Introducing CONFIG_MTD_VIRT_CONCAT to separate the legacy flow from the new
approach, where only the concatenated partition is registered as an MTD
device, while the individual partitions that form it are not registered
independently, as they are typically not required by the user.
CONFIG_MTD_VIRT_CONCAT is a boolean configuration option that depends on
CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONED_MASTER. When enabled, it allows flash nodes to be
exposed as individual MTD devices along with the other partitions.
The solution focuses on fixed-partitions description only as it depends on
device boundaries. It supports multiple sets of concatenated devices, each
comprising two or more partitions.
flash@0 {
reg = <0>;
partitions {
compatible = "fixed-partitions";
part0@0 {
part-concat-next = <&flash0_part1>;
label = "part0_0";
reg = <0x0 0x800000>;
};
flash0_part1: part1@800000 {
label = "part0_1";
reg = <800000 0x800000>;
};
part2@1000000 {
part-concat-next = <&flash1_part0>;
label = "part0_2";
reg = <0x800000 0x800000>;
};
};
};
flash@1 {
reg = <1>;
partitions {
compatible = "fixed-partitions";
flash1_part0: part1@0 {
label = "part1_0";
reg = <0x0 0x800000>;
};
part1@800000 {
label = "part1_1";
reg = <0x800000 0x800000>;
};
};
};
The partitions that gets created are
flash@0
part0_0-part0_1-concat
flash@1
part1_1
part0_2-part1_0-concat

There is a surprisingly large number of tutorials
that suggest using mtdblock to mount SquashFS filesystems
on flash devices, including NAND devices.
Given this approach is suboptimal than using UBI, and given
the UBI block device layer was introduced many years ago
specifically with this use case in mind, add a small
comment inviting users and developers to consider UBI block.

JFFS2 can be mounted without 'mtdblock' since
a really, really long time. Some git-log
archaeology shows that in 2006 it was possible
to use 'root=' to mount a JFFS2 rootfs:

[MTD] Allow alternate JFFS2 mount variant for root filesystem.
With this patch, "root=mtd3" and "root=mtd:foo" work for a JFFS2 rootfs.
However, there are still plenty of tutorials that mention
mtdblock, so users are still taking this route. Update the Kconfig
to reflect this is no longer needed.

This introduces mtdpstore, which is similar to mtdoops but more
powerful. It uses pstore/blk, and aims to store panic and oops logs to
a flash partition, where pstore can later read back and present as files
in the mounted pstore filesystem.
To make mtdpstore work, the "blkdev" of pstore/blk should be set
as MTD device name or MTD device number. For more details, see
Documentation/admin-guide/pstore-blk.rst
This solves a number of issues:
- Work duplication: both of pstore and mtdoops do the same job storing
panic/oops log. They have very similar logic, registering to kmsg
dumper and storing logs to several chunks one by one.
- Layer violations: drivers should provides methods instead of polices.
MTD should provide read/write/erase operations, and allow a higher
level drivers to provide the chunk management, kmsg dump
configuration, etc.
- Missing features: pstore provides many additional features, including
presenting the logs as files, logging dump time and count, and
supporting other frontends like pmsg, console, etc.

Cypress' HyperBus is Low Signal Count, High Performance Double Data Rate
Bus interface between a host system master and one or more slave
interfaces. HyperBus is used to connect microprocessor, microcontroller,
or ASIC devices with random access NOR flash memory (called HyperFlash)
or self refresh DRAM (called HyperRAM).
Its a 8-bit data bus (DQ[7:0]) with Read-Write Data Strobe (RWDS)
signal and either Single-ended clock(3.0V parts) or Differential clock
(1.8V parts). It uses ChipSelect lines to select b/w multiple slaves.
At bus level, it follows a separate protocol described in HyperBus
specification[1].
HyperFlash follows CFI AMD/Fujitsu Extended Command Set (0x0002) similar
to that of existing parallel NORs. Since HyperBus is x8 DDR bus,
its equivalent to x16 parallel NOR flash with respect to bits per clock
cycle. But HyperBus operates at >166MHz frequencies.
HyperRAM provides direct random read/write access to flash memory
array.
But, HyperBus memory controllers seem to abstract implementation details
and expose a simple MMIO interface to access connected flash.
Add support for registering HyperFlash devices with MTD framework. MTD
maps framework along with CFI chip support framework are used to support
communicating with flash.
Framework is modelled along the lines of spi-nor framework. HyperBus
memory controller (HBMC) drivers calls hyperbus_register_device() to
register a single HyperFlash device. HyperFlash core parses MMIO access
information from DT, sets up the map_info struct, probes CFI flash and
registers it with MTD framework.
Some HBMC masters need calibration/training sequence[3] to be carried
out, in order for DLL inside the controller to lock, by reading a known
string/pattern. This is done by repeatedly reading CFI Query
Identification String. Calibration needs to be done before trying to detect
flash as part of CFI flash probe.
HyperRAM is not supported at the moment.

Pull char/misc driver updates from Greg KH:
"Here is the big set of char and misc driver patches for 4.21-rc1.
Lots of different types of driver things in here, as this tree seems
to be the "collection of various driver subsystems not big enough to
have their own git tree" lately.
Anyway, some highlights of the changes in here:
- binderfs: is it a rule that all driver subsystems will eventually
grow to have their own filesystem? Binder now has one to handle the
use of it in containerized systems.
This was discussed at the Plumbers conference a few months ago and
knocked into mergable shape very fast by Christian Brauner. Who
also has signed up to be another binder maintainer, showing a
distinct lack of good judgement :)
- binder updates and fixes
- mei driver updates
- fpga driver updates and additions
- thunderbolt driver updates
- soundwire driver updates
- extcon driver updates
- nvmem driver updates
- hyper-v driver updates
- coresight driver updates
- pvpanic driver additions and reworking for more device support
- lp driver updates. Yes really, it's _finally_ moved to the proper
parallal port driver model, something I never thought I would see
happen. Good stuff.
- other tiny driver updates and fixes.
All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported
issues"

For many use cases, it helps to have a device node for the entire
MTD device as well as device nodes for the individual partitions.
For example, this allows querying the entire device's properties.
A common idiom is to create an additional partition which spans
over the whole device.
This patch makes a config option, CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONED_MASTER,
which makes the master partition present even when the device is
partitioned. This isn't turned on by default since it presents
a backwards-incompatible device numbering.
The patch also makes the parent of a partition device be the master,
if the config flag is set, now that the master is a full device.
