      This is a workaround for a bug in SB600 and SB700 · f8555e24
      Carl-Daniel Hailfinger authored
      
      If we only send an opcode and no additional data/address, the SPI
      controller will read one byte too few from the chip. Basically, the
      last byte of the chip response is discarded and will not end up in the
      FIFO. It is unclear if the CS# line is set high too early as well. That
      hardware bug is undocumented as of now, but I'm working with AMD to add
      a detailed description of it to the errata.
      
      Add loads of additional debugging to SB600/SB700 init.
      
      Add explanatory comments for unintuitive code flow.
      
      Thanks go to Uwe for testing quite a few iterations of the patch.
      
      Kill the SB600 flash chip status register special case, which was a
      somewhat misguided workaround for that hardware erratum.
      
      Note for future added features in the SB600 SPI driver: It may be
      possible to read up to 15 bytes of command response with overlapping
      reads due to the ring buffer design of the FIFO if the command can be
      repeated without ill effects. Same for skipping up to 7 bytes between
      command and response.

      Add SPI multicommand infrastructure · d0478299
      Carl-Daniel Hailfinger authored
      
      Some SPI opcodes need to be sent in direct succession after each other
      without any chip deselect happening in between. A prominent example is
      WREN (Write Enable) directly before PP (Page Program). Intel calls the
      first opcode in such a row "preopcode".
      
      Right now, we ignore the direct succession requirement completely and it
      works pretty well because most onboard SPI masters have a timing or
      heuristics which make the problem disappear.
      The FT2232 SPI flasher is different. Since it is an external flasher,
      timing is very different to what we can expect from onboard flashers and
      this leads to failure at slow speeds.
      
      This patch allows any function to submit multiple SPI commands in a
      stream to any flasher. Support in the individual flashers isn't
      implemented yet, so there is one generic function which passes the each
      command in the stream one-by-one to the command functions of the
      selected SPI flash driver.

      Add bus type annotation to struct flashchips · 1dfe0ff1
      Carl-Daniel Hailfinger authored
      
      Right now, the annotation only differentiates between SPI and non-SPI.
      Anyone who knows more about a specific flash chip should feel free to
      update it.
      
      The existing flashbus variable was abused to denote the SPI controller
      type. Use an aptly named variable for that purpose.
      
      Once this patch is merged, the chipset/programmer init functions can set
      supported flash chip types and flashrom can automatically select only
      matching probe/read/erase/write functions. A side benefit of that will
      be the elimination of the Winbond W29EE011 vs. AMIC A49LF040A conflict.

      Use accessor functions for MMIO · 78185dcb
      Carl-Daniel Hailfinger authored
      
      Some MMIO accesses used volatile, others didn't (and risked
      non-execution of side effects) and even with volatile, some accesses
      looked dubious.
      
      Since the MMIO accessor functions and the onboard flash accessor
      functions are functionally identical (but have different signatures),
      make the flash accessors wrappers for the MMIO accessors.
      
      For some of the conversions, I used Coccinelle. Semantic patch follows:
      
      @@ typedef uint8_t; expression a; volatile uint8_t *b; @@ - b[a] + *(b
      + a) @@ expression a; volatile uint8_t *b; @@ - *(b) |= (a); + *(b) =
      *(b) | (a); @@ expression a; volatile uint8_t *b; @@ - *(b) = (a); +
      mmio_writeb(a, b); @@ volatile uint8_t *b; @@ - *(b) + mmio_readb(b) @@
      type T; T b; @@ ( mmio_readb | mmio_writeb ) (..., - (T) - (b) + b )

      Uwe tested read, write, erase with this patch on a random board to make
      sure nothing breaks.
