mtd: rawnand: gpmi: use core timings instead of an empirical derivation
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
GPMI driver timings derivation looks very empirical and does not use
the known timings that the core wants to use with the NAND chip, by
using local defined constants that have no special meaning from the
outside world.

Simplify the way all of this is computed and use the NAND core's SDR
timings.

Integrity of the reads/writes has been checked with nandbiterrs, speed
improvements with flash_speed on a Freescale i.MX6 DualLite/Solo SABRE
Automotive Board. Measures are below, variations of less than 150kiB/s
between tests are common and then not significant. Speeds using mode 5
are the same, while speeds using mode 0 are quite improved (+40/50%
from non-optimal computation).

Forcing timings mode 0:

=======================

Before this patch:
------------------
eraseblock write speed is 2298 KiB/s
eraseblock read speed is 3636 KiB/s
page write speed is 2136 KiB/s
page read speed is 3316 KiB/s
2 page write speed is 2199 KiB/s
2 page read speed is 3468 KiB/s

After this patch:
-----------------
eraseblock write speed is 3232 KiB/s
eraseblock read speed is 5663 KiB/s
page write speed is 2915 KiB/s
page read speed is 4904 KiB/s
2 page write speed is 3084 KiB/s
2 page read speed is 5267 KiB/s

Forcing timings mode 5:
=======================

page read speed is 12800 KiB/s
2 page write speed is 4076 KiB/s
2 page read speed is 14065 KiB/s

After this patch:
