[PATCH 3/3] mtd: spi-nor: core: Introduce SPI_NOR_NO_MULTI_PASS_PP

From: Pratyush Yadav
Date: Mon Oct 12 2020 - 14:04:32 EST


The Cypress Semper S28 flash family uses 2-bit ECC by default. Under
this ECC scheme, multi-pass page programs result in a program error.
This means that unlike many other SPI NOR flashes, bit-walking cannot be
done. In other words, once a page is programmed, its bits cannot then be
flipped to 0 without an erase in between.

This causes problems with UBIFS because it uses bit-walking to clear EC
and VID magic numbers from a PEB before issuing an erase to preserve the
file system correctness in case of power cuts.

Use SPI_NOR_NO_MULTI_PASS_PP to set MTD_NO_MULTI_PASS_WRITE, telling
upper layers to avoid multi-pass page programming. In addition, update
mtd->writesize to match the page size to make sure upper layers make the
changes they need in one single go.
