According to the Open NAND Flash Interface Specification (ONFI) Revision
3.1 "Parameters are always transferred on the lower 8-bits of the data
bus." for the Get Features and Set Features commands.

So using read_buf and write_buf is wrong for 16-bit wide nand chips as
they use I/O[15:0]. The Get Features command is easily fixed using 4
times the read_byte callback. For Set Features error out as there is no
write_byte callback.

Hello,

note this is only compile tested and I don't have a 16-bit wide nand, so I
don't even saw a failure.

The problem exists since commit

	7db03ec (mtd: add helpers to set/get features for ONFI nand)

which introduced the two functions.

Still I'd like to know how I can write a byte (or a sequence of bytes) as this
is necessary for locking the otp are of micron chips. Well, I could implement
it for 8-bit chips only, but this isn't very satisfying.

Do we need to add a write_byte callback to struct nand_chip? Or is there
a way to do write a byte that I'm just too blind to see?

Is this patch relevant for stable? Probably not!?

Best regards
Uwe

yes. the set/get features should works in 8-bit.

I have never met a 16-bit onfi nand yet. :)

Most of the time, the nand controller will overwrite the write_buf hook...
I also think we need a write_byte callback.

a default implementation could be something like that:

	static void nand_write_byte(struct mtd_info *mtd, uint8_t byte)
	{
		struct nand_chip *chip = mtd->priv;

		if (chip->options & NAND_BUSWIDTH_16)
			chip->write_buf(mtd, (uint8_t[]){ byte, 0 }, 2);
		else
			chip->write_buf(mtd, &byte, 1);
	}

(Is this the correct order in the array? Or might that depend on
endianess?)

Does this look right?

Alternatively something could be done with chip->cmd_ctrl (but it seems
not all drivers implement this, e.g. mxc_nand doesn't).

IMHO, the nand_write_byte() should not call the chip->write_buf() again. 
Since the ->write_buf() could
be the nand_write_buf16(). it makes a little mess.

In my opinion, the default nand_write_byte() hook could use the 
nand_write_buf() to  write just one byte;
and the nand controller can overwrite the nand_write_byte() hook if it 
could.
Of course, it's just a suggest.

I think it does the right thing though. With a 16-bit chip doing

	chip->write_buf(mtd, (uint8_t[]){ byte, 0 }, 2)

puts $byte to I/O[7:0] and 0 to I/O[15:8]. This is what I want it to
do---not sure if I/O[15:8] should better be tri-stated?

> In my opinion, the default nand_write_byte() hook could use the

This feels much more wrong. nand_write_buf() uses chip->IO_ADDR_W which
might not be initialized by the driver.

I will create a patch ...

I am not sure too. :)
I do not ever use a 16-bit nand controller.

Which part does it have? Would you volunteer to test access to its OTP
area? (Provided you have a Micron chip of course.)

It is a micron chip (MT29F2G16ABD), but I can't test on it ATM.
