ENGR00257947 mtd: use memcpy to replace the memcpy_fromio
During the read of NOR, the kernel actually calls the inline_map_copy_from()
to read the data out. And inline_map_copy_from() will use the memcpy_fromio()
to do the real job.
The memcpy_fromio macro maps _memcpy_fromio() in the current code.
But the _memcpy_fromio() will use readb() to do the copy work one byte
by one byte. This makes the read performance of NOR very slow(about 2~3MB/s).
A similiar discussion could be found in:
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2009-November/003860.html
This patch replace the memcpy_fromio with memcpy which is optimized by the
kernel.
The following is the result from mtd_speedtest with M29W256GL7AN6E:
