<content type='text'>
commit 2394e628738933aa014093d93093030f6232946d upstream.

Erasing an AMD linear flash card (AM29F016D) crashes after the first
sector has been erased. Likewise, writing to it crashes after two bytes
have been written. The reason is a missing check for a null pointer -
the cmdset_priv field is not set for this type of card.

The write buffer comes from user and should be const.
Constify write buffer in mtd core and across all _write_user_prot_reg()
users. cfi_cmdset_{0001, 0002} and onenand_base will pay the cost of an
explicit cast to discard the const qualifier since the beginning, since
they are using an otp_op_t function prototype that is used for both reads
and writes. mtd_dataflash and SPI NOR will benefit of the const buffer
because they are using different paths for writes and reads.

The variable timeo is being initialized with a value that is never read
and it is being updated later with a new value.  The initialization is
redundant and can be removed.

<content type='text'>
Buffer writes do not work with AMD chip 0x2201. The chip in question
is a AMD/Spansion/Cypress Semiconductor S29GL256N and datasheet [1]
talks about writing buffers being possible. While waiting for a neater
solution resort to writing word-sized chunks only.

Without the patch kernel logs will be flooded with entries like below:

jffs2_scan_eraseblock(): End of filesystem marker found at 0x0
jffs2_build_filesystem(): unlocking the mtd device...
done.
jffs2_build_filesystem(): erasing all blocks after the end marker...

Tested on a Buffalo wzr-hp-g300nh running kernel 5.10.16.

In preparation to enable -Wimplicit-fallthrough for Clang, fix multiple
warnings by explicitly adding multiple break statements and a return
instead of letting the code fall through to the next case.

<title>mtd: Replace HTTP links with HTTPS ones</title>

<id>urn:sha1:c13ac5552546c8971c0a4a3e947e25b0f8786aa9</id>
<content type='text'>
Rationale:
Reduces attack surface on kernel devs opening the links for MITM
as HTTPS traffic is much harder to manipulate.

Deterministic algorithm:
For each file:
  If not .svg:
    For each line:
      If doesn't contain `\bxmlns\b`:
        For each link, `\bhttp://[^# \t\r\n]*(?:\w|/)`:
	  If neither `\bgnu\.org/license`, nor `\bmozilla\.org/MPL\b`:
            If both the HTTP and HTTPS versions
            return 200 OK and serve the same content:
              Replace HTTP with HTTPS.

<id>urn:sha1:b359ed5184aebf9d987e54abc5dae7ac03ed29ae</id>
<content type='text'>
The flash controller implemented by the Arm Base platform behaves like
the Intel StrataFlash J3 device, but omits several features. In
particular it doesn't implement a protection register, so "Number of
Protection register fields" in the Primary Vendor-Specific Extended
Query, is 0.

The Intel StrataFlash J3 datasheet only lists 1 as a valid value for
NumProtectionFields. It describes the field as:

	"Number of Protection register fields in JEDEC ID space.
	“00h,” indicates that 256 protection bytes are available"

While a value of 0 may arguably not be architecturally valid, the
driver's current behavior is certainly wrong: if NumProtectionFields is
0, read_pri_intelext() adds a negative value to the unsigned extra_size,
and ends up in an infinite loop.

Fix it by ignoring a NumProtectionFields of 0.

Use Joe Perches cvt_fallthrough.pl script to convert

	/* fallthrough */

comments (and its derivatives) into a

	fallthrough;

statement. This automatically drops useless ones.

Do it MTD-wide.

<content type='text'>
The commit 4844ef80305d ("mtd: cfi_cmdset_0002: Add support for polling
status register") added checking for the status register error bits into
chip_good() to only return 1 if these bits are 0s.  Unfortunately, this
means that polling using chip_good() always reaches a timeout condition
when erase or program failure bits are set. Let's fully delegate the task
of determining the error conditions to cfi_check_err_status() and make
chip_good() only look for the Device Ready/Busy condition.
