Nack, breaking ABI Is not allowed in Linux.I could not understand your point. Can you please elaborate. How does this patch break ABI
You are changing data structure (struct nand_ecclayout) used for in MTD ioctl. Tha ioctl is part of the Linux ABI. By changing the data structure, you are breaking the ABI. This means that current binaries would stop working with newer versions of the Linux kernel if we'd accept your patch. -- Best Regards, Artem Bityutskiy (???????? ?????)
