    memory: renesas-rpc-if: Avoid unaligned bus access for HyperFlash · 1869023e
    Andrew Gabbasov authored
    HyperFlash devices in Renesas SoCs use 2-bytes addressing, according
    to HW manual paragraph 62.3.3 (which officially describes Serial Flash
    access, but seems to be applicable to HyperFlash too). And 1-byte bus
    read operations to 2-bytes unaligned addresses in external address space
    read mode work incorrectly (returns the other byte from the same word).
    
    Function memcpy_fromio(), used by the driver to read data from the bus,
    in ARM64 architecture (to which Renesas cores belong) uses 8-bytes
    bus accesses for appropriate aligned addresses, and 1-bytes accesses
    for other addresses. This results in incorrect data read from HyperFlash
    in unaligned cases.
    
    This issue can be reproduced using something like the following commands
    (where mtd1 is a parition on Hyperflash storage, defined properly
    in a device tree):
    
    [Correct fragment, read from Hyperflash]
    
        root@rcar-gen3:~# dd if=/dev/mtd1 of=/tmp/zz bs=32 count=1
        root@rcar-gen3:~# hexdump -C /tmp/zz
        00000000  f4 03 00 aa f5 03 01 aa  f6 03 02 aa f7 03 03 aa  |................|
        00000010  00 00 80 d2 40 20 18 d5  00 06 81 d2 a0 18 a6 f2  |....@ ..........|
        00000020
    
    [Incorrect read of the same fragment: see the difference at offsets 8-11]
    
        root@rcar-gen3:~# dd if=/dev/mtd1 of=/tmp/zz bs=12 count=1
        root@rcar-gen3:~# hexdump -C /tmp/zz
        00000000  f4 03 00 aa f5 03 01 aa  03 03 aa aa              |............|
        0000000c
    
    Fix this issue by creating a local replacement of the copying function,
    that performs only properly aligned bus accesses, and is used for reading
    from HyperFlash.
