mtd: spi-nor: scale up timeout for full-chip erase
This patch fixes timeout issues seen on large NOR flash (e.g., 16MB w25q128fw) when using ioctl(MEMERASE) with offset=0 and length=16M. The input parameters matter because spi_nor_erase() uses a different code path for full-chip erase, where we use the SPINOR_OP_CHIP_ERASE (0xc7) opcode. Fix: use a different timeout for full-chip erase than for other commands. While most operations can be expected to perform relatively similarly across a variety of NOR flash types and sizes (and therefore might as well use a similar timeout to keep things simple), full-chip erase is unique, because the time it typically takes to complete: (1) is much larger than most operations and (2) scales with the size of the flash. Let's base our timeout on the original comments stuck here -- that a 2MB flash requires max 40s to erase. Small survey of a few flash datasheets I have lying around: Chip Size (MB) Max chip erase (seconds) ---- -------- ------------------------ w25q32fw 4 50 w25q64cv 8 30 w25q64fw 8 100 w25q128fw 16 200 s25fl128s 16 ~256 s25fl256s 32 ~512 From this data, it seems plenty sufficient to say we need to wait for 40 seconds for each 2MB of flash. After this change, it might make some sense to decrease the timeout for everything else, as even the most extreme operations (single block erase?) shouldn't take more than a handful of seconds. But for safety, let's leave it as-is. It's only an error case, after all, so we don't exactly need to optimize it.
