12 The Common Flash Interface specification was developed by Intel,
13 AMD and other flash manufactures that provides a universal method
14 for probing the capabilities of flash devices. If you wish to
15 support any device that is CFI-compliant, you need to enable this
16 option. Visit <http://www.amd.com/products/nvd/overview/cfi.html>
17 for more information on CFI.

24 This option enables JEDEC-style probing of flash chips which are not
25 compatible with the Common Flash Interface, but will use the common
26 CFI-targetted flash drivers for any chips which are identified which
27 are in fact compatible in all but the probe method. This actually
28 covers most AMD/Fujitsu-compatible chips and also non-CFI
29 Intel chips.

54 This option defines the way in which the CPU attempts to arrange
55 data bits when writing the 'magic' commands to the chips. Saying
56 'NO', which is the default when CONFIG_MTD_CFI_ADV_OPTIONS isn't
57 enabled, means that the CPU will not do any swapping; the chips
58 are expected to be wired to the CPU in 'host-endian' form.
59 Specific arrangements are possible with the BIG_ENDIAN_BYTE and
60 LITTLE_ENDIAN_BYTE, if the bytes are reversed.
61
62 If you have a LART, on which the data (and address) lines were
63 connected in a fashion which ensured that the nets were as short
64 as possible, resulting in a bit-shuffling which seems utterly
65 random to the untrained eye, you need the LART_ENDIAN_BYTE option.

159 depends on MTD_CFI_ADV_OPTIONS
160 default n
161 help
162 This enables support for reading, writing and locking so called
163 "Protection Registers" present on some flash chips.
164 A subset of them are pre-programmed at the factory with a
165 unique set of values. The rest is user-programmable.
166
167 The user-programmable Protection Registers contain one-time
168 programmable (OTP) bits; when programmed, register bits cannot be
169 erased. Each Protection Register can be accessed multiple times to
170 program individual bits, as long as the register remains unlocked.
171
172 Each Protection Register has an associated Lock Register bit. When a
173 Lock Register bit is programmed, the associated Protection Register
174 can only be read; it can no longer be programmed. Additionally,
175 because the Lock Register bits themselves are OTP, when programmed,
176 Lock Register bits cannot be erased. Therefore, when a Protection
177 Register is locked, it cannot be unlocked.
178
179 This feature should therefore be used with extreme care. Any mistake
180 in the programming of OTP bits will waste them.
