Hi community,
This issue relates to the device initialisation of an SPI flash IC.
I'm using a cm-bf537e board, hooked up to a Spansion S25FL064A flash chip (SPI), using chip select 1. I have a recent uClinux from trunk (svn 7843). The kernel and board/platform data are configured as per the wiki:
http://docs.blackfin.uclinux.org/doku.php?id=hw:cards:spi_flash
At boot time, my device isn't recognised:
m25p80 spi0.1: found m25p80, expected s25sl064a
I had this working correctly on 2008R1.5.
Incidentally, I disabled SPI/MMC to eliminate any possible conflicts.
This warning displayed is misleading, since a check with a scope reveals that chip select 1 isn't being toggled at any point during the boot process. I did, however, manage to get the chip select line to operate, but only by changing the mode to SPI_MODE_0. But the device still wasn't recognised. Incidentally, I have pull-ups on MOSI, MISO, and SCK, but not the chip select.
My kernel configs follow (I included support for CFI/JEDEC flash devices):

It seems that the m25p driver isn't talking to the SPI framework properly, but if that's the case then I'm surprised no-one else on the forum has encountered this.
Any thoughts appreciated.
Thanks,
Tim

Tim:
I don't have a SPI flash card on me - or I would test it out. - someone will have a look on Monday.

I just tested with a m25p64 spi flash chip on svn trunk, on BF537-STAMP, it works ok:
"m25p80 spi0.1: m25p64 (8192 Kbytes)
Creating 3 MTD partitions on "m25p80":
0x00000000-0x00040000 : "bootloader(spi)"
0x00040000-0x001c0000 : "linux kernel(spi)"
0x001c0000-0x00800000 : "file system(spi)""
I don't have a S25FL064A flash to test with..
