Why This File Exists

Repeatable hardware-adapter layer. Deep compatibility for every driver is out of scope; this atlas records patterns, probe lifecycles, bus glue, IRQ/DMA usage, and links back to core abstractions.

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

config MTD_JEDECPROBE
	tristate "Detect non-CFI AMD/JEDEC-compatible flash chips"
	select MTD_GEN_PROBE
	select MTD_CFI_UTIL
	help
	  This option enables JEDEC-style probing of flash chips which are not
	  compatible with the Common Flash Interface, but will use the common
	  CFI-targeted flash drivers for any chips which are identified which
	  are in fact compatible in all but the probe method. This actually
	  covers most AMD/Fujitsu-compatible chips and also non-CFI
	  Intel chips.

	depends on MTD_GEN_PROBE
	help
	  If you need to specify a specific endianness for access to flash
	  chips, or if you wish to reduce the size of the kernel by including
	  support for only specific arrangements of flash chips, say 'Y'. This
	  option does not directly affect the code, but will enable other
	  configuration options which allow you to do so.

	  If unsure, say 'N'.

	default MTD_CFI_NOSWAP
	help
	  This option defines the way in which the CPU attempts to arrange
	  data bits when writing the 'magic' commands to the chips. Saying
	  'NO', which is the default when CONFIG_MTD_CFI_ADV_OPTIONS isn't
	  enabled, means that the CPU will not do any swapping; the chips
	  are expected to be wired to the CPU in 'host-endian' form.
	  Specific arrangements are possible with the BIG_ENDIAN_BYTE and
	  LITTLE_ENDIAN_BYTE, if the bytes are reversed.
