Another iteration of this proposal, although Brian Norris already said
he didn't like the v1. I guess I'm stubborn ;-)
This patch removes the flash device bus-width configuration, prior to
the device detection. With this modification, a NAND driver *shouldn't*
need to set the device width, but can instead obtain the detected
bus-width after the call to nand_scan_ident() and perform any neccessary
action.
As usual, this has been tested on a AM335x board with 8-bit and 16-bit devices,
which were successfully detected and nandtest'ed, using ONFI and flash-based
detection.
Improving from v1, now driver's shouldn't need *any* modification to work in
both 8-bit and 16-bit modes (although I'm only testing the omap2-nand driver).
Brian and others:
I'm no longer talking about removing any property or option :-), but merely
fixing our current incapability of detecting x16 devices by ONFI. I think
we can discuss about the DT property or the future of NAND_BUSWIDTH_AUTO
in another thread.
Probably there's more work needed along the lines of Uwe's patch to
fix other ONFI-related usage.
Changes from v1:
* In addition to setting nand_set_default to x8 for the detection phase,
this commit now clears the NAND_BUSWIDTH_16 flag from chip->options
as it prevented device from getting detected.
* This v2 no longer removes the NAND_BUSWIDTH_AUTO option. We can do that
later after some proper discussion.
