From b4af7d194dc879353829f3c56988a68fbba1fbdd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David LaPorte Date: Thu, 29 Jan 2026 17:33:22 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] mtd: spinand: Disable continuous read during probe Macronix serial NAND devices with continuous read support do not clear the configuration register on soft reset and lack a hardware reset pin. When continuous read is interrupted (e.g., during reboot), the feature remains enabled at the device level. With continuous read enabled, the OOB area becomes inaccessible and all reads are instead directed to the main area. As a result, during partition allocation as part of MTD device registration, the first two bytes of the main area for the master block are read and indicate that the block is bad. This process repeats for every subsequent block for the partition. All reads and writes that reference the BBT find no good blocks and fail. The only paths for recovery from this state are triggering the continuous read feature by way of raw MTD reads or through a NAND device power drain. Disable continuous read explicitly during spinand probe to ensure quiescent feature state.
