2022-02-10spi: mxic: Add support for pipelined ECC operationsMiquel Raynal1-1/+1
Some SPI-NAND chips do not have a proper on-die ECC engine providing error correction/detection. This is particularly an issue on embedded devices with limited resources because all the computations must happen in software, unless an external hardware engine is provided. These external engines are new and can be of two categories: external or pipelined. Macronix is providing both, the former being already supported. The second, however, is very SoC implementation dependent and must be instantiated by the SPI host controller directly. An entire subsystem has been contributed to support these engines which makes the insertion into another subsystem such as SPI quite straightforward without the need for a lot of specific functions.

2022-02-10mtd: nand: mxic-ecc: Support SPI pipelined modeMiquel Raynal1-0/+49
Introduce the support for another possible configuration: the ECC engine may work as DMA master (pipelined) and move itself the data to/from the NAND chip into the buffer, applying the necessary corrections/computations on the fly. This driver offers an ECC engine implementation that must be instatiated from a SPI controller driver.
