more complete version of this patch here: http://cgit.openembedded.org/meta-openembedded/tree/meta-oe/recipes-bsp/fla…
Should abandon this and import the openembedded one instead?
