[PATCH 27/74] ST SPEAr : NAND interface driver for spear platforms

From: Armando Visconti <hidden>
Date: 2010-09-02 08:52:28

Alessandro,
quoted
Alessandro can judge on this, but I have a feeling that driver
should be replaced by this, more mature driver.
  
Maybe.
But I suspect that may be few differences in the ECC accelerator 
inside, in fact.

In our FSMC previous case it was a Hamming accelerator, and I think 
this apply
also for nomadik (maybe). In our sp1300 case it is a BCH with 104 
bytes of ECC.

This is one of the options when generating the h/w block, so FSMCs may 
differ.
If we want to re-use same driver I guess we might change something and 
accept
few parameters from the platform.

Vipin can for sure comment more on this.....
Mmmh .... it seems that the driver already handles the different types 
of h/w ecc.
And in fact it works for our new and old SPEAr platform at the same
time.

So, probably, it would work for Nomadik also...

Ciao,
Arm

Rgds,
