In spansion S25FS-S family the physical sectors are grouped as
normal and parameter sectors. Parameter sectors are 4kB in size
with 8 set located at the bottom or top address of a device.
Normal sectors are similar to other flash family with sizes of
64kB or 32 kB.
To erase whole flash using sector erase(D8h or DCh) won't effect
the parameter sectors, so in order to erase these we must use 4K
sector erase commands (20h or 21h) separately.
So better to erase the whole flash using 4K sector erase instead
of detecting these family parts again and do two different erase
operations.
For this:
- Removed spansion_s25fss_disable_4KB_erase code
- Add SECT_4K for S25FS512S chip

nand_do_write_ops() determines if it is writing a partial page with the
formula:
part_pagewr = (column || writelen < (mtd->writesize - 1))
When 'writelen' is exactly 1 byte less than the NAND page size the formula
equates to zero, so the code doesn't process it as a partial write, although
it should.
As a consequence the function remains in the while(1) loop with 'writelen'
becoming 0xffffffff and iterating until the watchdog timeout triggers.

Booting a payload out of NAND FLASH from the SPL is a crux today, as
it requires hard partioned FLASH. Not a brilliant idea with the
reliability of todays NAND FLASH chips.
The upstream UBI + UBI fastmap implementation which is about to
brought to u-boot is too heavy weight for SPLs as it provides way more
functionality than needed for a SPL and does not even fit into the
restricted SPL areas which are loaded from the SoC boot ROM.
So this provides a fast and lightweight implementation of UBI scanning
and UBI fastmap attach. The scan and logical to physical block mapping
code is developed from scratch, while the fastmap implementation is
lifted from the linux kernel source and stripped down to fit the SPL
needs.
The text foot print on the board which I used for development is:
6854 0 0 6854 1abd
drivers/mtd/ubispl/built-in.o
Attaching a NAND chip with 4096 physical eraseblocks (4 blocks are
reserved for the SPL) takes:
In full scan mode: 1172ms
In fastmap mode: 95ms
The code requires quite some storage. The largest and unknown part of
it is the number of fastmap blocks to read. Therefor the data
structure is not put into the BSS. The code requires a pointer to free
memory handed in which is initialized by the UBI attach code itself.
See doc/README.ubispl for further information on how to use it.
This shares the ubi-media.h and crc32 implementation of drivers/mtd/ubi
There is no way to share the fastmap code, as UBISPL only utilizes the
slightly modified functions ubi_attach_fastmap() and ubi_scan_fastmap()
from the original kernel ubi fastmap implementation.

flash_full_status_check() checks bit XSR.7 on Intel chips. This
should be done by only checking bit 7 and not by comparing the
whole status byte or word with 0x80.
This fixes the non-working block erase in the pflash emulation
of Qemu when used with the MIPS Malta board. MIPS Malta uses x32
mode to access the pflash device. In x32 mode Qemu mirrors the
lower 16 bits of the status word into the upper 16 bits. Thus
the CFI driver gets a status word of 0x8080 in x32 mode. If
flash_full_status_check() uses flash_isequal(), then it polls for
XSR.7 by comparing 0x8080 with 0x80 which never becomes true.

Allwinner devices support SPI flash as one of the possible
bootable media type. The SPI flash chip needs to be connected
to SPI0 pins (port C) to make this work. More information is
available at:
https://linux-sunxi.org/Bootable_SPI_flash
This patch adds the initial support for booting from SPI flash.
The existing SPI frameworks are not used in order to reduce the
SPL code size. Right now the SPL size grows by ~370 bytes when
CONFIG_SPL_SPI_SUNXI option is enabled.
While there are no popular Allwinner devices with SPI flash at
the moment, testing can be done using a SPI flash module (it
can be bought for ~2$ on ebay) and jumper wires with the boards,
which expose relevant pins on the expansion header. The SPI flash
chips themselves are very cheap (some prices are even listed as
low as 4 cents) and should not cost much if somebody decides to
design a development board with an SPI flash chip soldered on
the PCB.
Another nice feature of the SPI flash is that it can be safely
accessed in a device-independent way (since we know that the
boot ROM is already probing these pins during the boot time).
And if, for example, Olimex boards opted to use SPI flash instead
of EEPROM, then they would have been able to have U-Boot installed
in the SPI flash now and boot the rest of the system from the SATA
hard drive. Hopefully we may see new interesting Allwinner based
development boards in the future, now that the software support
for the SPI flash is in a better shape :-)
Testing can be done by enabling the CONFIG_SPL_SPI_SUNXI option
in a board defconfig, then building U-Boot and finally flashing
the resulting u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin binary over USB OTG with
a help of the sunxi-fel tool:
sunxi-fel spiflash-write 0 u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin
The device needs to be switched into FEL (USB recovery) mode first.
The most suitable boards for testing are Orange Pi PC and Pine64.
Because these boards are cheap, have no built-in NAND/eMMC and
expose SPI0 pins on the Raspberry Pi compatible expansion header.
The A13-OLinuXino-Micro board also can be used.
