1.) Why add a new framework for SPI NOR?
The SPI-NOR controller such as Freescale's Quadspi controller is working
in a different way from the SPI bus. It should knows the NOR commands to
find the right LUT sequence. Unfortunately, the current code can not meet
this requirement.
2.) How does this patch set do?
This patch set adds a new spi-nor layer.
Before this patch, the layer is like:
MTD
------------------------
m25p80
------------------------
spi bus driver
------------------------
SPI NOR chip
After this patch, the layer is like:
MTD
------------------------
spi-nor
------------------------
m25p80
------------------------
spi bus driver
------------------------
SPI NOR chip
With the spi-nor controller driver(Freescale Quadspi), it looks like:
MTD
------------------------
spi-nor
------------------------
fsl-quadspi
------------------------
SPI NOR chip
3.) more details
This patch set adds a new data structrue spi_nor{}, clones most the common
code to spi-nor.c. Add spi_nor_xfer_cfg {} for the fundamental primitives:
read_xfer/write_xfer.
Make the m25p80.c use the new APIs.
Let's discuss the SPI nor framework in the new thread. :)
4.) TODO list:
3.1) add the new spi_nor_device{} for the spi-nor controller's device.
3.2) add the Freescale Quadspi driver.
v1 --> v2:
[1] follow Angus's advice, add more hooks and data structrures.
[2] others.
