[PATCH v3 3/5] mtd: spi-nor: micron-st: enable die erase for multi die flashes

Sat Nov 25 04:35:27 PST 2023


Enable die erase for multi die flashes, it will speed the erase time.

Unfortunately, Micron does not provide a 4-byte opcode equivalent for
the die erase. The SFDP 4BAIT table fails to consider the die erase too,
the standard can be improved. Thus we're forced to enter in the 4 byte
address mode in order to benefit of the die erase.

Tested on n25q00. This flash defines the 4BAIT SFDP table, thus it will
use the 4BAIT opcodes for reads, page programs or erases, with the
exception that it will use the die erase command in the 4 byte address
mode.

Tested on sama5d2_xplained using the "atmel,sama5d2-qspi" spi controller
and by operating the flash at 80MHz.
