Pull mtd updates from Miquel Raynal: "MTD: - Apart from preventing the mtdblk to run on top of ftl or ubiblk (which may cause security issues and has no meaning anyway), there are a few misc fixes. Raw NAND: - Two meaningful changes this time. The conversion of the brcmnand driver to the ->exec_op() API, this series brought additional changes to the core in order to help controller drivers to handle themselves the WP pin during destructive operations when relevant. - There is also a series bringing important fixes to the sequential read feature. - As always, there is as well a whole bunch of miscellaneous W=1 fixes, together with a few runtime fixes (double free, timeout value, OOB layout, missing register initialization) and the usual load of remove callbacks turned into void (which led to switch the txx9ndfmc driver to use module_platform_driver()). SPI NOR: - SPI NOR comes with die erase support for multi die flashes, with new octal protocols (1-1-8 and 1-8-8) parsed from SFDP and with an updated documentation about what the contributors shall consider when proposing flash additions or updates. - Michael Walle stepped out from the reviewer role to maintainer" * tag 'mtd/for-6.8' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mtd/linux: (39 commits) mtd: rawnand: Clarify conditions to enable continuous reads mtd: rawnand: Prevent sequential reads with on-die ECC engines mtd: rawnand: Fix core interference with sequential reads mtd: rawnand: Prevent crossing LUN boundaries during sequential reads mtd: Fix gluebi NULL pointer dereference caused by ftl notifier dt-bindings: mtd: partitions: u-boot: Fix typo mtd: rawnand: s3c2410: fix Excess struct member description kernel-doc warnings MAINTAINERS: change my mail to the kernel.org one mtd: spi-nor: sfdp: get the 1-1-8 and 1-8-8 protocol from SFDP mtd: spi-nor: drop superfluous debug prints mtd: spi-nor: sysfs: hide the flash name if not set mtd: spi-nor: mark the flash name as obsolete mtd: spi-nor: print flash ID instead of name mtd: maps: vmu-flash: Fix the (mtd core) switch to ref counters mtd: ssfdc: Remove an unused variable mtd: rawnand: diskonchip: fix a potential double free in doc_probe mtd: rawnand: rockchip: Add missing title to a kernel doc comment mtd: rawnand: rockchip: Rename a structure mtd: rawnand: pl353: Fix kernel doc mtd: spi-nor: micron-st: Add support for mt25qu01g ...

SPI NOR framework
=================
-Part I - Why do we need this framework?
----------------------------------------
-
-SPI bus controllers (drivers/spi/) only deal with streams of bytes; the bus
-controller operates agnostic of the specific device attached. However, some
-controllers (such as Freescale's QuadSPI controller) cannot easily handle
-arbitrary streams of bytes, but rather are designed specifically for SPI NOR.
-
-In particular, Freescale's QuadSPI controller must know the NOR commands to
-find the right LUT sequence. Unfortunately, the SPI subsystem has no notion of
-opcodes, addresses, or data payloads; a SPI controller simply knows to send or
-receive bytes (Tx and Rx). Therefore, we must define a new layering scheme under
-which the controller driver is aware of the opcodes, addressing, and other
-details of the SPI NOR protocol.
-
-Part II - How does the framework work?
---------------------------------------
-
-This framework just adds a new layer between the MTD and the SPI bus driver.
-With this new layer, the SPI NOR controller driver does not depend on the
-m25p80 code anymore.
-
-Before this framework, the layer is like::
-
- MTD
- ------------------------
- m25p80
- ------------------------
- SPI bus driver
- ------------------------
- SPI NOR chip
-
-After this framework, the layer is like::
-
- MTD
- ------------------------
- SPI NOR framework
- ------------------------
- m25p80
- ------------------------
- SPI bus driver
- ------------------------
- SPI NOR chip
-
-With the SPI NOR controller driver (Freescale QuadSPI), it looks like::
-
- MTD
- ------------------------
- SPI NOR framework
- ------------------------
- fsl-quadSPI
- ------------------------
- SPI NOR chip
-
-Part III - How can drivers use the framework?
----------------------------------------------
-
-The main API is spi_nor_scan(). Before you call the hook, a driver should
-initialize the necessary fields for spi_nor{}. Please see
-drivers/mtd/spi-nor/spi-nor.c for detail. Please also refer to spi-fsl-qspi.c
-when you want to write a new driver for a SPI NOR controller.
+How to propose a new flash addition
+-----------------------------------
+
+Most SPI NOR flashes comply with the JEDEC JESD216
+Serial Flash Discoverable Parameter (SFDP) standard. SFDP describes
+the functional and feature capabilities of serial flash devices in a
+standard set of internal read-only parameter tables.
+
+The SPI NOR driver queries the SFDP tables in order to determine the
+flash's parameters and settings. If the flash defines the SFDP tables
+it's likely that you won't need a flash entry at all, and instead
+rely on the generic flash driver which probes the flash solely based
+on its SFDP data. All one has to do is to specify the "jedec,spi-nor"
+compatible in the device tree.
+
+There are cases however where you need to define an explicit flash
+entry. This typically happens when the flash has settings or support
+that is not covered by the SFDP tables (e.g. Block Protection), or
+when the flash contains mangled SFDP data. If the later, one needs
+to implement the ``spi_nor_fixups`` hooks in order to amend the SFDP
+parameters with the correct values.
+
+Minimum testing requirements
+-----------------------------
+
+Do all the tests from below and paste them in the commit's comments
+section, after the ``---`` marker.
+
+1) Specify the controller that you used to test the flash and specify
+ the frequency at which the flash was operated, e.g.::
+
+ This flash is populated on the X board and was tested at Y
+ frequency using the Z (put compatible) SPI controller.
+
+2) Dump the sysfs entries and print the md5/sha1/sha256 SFDP checksum::

+
+ Please dump the SFDP tables using ``xxd -p``. It enables us to do
+ the reverse operation and convert the hexdump to binary with
+ ``xxd -rp``. Dumping the SFDP data with ``hexdump -Cv`` is accepted,
+ but less desirable.

+4) Use `mtd-utils <https://git.infradead.org/mtd-utils.git>`__

+ If the flash comes erased by default and the previous erase was ignored,
