Vignesh Raghavendra dcc7d3446a mtd: Add support for HyperBus memory devices
Cypress' HyperBus is Low Signal Count, High Performance Double Data Rate
Bus interface between a host system master and one or more slave
interfaces. HyperBus is used to connect microprocessor, microcontroller,
or ASIC devices with random access NOR flash memory (called HyperFlash)
or self refresh DRAM (called HyperRAM).

Its a 8-bit data bus (DQ[7:0]) with  Read-Write Data Strobe (RWDS)
signal and either Single-ended clock(3.0V parts) or Differential clock
(1.8V parts). It uses ChipSelect lines to select b/w multiple slaves.
At bus level, it follows a separate protocol described in HyperBus
specification[1].

HyperFlash follows CFI AMD/Fujitsu Extended Command Set (0x0002) similar
to that of existing parallel NORs. Since HyperBus is x8 DDR bus,
its equivalent to x16 parallel NOR flash with respect to bits per clock
cycle. But HyperBus operates at >166MHz frequencies.
HyperRAM provides direct random read/write access to flash memory
array.

But, HyperBus memory controllers seem to abstract implementation details
and expose a simple MMIO interface to access connected flash.

Add support for registering HyperFlash devices with MTD framework. MTD
maps framework along with CFI chip support framework are used to support
communicating with flash.

Framework is modelled along the lines of spi-nor framework. HyperBus
memory controller (HBMC) drivers calls hyperbus_register_device() to
register a single HyperFlash device. HyperFlash core parses MMIO access
information from DT, sets up the map_info struct, probes CFI flash and
registers it with MTD framework.

Some HBMC masters need calibration/training sequence[3] to be carried
out, in order for DLL inside the controller to lock, by reading a known
string/pattern. This is done by repeatedly reading CFI Query
Identification String. Calibration needs to be done before trying to detect
flash as part of CFI flash probe.

HyperRAM is not supported at the moment.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
