The general-purpose media interface(GPMI) controller is a flexible interface
to up to several NAND flashs.

To Walfram & Artem:
    About how to disable the JFFS2 to use the OOB:
    I read the code, and I still have no idea about how to use the ecclayout
    to do the job. Could you give me some hint? thanks.

Have you checked mxc_nand.c for example? There is

static struct nand_ecclayout nandv1_hw_eccoob_smallpage = {
        .eccbytes = 5,
        .eccpos = {6, 7, 8, 9, 10},
        .oobfree = {{0, 5}, {12, 4}, }
}

defined as one layout. Now, you could define one where oobfree is empty and
eccbytes as big as the oob-area.

The driver depends on another GPMI-NAND device patch set, you can find them at :

The driver also depends on another DMA patch by Shawn:

This makes it difficult for testers/reviewers. Please try to get a git-branch
from Freescale or Linaro.

	[4] DMA timeout issue. I use the .config created by `make mxs_defconfig`
	    and the bug never occur. It seems some other module has impact to the
	    DMA.

Sadly, I can't confirm that. DMA timeout happens with my config as well as with
the mxs_defconfig. ubiformat breaks immediately when trying to write.

Problem is that I am away from my dev-machine for a few days. I can do limited
tests remotely but not develop actively right now. But if you need logs...

Thanks,

   Wolfram
