commit d5d27fd9826b59979b184ec288e4812abac0e988 upstream.

Disable BCH soft reset according to MX23 erratum #2847 ("BCH soft
reset may cause bus master lock up") for MX28 too. It has the same
problem.

Observed problem: once per 100,000+ MX28 reboots NAND read failed on
DMA timeout errors:
[    1.770823] UBI: attaching mtd3 to ubi0
[    2.768088] gpmi_nand: DMA timeout, last DMA :1
[    3.958087] gpmi_nand: BCH timeout, last DMA :1
[    4.156033] gpmi_nand: Error in ECC-based read: -110
[    4.161136] UBI warning: ubi_io_read: error -110 while reading 64
bytes from PEB 0:0, read only 0 bytes, retry
[    4.171283] step 1 error
[    4.173846] gpmi_nand: Chip: 0, Error -1

Without BCH soft reset we successfully executed 1,000,000 MX28 reboots.

I have a quote from NXP regarding this problem, from July 18th 2016:

"As the i.MX23 and i.MX28 are of the same generation, they share many
characteristics. Unfortunately, also the erratas may be shared.
In case of the documented erratas and the workarounds, you can also
apply the workaround solution of one device on the other one. This have
been reported, but I’m afraid that there are not an estimated date for
updating the Errata documents.
Please accept our apologies for any inconveniences this may cause."

commit 3f77f244d8ec28e3a0a81240ffac7d626390060c upstream.

The v21 version of the NAND flash controller contains a Spare Area Size
Register (SPAS) at offset 0x10. Its setting defaults to the maximum
spare area size of 218 bytes. The size that is set in this register is
used by the controller when it calculates the ECC bytes internally in
hardware.

Usually, this register is updated from settings in the IIM fuses when
the system is booting from NAND flash. For other boot media, however,
the SPAS register remains at the default setting, which may not work for
the particular flash chip on the board. The same goes for flash chips
whose configuration cannot be set in the IIM fuses (e.g. chips with 2k
sector size and 128 bytes spare area size can't be configured in the IIM
fuses on imx25 systems).

Set the SPAS register explicitly during the preset operation. Derive the
register value from mtd-&gt;oobsize that was detected during probe by
decoding the flash chip's ID bytes.

While at it, rename the define for the spare area register's offset to
NFC_V21_RSLTSPARE_AREA. The register at offset 0x10 on v1 controllers is
different from the register on v21 controllers.

[ Upstream commit df467899da0b71465760b4e35127bce837244eee ]

Some drivers (like nand_hynix.c) call -&gt;cmdfunc() with NAND_CMD_NONE
and a column address and expect the controller to only send address
cycles. Right now, the default -&gt;cmdfunc() implementations provided by
the core do not filter out the command cycle in this case and forwards
the request to the controller driver through the -&gt;cmd_ctrl() method.
The thing is, NAND controller drivers can get this wrong and send a
command cycle with a NAND_CMD_NONE opcode and since NAND_CMD_NONE is
-1, and the command field is usually casted to an u8, we end up sending
the 0xFF command which is actually a RESET operation.

Add conditions in nand_command[_lp]() functions to sending the initial
command cycle when command == NAND_CMD_NONE.

[ Upstream commit fdf2e821052958a114618a95ab18a300d0b080cb ]

When erased subpages are read then the BCH decoder returns STATUS_ERASED
if they are all empty, or STATUS_UNCORRECTABLE if there are bitflips.
When there are bitflips, we have to set these bits again to show the
upper layers a completely erased page. When a bitflip happens in the
exact byte where the bad block marker is, then this byte is swapped
with another byte in block_mark_swapping(). The correction code then
detects a bitflip in another subpage and no longer corrects the bitflip
where it really happens.

Correct this behaviour by calling block_mark_swapping() after the
bitflips have been corrected.

In our case UBIFS failed with this bug because it expects erased
pages to be really empty:

UBIFS error (pid 187): ubifs_scan: corrupt empty space at LEB 36:118735
UBIFS error (pid 187): ubifs_scanned_corruption: corruption at LEB 36:118735

commit 87e89ce8d0d14f573c068c61bec2117751fb5103 upstream.

Starting from commit 041e4575f034 ("mtd: nand: handle ECC errors in
OOB"), nand_do_read_oob() (from the NAND core) did return 0 or a
negative error, and the MTD layer expected it.

However, the trend for the NAND layer is now to return an error or a
positive number of bitflips. Deciding which status to return to the user
belongs to the MTD layer.

Commit e47f68587b82 ("mtd: check for max_bitflips in mtd_read_oob()")
brought this logic to the mtd_read_oob() function while the return value
coming from nand_do_read_oob() (called by the -&gt;_read_oob() hook) was
left unchanged.

When mtdoops calls mtd_panic_write(), it eventually calls
panic_nand_write() in nand_base.c. In order to properly wait for the
nand chip to be ready in panic_nand_wait(), the chip must first be
selected.

When using the atmel nand flash controller, a panic would occur due to
a NULL pointer exception.

[ Upstream commit f6d7c1b5598b6407c3f1da795dd54acf99c1990c ]

This fixes subpage writes when using 4-bit HW ECC.

There has been numerous reports about ECC errors with devices using this
driver for a while.  Also the 4-bit ECC has been reported as broken with
subpages in [1] and with 16 bits NANDs in the driver and in mach* board
files both in mainline and in the vendor BSPs.

What I saw with 4-bit ECC on a 16bits NAND (on an LCDK) which got me to
try reinitializing the ECC engine:
- R/W on whole pages properly generates/checks RS code
- try writing the 1st subpage only of a blank page, the subpage is well
  written and the RS code properly generated, re-reading the same page
  the HW detects some ECC error, reading the same page again no ECC
  error is detected

Note that the ECC engine is already reinitialized in the 1-bit case.

Tested on my LCDK with UBI+UBIFS using subpages.
This could potentially get rid of the issue workarounded in [1].

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 144f4c98399e2c0ca60eb414c15a2c68125c18b8 ]

nand_do_write_ops() determines if it is writing a partial page with the
formula:
	part_pagewr = (column || writelen &lt; (mtd-&gt;writesize - 1))

When 'writelen' is exactly 1 byte less than the NAND page size the formula
equates to zero, so the code doesn't process it as a partial write,
although it should.
As a consequence the function remains in the while(1) loop with 'writelen'
becoming 0xffffffff and iterating endlessly.

The bug may not be easy to reproduce in Linux since user space tools
usually force the padding or round-up the write size to a page-size
multiple.
This was discovered in U-Boot where the issue can be reproduced by
writing any size that is 1 byte less than a page-size multiple.
For example, on a NAND with 2K page (0x800):
	=&gt; nand erase.part &lt;partition&gt;
	=&gt; nand write $loadaddr &lt;partition&gt; 7ff

[Editor's note: the bug was added in commit 29072b96078f, but moved
around in commit 66507c7bc8895 ("mtd: nand: Add support to use nand_base

[ Upstream commit 8dad0386b97c4bd6edd56752ca7f2e735fe5beb4 ]

The NDDB register holds the data that are needed by the read and write
commands.

However, during a read PIO access, the datasheet specifies that after each 32
bytes read in that register, when BCH is enabled, we have to make sure that the
RDDREQ bit is set in the NDSR register.

This fixes an issue that was seen on the Armada 385, and presumably other mvebu
SoCs, when a read on a newly erased page would end up in the driver reporting a
timeout from the NAND.
