An inspection of the DV issues arising from the change to share a single scrambling module between Flash banks revealed that there are indeed some corner cases that are not properly handled by the current design. Fixing those corner cases is tricky and may lead to further issues.

For this reason, this commit reverts the following commits for the time being:

  • [doc,flash_ctrl] Fix inconsistency and typo in documentation 3a35e26

  • [flash_ctrl] Use redundant arbiters in scrambling module a63c2d9

  • [flash_ctrl] Share flash_scrambling module among banks c95dc32

This is related to #22089.

Closing as we managed to fix the corner cases (an actual RTL bug).
