I see at least 3 of those timings that could be useful (for the moment) : - tR: this one should be used to fill the chip_delay field - tPROG and tBERS: could be used within nand_wait to choose the timeo value appropriately. The problem is that these timings cannot be deduced from the ONFI timing mode but should rather be extracted from other ONFI parameters or from specific DT properties (hence why I didn't add them to the nand_sdr_timings struct int the first place). Should I add these fields to the nand_sdr_timings struct and change the way onfi_async_timing_mode_to_sdr_timings works (fill a nand timing struct passed as an argument instead of returning a const pointer) ? Or should I create a new struct for these timings ? In the latter case how should I name it ? Best Regards, Boris > + > #endif /* __LINUX_MTD_NAND_H */

The 'mode' covers only the raw electrical parameters needed to exchange commands, other timings cover the commands themselves. Notably the timing mode does not alter those parameters. To me it seems tidy to keep the 'mode' timings contained in their own struct and find other homes for the other parameters. > -tR > -tBERS > -tCCS > -tPLEBSY > -... > > I see at least 3 of those timings that could be useful (for the moment) : > - tR: this one should be used to fill the chip_delay field > - tPROG and tBERS: could be used within nand_wait to choose the timeo > value appropriately. IIRC these timing values are really only necessary if the controller does not support the READY/BUSY input, in that case drivers typically seem to use 'chip_delay' which is the maximum possible command execution time (a sleep long enough to guarentee that READY/BUSY is de-asserted). > Or should I create a new struct for these timings ? > In the latter case how should I name it ? struct onfi_command_timings ?

You're right about tR (or chip_delay): it's only used when there are no R/B pin. I experienced it when I tried the RB_NONE case in the sunxi driver: the default chip_delay set by the NAND core code was too small to fit the NAND chip requirements. Anyway, I really think the chip_delay field should be set according to NAND chip characteristics not harcoded in NAND controller driver code (as currently done). tPROG and tBERS, would be used in nand_wait function and do not depend on the R/B pin. These are just used as timeouts. > >> Or should I create a new struct for these timings ? >> In the latter case how should I name it ? > struct onfi_command_timings ? I'm not a big fan of this name. I think timing structs should not contain onfi in their names, because these timings are also available on non ONFI chips. Moreover, these timings are also part of the SDR NAND timings, they are just retrieved using another method when interfacing with an ONFI chip. Maybe we should change the nand_sdr_timings struct name too. What do you think ? Best Regards, Boris > > Regards, > Jason

Drivers these days are often taking this value from the DT node property 'chip-delay'. I think this would be nice to have in common code too... > tPROG and tBERS, would be used in nand_wait function and do not > depend on the R/B pin. These are just used as timeouts. tPROG/tBERS have that special mode where R/B remains asserted but you can still issue a status read to the chip to check on the command, so the timeout required here is just a big number to detect failed NAND controllers, it isn't really too important to have an exact value.. > >>Or should I create a new struct for these timings ? > >>In the latter case how should I name it ? > >struct onfi_command_timings ? > > I'm not a big fan of this name.

Explicitly defering to the ONFI spec makes it clear what the definition of the timing parameter actually is. If JEDEC has a different model then drivers will need to configure their interfaces a little differently. So we might end up with a jedec_sdr_timings too :| > What do you think ? I'd focus on getting the bus timings working before tackling too much more ... Jason

This is good, since ONFI is a very public spec. > If JEDEC has a different model then drivers will need to configure > their interfaces a little differently. JEDEC’s spec is just a public as ONFI’s, but in the past at least it has been difficult to get without purchase. > So we might end up with a jedec_sdr_timings too :| And onfi_ddr_timings and jedec_ddr_timings since those timing modes are appearing on shipping parts.
