mtd: spear_smi: Fix Write Burst mode
commit 69c7f4618c16b4678f8a4949b6bb5ace259c0033 upstream. Any write with either dd or flashcp to a device driven by the spear_smi.c driver will pass through the spear_smi_cpy_toio() function. This function will get called for chunks of up to 256 bytes. If the amount of data is smaller, we may have a problem if the data length is not 4-byte aligned. In this situation, the kernel panics during the memcpy: # dd if=/dev/urandom bs=1001 count=1 of=/dev/mtd6 spear_smi_cpy_toio [620] dest c9070000, src c7be8800, len 256 spear_smi_cpy_toio [620] dest c9070100, src c7be8900, len 256 spear_smi_cpy_toio [620] dest c9070200, src c7be8a00, len 256 spear_smi_cpy_toio [620] dest c9070300, src c7be8b00, len 233 Unhandled fault: external abort on non-linefetch (0x808) at 0xc90703e8 [...] PC is at memcpy+0xcc/0x330 The above error occurs because the implementation of memcpy_toio() tries to optimize the number of I/O by writing 4 bytes at a time as much as possible, until there are less than 4 bytes left and then switches to word or byte writes. Unfortunately, the specification states about the Write Burst mode: "the next AHB Write request should point to the next incremented address and should have the same size (byte, half-word or word)" This means ARM architecture implementation of memcpy_toio() cannot reliably be used blindly here. Workaround this situation by update the write path to stick to byte access when the burst length is not multiple of 4.
