Subject: [PATCH 090/203] mtd: add datasheet's ECC information to nand_chip{}
|
|
|
|
1.) Why add the ECC information to the nand_chip{} ?
|
|
Each nand chip has its requirement for the ECC correctability, such as
|
|
"4bit ECC for each 512Byte" or "40bit ECC for each 1024Byte".
|
|
This ECC info is very important to the nand controller, such as gpmi.
|
|
|
|
Take the Micron MT29F64G08CBABA for example, its geometry is
|
|
8KiB page size, 744 bytes oob size and it requires 40bit ECC per 1KiB.
|
|
If we do not provide the ECC info to the gpmi nand driver, it has to
|
|
calculate the ECC correctability itself. The gpmi driver will gets the 56bit
|
|
ECC for per 1KiB which is beyond its BCH's 40bit ecc capibility.
|
|
The gpmi will quits in this case. But in actually, the gpmi can supports
|
|
this nand chip if it can get the right ECC info.
|
|
|
|
2.) about the new fields.
|
|
The @ecc_strength_ds stands for the ecc bits needed within the @ecc_step_ds.
|
|
The two fields should be set from the nand chip's datasheets.
|
|
|
|
For example:
|
|
"4bit ECC for each 512Byte" could be:
|
|
@ecc_strength_ds = 4, @ecc_step_ds = 512.
|
|
"40bit ECC for each 1024Byte" could be:
|
|
@ecc_strength_ds = 40, @ecc_step_ds = 1024.
|
|
|
|
3.) Why do not re-use the @strength and @size in the nand_ecc_ctrl{}?
|
|
The @strength and @size in nand_ecc_ctrl{} is used by the nand controller
|
|
driver, while the @ecc_strength_ds and @ecc_step_ds are get from the datasheet.
