Well, the driver uses that differently even without the patch. See below.

$ git grep -hp 'FIELD_PREP(CW_PER_PAGE_MASK,.*;' drivers/spi/spi-qpic-snand.c
static int qcom_spi_block_erase(struct qcom_nand_controller *snandc)
FIELD_PREP(CW_PER_PAGE_MASK, 0));
This function implements the block erase operation and it corresponds to the
documentation. So far so good.
static int qcom_spi_read_last_cw(struct qcom_nand_controller *snandc,
FIELD_PREP(CW_PER_PAGE_MASK, 0);
static int qcom_spi_read_cw_raw(struct qcom_nand_controller *snandc, u8 *data_buf,
FIELD_PREP(CW_PER_PAGE_MASK, 0);
These two functions are using a single codeword (with zero CW_PER_PAGE value).
So, it seems that in reality the CW_PER_PAGE value means the number of codewords
(minus one) used within a single operation executed. Of course it is possible
that the existing code is wrong here.
static int qcom_spi_read_page_ecc(struct qcom_nand_controller *snandc,
FIELD_PREP(CW_PER_PAGE_MASK, num_cw - 1);
static int qcom_spi_read_page_oob(struct qcom_nand_controller *snandc,
FIELD_PREP(CW_PER_PAGE_MASK, num_cw - 1);
static int qcom_spi_program_raw(struct qcom_nand_controller *snandc,
FIELD_PREP(CW_PER_PAGE_MASK, num_cw - 1);
static int qcom_spi_program_ecc(struct qcom_nand_controller *snandc,
FIELD_PREP(CW_PER_PAGE_MASK, num_cw - 1);
The previous functions are operating on whole pages, so those are using all codewords
within a page thus 'num_cw - 1' is getting set in the register field. This also matches
with the documentation.
static int qcom_spi_program_oob(struct qcom_nand_controller *snandc,
FIELD_PREP(CW_PER_PAGE_MASK, num_cw - 1);
This is the function fixed by the patch. As it is indicated in the commit description
this also uses a single codeword similarly to the qcom_spi_read_(last_cw,cw_raw) functions
described above so the CW_PER_PAGE value should be set to zero.

Gabor
