[PATCH v7 16/18] mtd: spinand: negotiate optimal controller operating point before dirmap creation

Tue Aug 11 11:33:11 PDT 2026


Add spinand_optimize_controller() which calls spi_mem_execute_tuning()
to negotiate the best operating point for the SPI NAND device before
creating dirmaps. The validated max_freq is then embedded into the
dirmap op templates so the controller uses the optimised frequency for
all subsequent page I/O.

The function tries the pre-selected op variant first. If the controller
signals that optimisation is not applicable for that specific op
(ret == 0 with max_freq still zero), spinand_try_ranked_variant()
iterates the remaining variants in descending performance order. For
devices supporting both ODTR and SSDR interfaces, ODTR variants are
tried first; if all ODTR variants fail, the bus is switched to SSDR and
SSDR variants are tried. On full failure the device reverts to ODTR
non-optimised mode.

Add spinand_reset_max_freq_ops() to copy op templates with max_freq
zeroed before each execute_tuning call, enforcing the invariant that a
non-zero max_freq only results from a successful operation.

Optimisation failure is never fatal; the device operates at the
conservative base rate.

When optimisation permanently selects SSDR (either because a ranked SSDR
variant succeeds or because reverting to ODTR after exhausting all
variants fails), clear the odtr_op_templates pointers. This prevents
spinand_configure_chip() on resume from re-entering ODTR mode with
dirmaps that were built for SSDR, which would cause data corruption.
Reusing the existing NULL-check mechanism avoids the need for a separate
flag and is consistent with how spinand_configure_chip() itself handles
ODTR configure_chip() failure.

Move spinand_create_dirmaps() from spinand_init() to spinand_probe() so
the validated frequency is available at dirmap construction time.
