[PATCH 0/3] mtd: rawnand: pl353: Fixes and software ECC support

[Miquel Raynal (DAVE)]

Following the previous reports from Andrea, here are a couple of fixes,
making sure the software ECC support works flawlessly and is compatible
with U-Boot.

[PATCH 1/3] mtd: rawnand: pl353: Update timings at the right moment

[Miquel Raynal (DAVE)]

If several CE are wired, we would write the registers for every chip one
after the other, and reselect the correct timings for the first chip the
use wants to use after probe. This is not exactly efficient and could
slightly be improved since we already have a helper that applies the
configuration if there is a chip change. Instead of programming the
registers in ->setup_interface(), let's just drop the pointer to the
chip and let the nand_select_target() helper do its magic.

Olivier,

This is an enhancement to your previous patch which already
works. Can you please tell me if that change is okay for you?

Thanks,

[PATCH 2/3] mtd: rawnand: pl353: Make sure we use the monolithic helpers for raw accesses

[Miquel Raynal (DAVE)]

Any access not using the hardware ECC engine should be monolithic
because the controller has its very own way of handling the end of a
transaction during operation configuration, so we cannot easily make
repeated reads.

This has the side effect of fixing support for software ECC engines.

[PATCH 3/3] mtd: rawnand: pl353: Fix debug prints

[Miquel Raynal (DAVE)]

They are partially incorrect since "software" engine does not mean
hamming, the "none" cae is also falling into this print, and on-die
means there is some kind of hardware support; we prefer to use the
wording on-host vs. on-die.

Fix all those prints.

Yes it looks good.
I tested the patch on one of my boards, it works as expected.
