BTW, you should also set the NAND_BUSWIDTH_16 flag in this case.

Hm, last time I thought about this usage I found others things that
could cause problems, but I can't remember exactly what.

Anyway, if this feature is already used, let's keep it.

This is not the case.

Yes, it is.

(I have never used this controller like that.
But, I am pretty sure it is
from the code and the
Denali's User Guide mentions such usage.)


Just in case, I will clearly rephrase the comment block like follows in v2:

/*
 * Support for multi device:
 * When the IP configuration is x16 capable and two x8 chips are
 * connected in parallel, DEVICES_CONNECTED should be set to 2.
 * In this case, the core framework knows nothing about this fact,
 * so we should tell it the _logical_ pagesize and anything necessary.
 */

As you expect, if one block is bad,
the correspond block on the other chip can not be used.

Can you tell me more about this multi-NAND feature?
The core is already able to detect multi-die NAND chips in a generic
way, but I fear this is something else, like "put two 8-bits chips on a
16bits bus to emulate a single 16bits chip".
If that's a case, and this feature is actually used, then it's a bad
idea IMHO.
For example, how do you handle the case where one block is bad on a
chip but not on the other? And I fear this is not the only problem
with this approach :-/.

[PATCH 28/39] mtd: nand: denali: move multi NAND fixup code to a helper function

2016-11-26 Thread Masahiro Yamada
Collect multi NAND fixups into a helper function instead of
scattering them in denali_init().
