[PATCH] mtd: spi-nor: micron-st: added support for np8p128ax60

Wed Sep 1 04:20:25 PDT 2021

Hi Michael,

I performed the test with drivers/misc/eeprom/at25.c.

I configured the DTS as such:
spi_pcm at 0 {
compatible = "atmel,at25";
reg = <0>;
spi-max-frequency = <50000000>;
size = <16777216>;
pagesize = <64>;
address-width = <24>;
label = "micron_pcm";
};
and activated the driver itself in the kernel configuration.

I think the system is recognizing it:
# ls -l /sys/bus/spi/devices/spi0.0/eeprom
-rw-------    1 root     root      16777216 Jan  1 00:01
/sys/bus/spi/devices/spi0.0/eeprom

However, if I am not wrong (again, please correct me if I am wrong)
this driver does not
work with the MTD layer (I am booting with the following cmdline bootargs:
mtdparts=micron_pcm:128k(bootstrap),128k(fdt),10M(kernel/rootfs),-(spare)
and I expected to have the same partitions as before, but of course
they are missing.)

I am checking the Company ID on the document "JEP106BC", revisioned on
June 2020,
downloaded from here https://www.jedec.org/system/files/docs/JEP106BC.pdf.

STMicroelectronics should be 20
Micron should be 2C
Intel is advertised as 89, in Table 1 "Manufacturer's Identification Code".

How do you suggest to proceed?

Andrea
