2014-09-17mtd: bcm47xxpart: find NVRAM partitions in middle blocksRafał Miłecki1-0/+11
Old devices used to have NVRAM at the very end of flash and they could be unaligned (starting at some offset in a block). In new devices NVRAM can be located quite randomly, however it seems to always start at the beginning of a block. For example Netgear R6250 has NVRAM located right after the bootloader, before the kernel partition.

2014-03-10mtd: bcm47xxpart: allow enabling on ARCH_BCM_5301XRafał Miłecki1-1/+1
Home routers based on SoCs like BCM53010 (AKA BCM4708) use flashes which can be nicely partitioned with bcm47xxpart. Header bcm47xx_nvram.h is not available on bcm53xx, so don't include it. Signed-off-by: Rafał Miłecki <zajec5@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Brian Norris <computersforpeace@gmail.com>
2014-03-10mtd: bcm47xxpart: avoid overflowing when registering trxRafał Miłecki1-0/+5
Our code parsing "trx" header registers few partitions at once (in one loop iteration). Add extra check in that place. Signed-off-by: Rafał Miłecki <zajec5@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Brian Norris <computersforpeace@gmail.com>

2014-01-07mtd: bcm47xxpart: alternative MAGIC for board_data partitionRafał Miłecki1-0/+16
Some devices (like WNDR3700v3) have board_data without MPFR magic, some extra header or extra NVRAM around 0x100. In such case we have to look for another magic which is BD 0B 0D BD (BD probably stands for Board Data). It's located "far far away", so instead of extending buffer add another mtd_read.

2013-11-06mtd: bcm47xxpart: detect block aligned Squashfs partitionRafał Miłecki1-0/+8
Most of the bcm47xx devices use TRX format for storing kernel and some partition like Squashfs or JFFS2. This is pretty flexible solution, CFE (the bootloader) just writes (and later boots) TRX at some hardcoded place and paritions can vary in the size. However some devices don't use TRX format. Very recently we have discovered ZTE H218N that has kernel and rootfs partitions at some "random" places. This patch allows Linux find a rootfs partition after installing custom image with a CFE bootloader.

2013-03-08mtd: bcm47xxpart: look for NVRAM at the end of deviceRafał Miłecki1-7/+25
NVRAM is always placed at the end of device and it does not have to start at the beginning of a block, so check few possible offsets. Signed-off-by: Rafał Miłecki <zajec5@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com>
2013-03-08Revert "mtd: bcm47xxpart: improve probing of nvram partition"Rafał Miłecki1-13/+9
This reverts commit be3781b71ac03723b552dc156931620634ef1b22. Some CFE bootloaders have NVRAM at offset 0x1000. With that patch we were detecting such a bootloaders as a standard NVRAM partition. Changing anything in this pseudo-NVRAM resulted in corrupted bootloader and bricked device! Signed-off-by: Rafał Miłecki <zajec5@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com>

2013-02-04mtd: bcm47xxpart: improve probing of nvram partitionHauke Mehrtens1-9/+13
The nvram in the nvram partition does not start at the beginning of the partition on every device. Sometimes they are stating in the middle of a partition or the first 0x1000 bytes are free.

2012-09-29mtd: bcm47part driver for BCM47XX chipsetsRafał Miłecki1-0/+202
This driver provides parser detecting partitions on BCM47XX flash memories. It has many differences in comparison to BCM63XX, like: 1) Different CFE with no more trivial MAGICs 2) More partitions types (board_data, ML, POT) 3) Supporting more than 1 flash on a device which resulted in decision of writing new parser. It uses generic mtd interface and was successfully tested with Netgear WNDR4500 router which has 2 flash memories: serial one and NAND one.
