On many older systems using SW sequencer the PREOP_OPTYPE register
contains two preopcodes as following:
PREOP_OPTYPE=0xf2785006
The last two bytes are the opcodes decoded to:
0x50 - Write enable for volatile status register
0x06 - Write enable
The former is used to modify volatile bits in the status register. For
non-volatile bits the latter is needed. Preopcodes are used in SW
sequencer to send one command "atomically" without anything else
interfering the transfer. The sequence that gets executed is:
- Send preopcode (write enable) from PREOP_OPTYPE register
- Send the actual SPI command
- Poll busy bit in the status register (0x05, RDSR)
Commit 8c473dd61b ("spi-nor: intel-spi: Don't assume OPMENU0/1 to be
programmed by BIOS") enabled atomic sequence handling but because both
preopcodes are programmed, the following happens:
if (preop >> 8)
val |= SSFSTS_CTL_SPOP;
Since on these systems preop >> 8 == 0x50 we end up picking volatile
write enable instead. Because of this the actual write command is pretty
much NOP unless there is a WREN latched in the chip already.
Furthermore we should not really just assume that WREN was issued in
previous call to intel_spi_write_reg() because that might not be the
case.
This updates driver to first check that the opcode is actually available
in PREOP_OPTYPE register and if not return error back to the spi-nor
core (if the controller is not locked we program it now). In addition we
save the opcode to ispi->atomic_preopcode field which is checked in next
call to intel_spi_sw_cycle() to actually enable atomic sequence using
the requested preopcode.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
