  • This reverts commit 340ea370c2ce89d1c15fbf785460f2f74314ce58.

    It's not needed given the other m25p80 patch (which now handles
    at26 "dataflash" as well as most other standard SPI flash chips),
    and requires a controller driver that won't be merged upstream
    (supplanted by drivers/spi/atmel_spi.c) ... the submitter of
    that at91_dataflash26.c driver concurred.

  • Update chip ID tables in m25p80 to handle more SPI flash chips, matching
    datasheets. All of these can use the same core operations and are newer
    chips that support the JEDEC "read id" instruction:

    - Atmel AT25 and AT26 (seven chips)
    - Spansion S25SL (five chips)
    - SST 25VF (four chips)
    - ST M25, M45 (five more chips)
    - Winbond W25X series (seven chips)

    That JEDEC instruction is now used, either to support a sanity check on the
    platform data holding board configuration data, or to determine chip type
    when it's not included in platform data. In fact, boards that don't need a
    standard partition table may not need that platform data any more.

    For chips that support 4KiB erase units, use that smaller block size instead
    of the larger size (usually 64KiB); it's less wasteful. (Tested on W25X80.)

  • Use menuconfigs instead of menus, so the whole menu can be disabled at once
    instead of going through all options.

  • Add support for AT26Fxxx dataflash devices. These devices have a quite different
    commandset than the AT45xxx chips, which are handled by at91_dataflash.c, so a
    combined driver turned out to be more ugly than useful.

    Tested only on AT26F004.

  • Make it possible to disable the block layer. Not all embedded devices require
    it, some can make do with just JFFS2, NFS, ramfs, etc - none of which require
    the block layer to be present.

    This patch does the following:

    (*) Introduces CONFIG_BLOCK to disable the block layer, buffering and blockdev
    support.

    (*) Adds dependencies on CONFIG_BLOCK to any configuration item that controls
    an item that uses the block layer. This includes:

    (*) Block I/O tracing.

    (*) Disk partition code.

    (*) All filesystems that are block based, eg: Ext3, ReiserFS, ISOFS.

    (*) The SCSI layer. As far as I can tell, even SCSI chardevs use the
    block layer to do scheduling. Some drivers that use SCSI facilities -
    such as USB storage - end up disabled indirectly from this.

    (*) Various block-based device drivers, such as IDE and the old CDROM
    drivers.

    (*) MTD blockdev handling and FTL.

    (*) JFFS - which uses set_bdev_super(), something it could avoid doing by
    taking a leaf out of JFFS2's book.

    (*) Makes most of the contents of linux/blkdev.h, linux/buffer_head.h and
    linux/elevator.h contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK being set. sector_div() is,
    however, still used in places, and so is still available.

    (*) Also made contingent are the contents of linux/mpage.h, linux/genhd.h and
    parts of linux/fs.h.

    (*) Makes a number of files in fs/ contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.

    (*) Makes mm/bounce.c (bounce buffering) contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.

    (*) set_page_dirty() doesn't call __set_page_dirty_buffers() if CONFIG_BLOCK
    is not enabled.

    (*) fs/no-block.c is created to hold out-of-line stubs and things that are
    required when CONFIG_BLOCK is not set:

    (*) Default blockdev file operations (to give error ENODEV on opening).

    (*) Makes some /proc changes:

    (*) /proc/devices does not list any blockdevs.

    (*) /proc/diskstats and /proc/partitions are contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.

    (*) Makes some compat ioctl handling contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.

    (*) If CONFIG_BLOCK is not defined, makes sys_quotactl() return -ENODEV if
    given command other than Q_SYNC or if a special device is specified.

    (*) In init/do_mounts.c, no reference is made to the blockdev routines if
    CONFIG_BLOCK is not defined. This does not prohibit NFS roots or JFFS2.

    (*) The bdflush, ioprio_set and ioprio_get syscalls can now be absent (return
    error ENOSYS by way of cond_syscall if so).

    (*) The seclvl_bd_claim() and seclvl_bd_release() security calls do nothing if
    CONFIG_BLOCK is not set, since they can't then happen.

  • In an unrelated MTD commit, a description about the ms02-nv module
    got removed from Kconfig. While I personally agree with this
    removal, the module maintainer (Maciej W. Rozycki) would like to
    see it added back. In the absense of any consistency regarding
    Kconfig descriptions his wish should be followed.

  • Remove the blkmtd driver.

    - An alternative exists (block2mtd) that hasn't had bug report for > 1 year.

    - Most embedded people tend to use ancient kernels with custom patches from
    mtd cvs and elsewhere, so the 1 year warning period neither helps nor hurts
    them too much.

    - It's in the way of klibc. The problems caused by pulling blkmtd support
    are fairly low, while the problems caused by delaying klibc can be fairly
    substantial. At best, this would be a severe burden on hpa's time.

  • This was originally a driver for the ST M25P80 SPI flash. It's been
    updated slightly to handle other M25P series chips.

    For many of these chips, the specific type could be probed, but for now
    this just requires static setup with flash_platform_data that lists the
    chip type (size, format) and any default partitioning to use.

  • This is a conversion of the AT91rm9200 DataFlash MTD driver to use the
    lightweight SPI framework, and no longer be AT91-specific. It compiles
    down to less than 3KBytes on ARM.

    The driver allows board-specific init code to provide platform_data with
    the relevant MTD partitioning information, and hotplugs.

    This version has been lightly tested. Its parent at91_dataflash driver has
    been pretty well banged on, although kernel.org JFFS2 dataflash support was
    acting broken the last time I tried it.

  • Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
    even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
    archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
    3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
    git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
    infrastructure for it.

    Let it rip!
