[PATCH v5 1/3] ARM: mxs: add GPMI-NFC support for imx23/imx28

Hi:

Hi Arnd,

quoted

If you really want to call out obsceneties, how about the fact that this
driver comes with an 805 line patch to add a HAL for a single chip!

Such abstractions should not be introduced as long as there is only
a single instance of the hardware.

If I understood correctly, most if not all upcoming i.MX will have the GPMI
(mx50, mx6). Huang, do you already have a draft for the mx50-hal?

I have finished the code for mx50's GPMI.
And I am coding for the MX6's GPMI recently.

I need a separate mx50-hal (or mx60-hal) to make the code tidy.
The MX50 and mx60 support ONFI NAND and TOGGLE nand(which mx23/mx28 do 
not support),
they need a long code to initialize the TIMING register. What's more, 
the READ/WRITE functions
are different from the mx23/mx28.

Frankly speaking, I can merge the mxs-hal.c file to the gpmi-nfc.c, but 
don't you think it too
messy?

Huang Shijie
