Series Add octal DTR support for Macronix flash | expand

From: JaimeLiao <jaimeliao@mxic.com.tw>

There are NOR flashes (Macronix) that swap the bytes on a 16-bit
boundary when configured in Octal DTR mode. The byte order of
16-bit words is swapped when read or written in Octal Double
Transfer Rate (DTR) mode compared to Single Transfer Rate (STR)
modes. If one writes D0 D1 D2 D3 bytes using 1-1-1 mode, and uses
8D-8D-8D SPI mode for reading, it will read back D1 D0 D3 D2.
Swapping the bytes may introduce some endianness problems. It can
affect the boot sequence if the entire boot sequence is not handled
in either 8D-8D-8D mode or 1-1-1 mode. So we must swap the bytes
back to have the same byte order as in STR modes. Fortunately there
are controllers that could swap the bytes back at runtime,
addressing the flash's endiannesses requirements. Provide a way for
the upper layers to specify the byte order in Octal DTR mode.

Merge Tudor's patch and add modifications for suiting newer version
of Linux kernel.

maybe just swap16? I'm not sure. Doesn't really apply to DTR, because
it is not a thing for 4bit DTR for example. Just for 8d8d8d and "faster"
because there you transmit more than one byte in one clock cycle.

"whether bytes within a 16-bit word should be swapped. Some flashes will
swap the data in 8D mode. In that case, this should be set to true
to instruct the controller to swap the data back on the fly.

__pad : 5;

Does anyone know if this is really necessary?

I guess the same comment as above applies, doesn't really have something
to do with dtr, but only 8d.

I've just noticed you didn't include the SPI maintainer nor linux-spi.
Please make sure you run script/get_maintainer.pl on your patches.

The patch set does not differ from what I sent here

https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/linux-mtd/patch/20220311080147.453483-2-tudor.ambarus@microchip.com/

so please keep my authorship and add your Signed-off-by tag and maybe a
[Jaime Liao: describe your changes]

section above your S-o-b tag.

renaming to swap16 would be good, yes.

it's to mitigate a gcc-{12, 13} bug, see
71c8f9cf2623d0db79665f876b95afcdd8214aec

No idea if the bug was fixed in the meantime.

Ahh right, me of all, should've remembered that ;)
