SPI NOR core changes:
- Initial support for stateful Octal DTR mode using volatile settings
- Preliminary support for JEDEC 251 (xSPI) and JEDEC 216D standards
- Support for Cypress Semper flash
- Support to specify ECC block size of SPI NOR flashes
- Fixes to avoid clearing of non-volatile Block Protection bits at probe
Generic NAND core:
* ECC management:
- Add an I/O request tweaking mechanism
- Entire rework of the software BCH ECC driver, creation of a real
ECC engine, getting rid of raw NAND structures, migration to more
generic prototypes, misc fixes and style cleanup. Moved now to the
Generic NAND layer.
- Entire rework of the software Hamming ECC driver, creation of a
real ECC engine, getting rid of raw NAND structures, misc renames,
comment updates, cleanup, and style fixes. Moved now to the
generic NAND layer.
- Necessary plumbing at the NAND level to retrieve generic NAND ECC
engines (softwares and on-die).
- Update of the bindings.
Raw NAND core:
* Geting rid of the chip->ecc.priv entry.
* Fix miscellaneous typos in kernel-doc
Raw NAND controller drivers:
* AU1550: Ensure the presence of the right includes
* Davinci: Do not use extra dereferencing
* GPMI:
- Fix the driver only sense CS0 R/B issue
- Fix the random DMA timeout issue
- Use a single line for of_device_id
- Use of_device_get_match_data()
- Fix reference count leak in gpmi ops
- Cleanup makefile
- Fix binding matching of clocks on different SoCs
* Ingenic: remove redundant get_device() in ingenic_ecc_get()
* Intel LGM: New NAND controller driver
* Marvell: Drop useless line
* Meson:
- Fix a resource leak in init
- Fix meson_nfc_dma_buffer_release() arguments
* mxc:
- Use device_get_match_data()
- Use a single line for of_device_id
- Remove platform data support
* Qcom:
- Add support for SDX55
- Support for IPQ6018 QPIC NAND controller
- Fix DMA sync on FLASH_STATUS register read
* Rockchip: New NAND controller driver for RK3308, RK2928 and others
* Sunxi: Add MDMA support
SPI-NAND core:
* Creation of a SPI-NAND on-die ECC engine
* Move ECC related definitions earlier in the driver
* Fix typo in comment
* Fill a default ECC provider/algorithm
* Remove outdated comment
* Fix OOB read
* Allow the case where there is no ECC engine
* Use the external ECC engine logic
SPI-NAND chip drivers:
* Micron:
- Add support for MT29F2G01AAAED
- Use more specific names
* Macronix:
- Add support for MX35LFxG24AD
- Add support for MX35LFxGE4AD
Others:
* onenand: Use mtd->oops_panic_write as condition
* plat-ram: correctly free memory on error path in platram_probe()
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.
