Currently, we read 5 bytes for ID, but s25fl128s has the same ext_id(0x4d01)
with s25fl129p1. The s25fl128s can support the DDR Quad read, while s25fl129p1
does not. So we have to distinguish the two NOR flashs.

This patch reads out 6 bytes for the ID, and use the 6 bytes ID to search the
right flash_info.

The detail of the patch is:
  [1] change the "ext_id" from u16 to u32.
      We can store two bytes or three bytes with the @ext_id now.

  [2] search the right flash_info with the 6byte ID and the new @ext_id.
      We use "matched" variable to track the legacy two bytes @ext_id.
      If the flash_info's @ext_id is three bytes, we will use the
      sixth byte of the ID to check it.

  [3] add the new item to spi_nor_ids for s25fl128s.

Support for new hardware should go in separatelly.

I wonder if the ID-bytes wraparound cannot cause us trouble here. For example if 
we try to detect a SPI NOR which has 5-byte ID code, but in the table, we'd also 
have a SPI NOR with has a 6-byte code where the last byte of ext-jedec matches 
the first byte of JEDEC ID , this would actually match on the later.

Shall we not add an ID code length field into the table instead ?

Imagine two chips with two IDs:
Chip 1 has IDs: 0xf00b42 0x4242f0 and readID[6] returns 0x420bf0f04242
Chip 2 has IDs: 0xf00b42   0x42f0 and readID[6] returns 0x420bf0f04242
This is because in the second chips' case the ID wraps around at 5 bytes. But 
chip #1 matches the ID, so if chip #1 is earlier in the list of SPI NOR flashes, 
we will get an incorrect detection of that chip.

Does it make sense now please ?

It will not return 0x420bf0f04242.

The readID[6] should be: f0, 0b, 42, 42, 42, f0.


> Chip 2 has IDs: 0xf00b42   0x42f0 and readID[6] returns 0x420bf0f04242
the readID[6] should be: f0, 0b, 42, 42, f0, XX.

 "XX" stands for the sixth byte.

The current patch can distinguish these two chips.

I guess your meaning is that the chip 2 has IDs: 0xf00b42   0x4242
and the sixth byte is 0xf0 which wraps the first byte.

Currently, only the Spansion uses the ext_id, please see the items:

The s25fl128s is the first NOR chip which shares the same 5 bytes:
     the jedec_id and the ext_id.

What are you worry about is that the s25fl129p1 has the same 6th byte as
the s25fl128s. The sixth byte is the "Family ID". For s25fl128s, the sixth byte
of the ID is 0x80.  I do not have s25fl129p1, I only have its datasheet. 

Can someone have the s25fl129p1? if you have this chip, could you please
read out the sixth byte of its ID?

I think the s25fl129p1 will not have the same "Family ID" as the s25fl128s.

Huang, what I meant is that if you read 6 bytes of ID from a chip which wraps 
the READID command output on 5 bytes AND the first and last byte match in the 
table for some 6-byte chip, then this 6-byte chip will be used as a 
configuration for the different 5-byte chip.

This code should be future-proof, but if we keep adding such special cases, we 
will end up with false matches sooner or later anyway I'm afraid.

What do you say we add the READID length field into the table ?

Does the chip vendor so silly to produce such chips? :)

If we add the length field into the table, we have to sort the table by
some kind of order. Btw: I do not object to add the length field.

I don't quite understand the meaning of this sentence, but the approach where we 
try heuristics doesn't scale.

Why, please elaborate.

If two chips share the same jedec_id, it means the two chips are produced from
the same chip vendor, such as 0x012018 means the chip is from Spansion.

If two chips share the same 5 bytes ID, the two chips definitely are produced
from the same vendor.

So my meaning is the case what are you mentioned will _not_ exit in the real world.
Spansion will not so silly.

pleas see:
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-mtd/2013-December/050670.html

If you are interested in this issue, please give us a patch.
What I want is making the kernel can support the s25fl128s as soon as possible.

You do have an awful amount of trust for those things. I am better of with 
"better safe than sorry".

Sorry, but this really doesn't answer my question. It's only a matter of 
correctly implementing the matching function to find a proper match.

Can we get insight on this from the others please ?

Perfect, I'd prefer to support it as correctly as possible.

Please do not make mistake about me. :) it is not a threat.

If add the readid length field to the table, i will implement nearly the
same code as Clark did. I thought You have a better idea maybe.

what are you saying is that we meet the same 6 bytes for two different NOR flashes.

could you tell us how do you implement the "add the READID length field .."?

IMHO, even we add the readid length field, we also can not avoid the case you
mentioned.

hi Brian & Clark, what's your opinion about this?

Hi Brian:
	any comment about this patch?

thanks
Huang Shijie
Christophe Kerello May 27, 2014, 3:57 p.m. UTC | #15
Hello Huang,

I have one remark on this patch.

S25FL128S flash has 2 variants:
  - Uniform 256-kB sectors (ext_id = 0x4D00)
  - 4-kB parameter sectors with uniform 64-kB sectors (ext_id = 0x4D01)

If i would like to distinguish these 2 variants in spi_nor_ids array, i 
replace:
{ "s25fl128s", INFO(0x012018, 0x4d0180, 64 * 1024, 256, 
SPI_NOR_QUAD_READ) },
with
{ "s25fl128s0", INFO(0x012018, 0x4d0080, 256 * 1024, 64, 
SPI_NOR_QUAD_READ) },
{ "s25fl128s1", INFO(0x012018, 0x4d0180, 64 * 1024, 256, 
SPI_NOR_QUAD_READ) },

In this case, i fail to find s25fl128s1 device.

The problem is coming from ext_jedec calculation.
first try:
     - jedec = 0x012018,
     - ext_jedec = 0x4d0180,
     - info->ext_id = 0x4d0080,
     =>s25fl128s0 doesn't match

second try:
     - jedec = 0x012018,
     - ext_jedec = 0x4d018080,
     - info->ext_id = 0x4d0180,
     => s25fl128s1 doesn't match

I think there is similar issue with s25fl129p1 (if i use this patch 
without modifying it).
first try:
     - jedec = 0x012018,
     - ext_jedec = 0x4d01xx, (xx = probably 0x00 or 0xff)
     - info->ext_id = 0x4d0180,
     =>s25fl128s doesn't match

second try:
     - jedec = 0x012018,
     - ext_jedec = 0x4d01xx,
     - info->ext_id = 0x4d01,
     => s25fl129p1 doesn't match

If I reset ext_jedec after each try, it works.

ext_jedec = ext_jedec << 8 | id[5];
if (info->ext_id == ext_jedec)
     return &spi_nor_ids[tmp];
else
     /* reset ext_jdec for next try */
     ext_jedec = ext_jedec >> 8;

Regards,
Christophe Kerello.
