[PATCH v2 2/2] mtd: rawnand: denali: remove denali_reset_banks()

In nand_scan_ident(), the controller driver resets every NAND chip.
This is done by sending NAND_CMD_RESET. The Denali IP provides
another way to do the equivalent thing; if a bit is set in the
DEVICE_RESET register, the controller sends the RESET command to
the corresponding device. denali_reset_banks() uses it to reset
all devices beforehand.

This redundant reset sequence was needed to know the actual number
of chips before calling nand_scan_ident(); if DEVICE_RESET fails,
there is no chip in that chip select. Then, denali_reset_banks()
sets denali->max_banks to the number of detected chips.

As commit f486287d2372 ("mtd: nand: denali: fix bank reset function
to detect the number of chips") explained, nand_scan_ident() issued
Set Features (0xEF) command to all CS lines, some of which may not be
connected with a chip. Then, the driver would wait for R/B# response,
which never happens.

This problem was solved by commit 107b7d6a7ad4 ("mtd: rawnand: avoid
setting again the timings to mode 0 after a reset"). In the current
code, nand_setup_data_interface() is called from nand_scan_tail(),
which is invoked after the chip detection.

Now, we can really remove the redundant denali_nand_banks() by simply
passing the maximum number of chip selects supported by this IP
(typically 4 or 8) to nand_scan(). Let's leave all the chip detection
process to nand_scan_ident().

The Denali NAND IP has no way to read out the current signal level
of the R/B# pin. Instead, denali_dev_ready() checks if the R/B#
transition has already happened. (The INTR__INT_ACT interrupt is
asserted at the rising edge of the R/B# pin.) It is not a correct
way to implement the ->dev_ready() hook.

In fact, it has a drawback; in the nand_scan_ident phase, the chip
detection iterates over maxchips until it fails to find a homogeneous
chip. For the last loop, nand_reset() fails if no chip is there.

If ->dev_ready hook exists, nand_command(_lp) calls nand_wait_ready()
after NAND_CMD_RESET. However, we know denali_dev_ready() never
returns 1 unless there exists a chip that toggles R/B# in that chip
select. Then, nand_wait_ready() just ends up with wasting 400 msec,
in the end, shows the "timeout while waiting for chip to become ready"
warning.

Let's remove the mis-implemented dev_ready hook, and fallback to
sending the NAND_CMD_STATUS and nand_wait_status_ready(), which
bails out more quickly.

Hi Masahiro,
I sent this series on September,
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/967242/
But, It turned out not applied.
I rebased it and resending now.

I don't know how I missed those. Sorry for that, they are now applied
on nand/next.


Thanks,
Miquèl
