On a typical end product, a vendor may choose to secure some regions in the NAND memory which are supposed to stay intact between FW upgrades. The access to those regions will be blocked by a secure element like Trustzone. So the normal world software like Linux kernel should not touch these regions (including reading).
So this series adds a property for declaring such secure regions in DT so that the driver can skip touching them. While at it, the Qcom NANDc DT binding is also converted to YAML format. Thanks, Mani Changes in v10: * Added Rob's review tag for binding Changes in v9: Based on review comments from Miquel: * Fixed the secure-regions check * Renamed the function to nand_region_is_secured() and used bool return * Moved the parsing function to nand_scan() * Added a patch to fix nand_cleanup in qcom driver Changes in v8: * Reworked the secure region check logic based on input from Boris * Removed the check where unnecessary in rawnand core. Changes in v7: * Made "size" u64 and fixed a warning reported by Kernel test bot Changes in v6: * Made use of "size" of the regions for comparision * Used "secure" instead of "sec" * Fixed the sizeof parameter in of_get_nand_secure_regions() Changes in v5: * Switched to "uint64-matrix" as suggested by Rob * Moved the whole logic from qcom driver to nand core as suggested by Boris Changes in v4: * Used "uint32-matrix" instead of "uint32-array" as per Rob's review. * Collected Rob's review tag for binding conversion patch Changes in v3: * Removed the nand prefix from DT property and moved the property parsing logic before nand_scan() in driver. Changes in v2: * Moved the secure-regions property to generic NAND binding as a NAND chip property and renamed it as "nand-secure-regions".
