      mtd: atmel_nand: enable Nand Flash Controller (NFC) write via sram · 6054d4d5
      Josh Wu 提交于
      This patch enable writing nand flash via NFC SRAM. It will minimize the CPU
      overhead. The SRAM write only support ECC_NONE and ECC_HW with PMECC.
      
      To enable this NFC write by SRAM feature, you can add a string in dts under
      NFC driver node.
      
      This driver has been tested on SAMA5D3X-EK with JFFS2, YAFFS2, UBIFS and
      mtd-utils.
      
      Here is part of mtd_speedtest (writing test) result, compare with non-NFC
      writing, it reduces %65 cpu load with loss %12 speed.
      
      - commands use to test:
        # insmod /mnt/mtd_speedtest.ko dev=2 &
        # top -n 30 -d 1 | grep speedtest
      
      - test result:

      mtd: atmel_nand: add Nand Flash Controller (NFC) support · 7dc37de7
      Josh Wu 提交于
      Nand Flash Controller (NFC) can handle automatic transfers, sending the
      commands and address cycles to the NAND Flash.
      
      To use NFC in this driver, user needs to add NFC child node in nand flash
      driver. The NFC child node includes NFC's compatible string and regiters
      of the address and size of NFC command registers, NFC registers (embedded
      in HSMC) and NFC SRAM.
      Also user need to set up the HSMC irq, which use to check whether nfc
      command is finish or not.
      
      This driver has been tested on SAMA5D3X-EK board with JFFS2, YAFFS,
      UBIFS and mtd-utils.
      
      I put the part of the mtd_speedtest result here for your information.
      >From the mtd_speedtest, we can see the NFC will reduce the %50 of cpu load
      when writing nand flash. No change when reading.
      In the meantime, the speed will be slow about %8.
      
      - commands use to test:
          #insmod /mnt/mtd_speedtest.ko dev=2 &
          #top -n 30 -d 1 | grep speedtest

      Josh Wu 提交于
      This patch will set the nand dma support in dts. Since we will not use
      cpu_is_xxx() in nand driver. We needn't include the mach/cpu.h any more.
