      Internal (onboard) programming was the only feature which could not be disabled · 66ef4e5f
      Carl-Daniel Hailfinger authored 
      
Make various pieces of code conditional on support for internal
programming. Code shared between PCI device programmers and onboard
programming is now conditional as well.

It is now possible to build only with dummy support:
make CONFIG_INTERNAL=no CONFIG_NIC3COM=no CONFIG_SATASII=no
CONFIG_DRKAISER=no CONFIG_SERPROG=no CONFIG_FT2232SPI=no

This allows building for a specific use case only, and it also
facilitates porting to a new architecture because it is possible to
focus on highlevel code only.

Note: Either internal or dummy programmer needs to be compiled in due to
the current behaviour of always picking a default programmer if -p is
not specified. Picking an arbitrary external programmer as default  
wouldn't make sense.

Build and runtime tested in all 1024 possible build combinations. The
only failures are by design as mentioned above.

      Store block sizes and corresponding erase functions in struct flashchip · f38431a5
      Carl-Daniel Hailfinger authored 
      
I decided to fill in the info for a
few chips to illustrate how this works both for uniform and non-uniform
sector sizes.

struct eraseblock{
int size; /* Eraseblock size */
int count; /* Number of contiguous blocks with that size */
};

struct eraseblock doesn't correspond with a single erase block, but with
a group of contiguous erase blocks having the same size.
Given a (top boot block) flash chip with the following weird, but
real-life structure:

top
16384
8192
8192
32768
65536
65536
65536
65536
65536
65536
65536
bottom

we get the following encoding:
{65536,7},{32768,1},{8192,2},{16384,1}

Although the number of blocks is bigger than 4, the number of block
groups is only 4. If you ever add some flash chips with more than 4
contiguous block groups, the definition will not fit into the 4-member
array anymore and gcc will recognize that and error out. No undetected
overflow possible. In that case, you simply increase array size a bit.
For modern flash chips with uniform erase block size, you only need one
array member anyway.

Of course data types will need to be changed if you ever get flash chips
with more than 2^30 erase blocks, but even with the lowest known erase
granularity of 256 bytes, these flash chips will have to have a size of
a quarter Terabyte. I'm pretty confident we won't see such big EEPROMs
in the near future (or at least not attached in a way that makes
flashrom usable). For SPI chips, we even have a guaranteed safety factor
of 4096 over the maximum SPI chip size (which is 2^24). And if such a
big flash chip has uniform erase block size, you could even split it
among the 4 array members. If you change int count to unsigned int
count, the storable size doubles. So with a split and a slight change of
data type, the maximum ROM chip size is 2 Terabytes.

Since many chips have multiple block erase functions where the
eraseblock layout depends on the block erase function, this patch
couples the block erase functions with their eraseblock layouts.
struct block_eraser {
  struct eraseblock{
    unsigned int size; /* Eraseblock size */
    unsigned int count; /* Number of contiguous blocks with that size */
  } eraseblocks[NUM_ERASEREGIONS];
  int (*block_erase) (struct flashchip *flash, unsigned int blockaddr, unsigned int blocklen);
} block_erasers[NUM_ERASEFUNCTIONS];

      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.

      Verbose probe output is split across multiple lines for some probe functions · 414bd320
      Carl-Daniel Hailfinger authored 
      
This makes visual inspection and grepping a lot harder than necessary.
Remove line breaks where appropriate. Some error messages should end up
on stderr instead of just being displayed in verbose mode.

Thanks to Maciej Pijanka for testing.

      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.
