    mtd: cfi_cmdset_0002: Disable buffered writes for AMD chip 0x2201 · 7e440411
    Mauri Sandberg authored
    Buffer writes do not work with AMD chip 0x2201. The chip in question
    is a AMD/Spansion/Cypress Semiconductor S29GL256N and datasheet [1]
    talks about writing buffers being possible. While waiting for a neater
    solution resort to writing word-sized chunks only.
    
    Without the patch kernel logs will be flooded with entries like below:
    
    jffs2_scan_eraseblock(): End of filesystem marker found at 0x0
    jffs2_build_filesystem(): unlocking the mtd device...
    done.
    jffs2_build_filesystem(): erasing all blocks after the end marker...
    MTD do_write_buffer_wait(): software timeout, address:0x01ec000a.
    jffs2: Write clean marker to block at 0x01920000 failed: -5
    MTD do_write_buffer_wait(): software timeout, address:0x01e2000a.
    jffs2: Write clean marker to block at 0x01880000 failed: -5
    MTD do_write_buffer_wait(): software timeout, address:0x01e0000a.
    jffs2: Write clean marker to block at 0x01860000 failed: -5
    MTD do_write_buffer_wait(): software timeout, address:0x01dc000a.
    jffs2: Write clean marker to block at 0x01820000 failed: -5
    MTD do_write_buffer_wait(): software timeout, address:0x01da000a.
    jffs2: Write clean marker to block at 0x01800000 failed: -5
    ...
    
    Tested on a Buffalo wzr-hp-g300nh running kernel 5.10.16.
