    mtd: nand: fix Samsung SLC detection regression · 6924d99f
    Brian Norris authored
    This patch fixes errors seen in identifying old Samsung SLC, due to the
    following commits:
    
        commit e2d3a35e
        mtd: nand: detect Samsung K9GBG08U0A, K9GAG08U0F ID
    
        commit e3b88bd6
        mtd: nand: add generic READ ID length calculation functions
    
    Some Samsung NAND with "5-byte" ID really appear to have 6-byte IDs, with
    wraparound like:
    
      Samsung K9K8G08U0D
      ec d3 51 95 58 ec ec d3
    
      Samsung K9F1G08U0C
      ec f1 00 95 40 ec ec f1
    
      Samsung K9F2G08U0B
      ec da 10 95 44 00 ec da
    
    This bad wraparound makes it hard to reliably detect the difference
    between Samsung SLC with 5-byte ID and Samsung SLC with 6-byte ID.
    
    The fix is to, for now, only use the new Samsung table for MLC. We
    cannot support the new SLC (K9FAG08U0M) until Samsung gives better ID
    decode information.
    
    Note that this applies in addition to the previous regression fix:
    
        commit bc86cf7a
    
    
        mtd: nand: fix Samsung SLC NAND identification regression
    
    Together, these patches completely restore the previous detection
    behavior so that we cannot see any more regressions in Samsung SLC NAND
    (finger crossed). With luck, I can get a hold of a Samsung
    representative and stop having to cross my fingers eventually.
