Isn't allwinner,rb implied by a lack of rb-gpios property. Or no R/B pin is an option? If so, don't you need some fixed time delay properties like max erase time? rb-gpios could be added to the generic nand binding as well.

Some controllers have dedicated R/B pin (Ready/Busy) while others may use GPIO instead. It's the way a hardware controller is designed. Request you to please consider Ack from MTD Maintainers 'at-least' for generic NAND DT bindings. There is already a discussion going in a separate thread for which is still not awaiting replies [1].

It's the way a hardware controller is designed. You meant "You do not think", right ? If so, I think even if the retrieval and control of the GPIO is done is each NAND controller, we could at least use a common property name for all drivers using a GPIO to detect the R/B state. > Request you to please consider Ack from MTD Maintainers 'at-least' for > generic NAND DT bindings.

I'll let DT and MTD maintainers decide ;-).

The Allwinner NAND controller have dedicated RB pins when NAND is enabled, only MUXed with other functions when NAND is not enabled. Leaving RB unconnected is not a valid hardware configuration. The controller internal timing engine depends on being able to sense RB to sequence NAND commands properly.

It was in yuq's driver because he was using the NFC_WAIT_FLAG ,and in this case the controller wait for the native R/B pin to be high before considering the CMD is complete. This driver choose the appropriate way to test the R/B state of the NAND chip according to what was specified in the DT: - allwinner,rb: native R/B id. These pins will be used by the NAND controller to test the R/B state. Only 0 and 1 are valid because the NAND controller only support 2 R/B pins. - rb-gpios: gpio used for R/B tests. This is a simple GPIO and will use the GPIO subsystem to test the R/B pin state. - none: the NAND base code will wait some time before and send STATUS cmd to the NAND to check its status. BTW, the controller supports 8 CS (8 NAND chips), but only have 2 native R/B pins, this means you'll have to use the GPIO or standard GET_STATUS method if you connect 3 or more NAND chips. And for the record, I still think the rb-gpios property (or whatever common name you choose: nand-rb-gpios ?) should be part of the generic NAND binding, because other controllers (at least the atmel one :)) use GPIOs to test R/B state.
