SPI flashes sometimes have a special OTP area, which can (and is) used to
store immutable properties like board serial number or vendor assigned
network hardware addresses.
The MTD subsystem already supports accessing such areas and some (non
SPI NOR) flashes already implement support for it. It differentiates
between user and factory areas. User areas can be written by the user and
factory ones are pre-programmed and locked down by the vendor, usually
containing an "electrical serial number". This patch will only add support
for the user areas.
Lay the foundation and implement the MTD callbacks for the SPI NOR and add
necessary parameters to the flash_info structure. If a flash supports OTP
it can be added by the convenience macro OTP_INFO(). Sometimes there are
individual regions, which might have individual offsets. Therefore, it is
possible to specify the starting address of the first regions as well as
the distance between two regions (e.g. Winbond devices uses this method).
Additionally, the regions might be locked down. Once locked, no further
write access is possible.
For SPI NOR flashes the OTP area is accessed like the normal memory, e.g.
by offset addressing; except that you either have to use special read/write
commands (Winbond) or you have to enter (and exit) a specific OTP mode
(Macronix, Micron).
Thus we introduce four operations to which the MTD callbacks will be
mapped: .read(), .write(), .lock() and .is_locked(). The read and the write
ops will be given an address offset to operate on while the locking ops use
regions because locking always affects a whole region. It is up to the
flash driver to implement these ops.
