[ Upstream commit 4754eab7e5a78bdefe7a960c5c260c95ebbb5fa6 ]
Steven Maddox reported in the OpenWrt bugzilla, that his RaidSonic IB-NAS4220-B was no longer booting with the new OpenWrt 21.02 (uses linux 5.10's device-tree). However, it was working with the previous OpenWrt 19.07 series (uses 4.14).
|[ 5.548038] No RedBoot partition table detected in 30000000.flash |[ 5.618553] Searching for RedBoot partition table in 30000000.flash at offset 0x0 |[ 5.739093] No RedBoot partition table detected in 30000000.flash |... |[ 7.039504] Waiting for root device /dev/mtdblock3...
The provided bootlog shows that the RedBoot partition parser was looking for the partition table "at offset 0x0". Which is strange since the comment in the device-tree says it should be at 0xfe0000.
Further digging on the internet led to a review site that took some useful PCB pictures of their review unit back in February 2009. Their picture shows a Spansion S29GL128N11TFI01 flash chip.
From Spansion's Datasheet:
"S29GL128N: One hundred twenty-eight 64 Kword (128 Kbyte) sectors" Steven also provided a "cat /sys/class/mtd/mtd0/erasesize" from his unit: "131072".
With the 128 KiB Sector/Erasesize in mind. This patch changes the fis-index-block property to (0xfe0000 / 0x20000) = 0x7f.
