+Marvell NAND Flash Controller (NFC)
+
+Required properties:
+C'est faux, t'en a rajouté un y a pas longtps :).
+Je conseille de mettre ça sous forme de liste, genre
+
+- compatible: can be one of the following:
+ * "marvell,armada-8k-nand-controller"
+ * "marvell,armada370-nand-controller"
+ * "marvell,pxa3xx-nand-controller"
+ * "marvell,armada-8k-nand" (deprecated)
+ * "marvell,armada370-nand" (deprecated)
+ * "marvell,pxa3xx-nand" (deprecated)
+- reg: shall contain registers location and length for data and reg.
+- #address-cells: shall be set to 1. Encode the nand CS.
+- #size-cells: shall be set to 0.
+- interrupts: shall define the nand controller interrupt.
+- clocks: shall reference nand controller clocks.
+- marvell,system-controller: Set to retrieve the syscon node that handles
+ NAND controller related registers (only required with the
+ "marvell,armada-8k-nand[-controller]" compatibles).
+
+Optional properties:
+- dmas: shall reference DMA channel associated to the NAND controller.
+- dma-names: shall be "rxtx".
+
+Optional children nodes:
+Children nodes represent the available NAND chips.
+
+Required properties:
+- reg: shall contain the native Chip Select ids (0-3)
+- marvell,rb: shall contain the native Ready/Busy ids (0-1)
+
+Optional properties:
+- marvell,nand-keep-config: orders the driver not to take the timings
+ from the core and leaving them completely untouched. Bootloader
+ timings will then be used.
+- marvell,nand-enable-arbiter: only useful for PXA platforms, will
+ enable bus arbiter between NFC and DFI bus (must be enabled for
+ NFC operation)
+- nand-on-flash-bbt: speed up the boot process by not discovering all
+ the bad blocks at each boot and reading directly an on flash table.
+- nand-ecc-mode: one of the supported ECC modes ("none", "soft",
+ "hw"). If not specified, hardware ECC will be used.
+- nand-ecc-algo: algorithm to use if previous choice was "soft"
+ ("hamming" or "bch). This property may be added for hardware ECC for
+ clarification but will be ignored by the driver because ECC mode is
+ chosen depending on the page size and the strength required by the
+ NAND chip. This value may be overwritten with the nand-ecc-strength
+ property.
+- nand-ecc-strength: desired ECC strength.
+- nand-ecc-step-size: indication on the ECC step size. This has no
+ effect and will be ignored by the driver when using hardware
+ ECC. Because Marvell's NAND flash controller does use fixed strength
+ (1-bit for Hamming, 16-bit for BCH), the step size will shrink or
+ grown in order to fit the required strength and the value
+ updated. Step sizes are not completely random for all and follow
+ certain patterns described in AN-379, "Marvell SoC NFC ECC".
+
+See Documentation/devicetree/bindings/mtd/nand.txt for more details on
+generic bindings.
+
+
+Example:
+nand_controller: nand-controller at d0000 {
+ compatible = "marvell,armada370-nand-controller";
+ reg = <0xd0000 0x54>;
+ #address-cells = <1>;
+ #size-cells = <0>;
+ interrupts = <GIC_SPI 84 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>;
+ clocks = <&coredivclk 0>;
+ status = "okay";
+
+ nand at 0 {
+ reg = <0>;
+ marvell,rb = <0>;
+ nand-ecc-mode = "hw";
+ marvell,nand-keep-config;
+ marvell,nand-enable-arbiter;
+ nand-on-flash-bbt;
+ nand-ecc-strength = <4>;
+ nand-ecc-step-size = <512>;
+
+ partitions {
+ compatible = "fixed-partitions";
+ #address-cells = <1>;
+ #size-cells = <1>;
+
+ partition at 0 {
+ label = "Rootfs";
+ reg = <0x00000000 0x40000000>;
+ };
+ };
+ };
+};
