mtd: avoid stack overflow in MTD CFI code
When map_word gets too large, we use a lot of kernel stack, and for MTD_MAP_BANK_WIDTH_32, this means we use more than the recommended 1024 bytes in a number of functions: drivers/mtd/chips/cfi_cmdset_0020.c: In function 'cfi_staa_write_buffers': drivers/mtd/chips/cfi_cmdset_0020.c:651:1: warning: the frame size of 1336 bytes is larger than 1024 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=] drivers/mtd/chips/cfi_cmdset_0020.c: In function 'cfi_staa_erase_varsize': drivers/mtd/chips/cfi_cmdset_0020.c:972:1: warning: the frame size of 1208 bytes is larger than 1024 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=] drivers/mtd/chips/cfi_cmdset_0001.c: In function 'do_write_buffer': drivers/mtd/chips/cfi_cmdset_0001.c:1835:1: warning: the frame size of 1240 bytes is larger than 1024 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=] This can be avoided if all operations on the map word are done indirectly and the stack gets reused between the calls. We can mostly achieve this by selecting MTD_COMPLEX_MAPPINGS whenever MTD_MAP_BANK_WIDTH_32 is set, but for the case that no other bank width is enabled, we also need to use a non-constant map_bankwidth() to convince the compiler to use less stack. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> [Brian: this patch mostly achieves its goal by forcing MTD_COMPLEX_MAPPINGS (and the accompanying indirection) for 256-bit mappings; the rest of the change is mostly a wash, though it helps reduce stack size slightly. If we really care about supporting 256-bit mappings though, we should consider rewriting some of this code to avoid keeping and assigning so many 256-bit objects on the stack.] Signed-off-by: Brian Norris <computersforpeace@gmail.com>
