From f251b8dfdd0721255ea11751cdc282834e43b74e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Matthieu CASTET Date: Mon, 5 Nov 2012 15:00:44 +0100 Subject: mtd: nand_wait: warn if the nand is busy on exit This patch allow to detect buggy driver/hardware with bad RnB (dev_ready) management or when timeout occurs in polling mode. This works when dev_ready is set or not set. There are 2 methods to wait for an erase/program command completion: 1. Wait until nand RnB pin goes high (that's what chip->dev_ready usually does) 2. Poll the device: send a status (0x70) command and read status byte in a loop until bit NAND_STATUS_READY is set In all cases, you should send a status command after completion, to check if the operation was successful. And if the operation completed, the status should have bit NAND_STATUS_READY set.
