1* Broadcom STB NAND Controller
2
3The Broadcom Set-Top Box NAND controller supports low-level access to raw NAND
4flash chips. It has a memory-mapped register interface for both control
5registers and for its data input/output buffer. On some SoCs, this controller is
6paired with a custom DMA engine (inventively named "Flash DMA") which supports
7basic PROGRAM and READ functions, among other features.
8
9This controller was originally designed for STB SoCs (BCM7xxx) but is now
10available on a variety of Broadcom SoCs, including some BCM3xxx, BCM63xx, and
11iProc/Cygnus. Its history includes several similar (but not fully register
12compatible) versions.
13
14Required properties:
15- compatible       : May contain an SoC-specific compatibility string (see below)
16                     to account for any SoC-specific hardware bits that may be
17                     added on top of the base core controller.
18                     In addition, must contain compatibility information about
19                     the core NAND controller, of the following form:
20                     "brcm,brcmnand" and an appropriate version compatibility
21                     string, like "brcm,brcmnand-v7.0"
22                     Possible values:
23                         brcm,brcmnand-v2.1
24                         brcm,brcmnand-v2.2

35- reg              : the register start and length for NAND register region.
36                     (optional) Flash DMA register range (if present)
37                     (optional) NAND flash cache range (if at non-standard offset)
38- reg-names        : a list of the names corresponding to the previous register
39                     ranges. Should contain "nand" and (optionally)
40                     "flash-dma" or "flash-edu" and/or "nand-cache".
41- interrupts       : The NAND CTLRDY interrupt, (if Flash DMA is available)

43- interrupt-names  : May be "nand_ctlrdy" or "flash_dma_done" or "flash_edu_done",
44                     if broken out as individual interrupts.
45                     May be "nand", if the SoC has the individual NAND
46                     interrupts multiplexed behind another custom piece of
47                     hardware
48- #address-cells   : <1> - subnodes give the chip-select number
49- #size-cells      : <0>

53- clock-names               : "nand" (required for the above clock)
54- brcm,nand-has-wp          : Some versions of this IP include a write-protect
55                              (WP) control bit. It is always available on >=
56                              v7.0. Use this property to describe the rare
57                              earlier versions of this core that include WP
58
59 -- Additional SoC-specific NAND controller properties --
60
61The NAND controller is integrated differently on the variety of SoCs on which it
62is found. Part of this integration involves providing status and enable bits
63with which to control the 8 exposed NAND interrupts, as well as hardware for
64configuring the endianness of the data bus. On some SoCs, these features are
65handled via standard, modular components (e.g., their interrupts look like a
66normal IRQ chip), but on others, they are controlled in unique and interesting
67ways, sometimes with registers that lump multiple NAND-related functions
68together. The former case can be described simply by the standard interrupts
69properties in the main controller node. But for the latter exceptional cases,
70we define additional 'compatible' properties and associated register resources within the NAND controller node above.
71
72 - compatible: Can be one of several SoC-specific strings. Each SoC may have
73   different requirements for its additional properties, as described below each
74   bullet point below.
75
76   * "brcm,nand-bcm63138"
77     - reg: (required) the 'NAND_INT_BASE' register range, with separate status
78       and enable registers
79     - reg-names: (required) "nand-int-base"
80
81   * "brcm,nand-bcm6368"
82     - compatible: should contain "brcm,nand-bcm<soc>", "brcm,nand-bcm6368"
83     - reg: (required) the 'NAND_INTR_BASE' register range, with combined status
84       and enable registers, and boot address registers
85     - reg-names: (required) "nand-int-base"
86
87   * "brcm,nand-iproc"
88     - reg: (required) the "IDM" register range, for interrupt enable and APB
89       bus access endianness configuration, and the "EXT" register range,
90       for interrupt status/ack.
91     - reg-names: (required) a list of the names corresponding to the previous
92       register ranges. Should contain "iproc-idm" and "iproc-ext".
93
94
95* NAND chip-select
96
97Each controller (compatible: "brcm,brcmnand") may contain one or more subnodes
98to represent enabled chip-selects which (may) contain NAND flash chips. Their
99properties are as follows.
100
101Required properties:
102- compatible                : should contain "brcm,nandcs"
103- reg                       : a single integer representing the chip-select
104                              number (e.g., 0, 1, 2, etc.)
105- #address-cells            : see partition.txt
106- #size-cells               : see partition.txt
107
108Optional properties:
109- nand-ecc-strength         : see nand-controller.yaml
110- nand-ecc-step-size        : must be 512 or 1024. See nand-controller.yaml
111- nand-on-flash-bbt         : boolean, to enable the on-flash BBT for this
112                              chip-select. See nand-controller.yaml
113- brcm,nand-oob-sector-size : integer, to denote the spare area sector size
114                              expected for the ECC layout in use. This size, in
115                              addition to the strength and step-size,
116                              determines how the hardware BCH engine will lay
117                              out the parity bytes it stores on the flash.
118                              This property can be automatically determined by
119                              the flash geometry (particularly the NAND page
120                              and OOB size) in many cases, but when booting
121                              from NAND, the boot controller has only a limited
122                              number of available options for its default ECC
123                              layout.
124
125Each nandcs device node may optionally contain sub-nodes describing the flash
126partition mapping. See partition.txt for more detail.
