Kind of odd that the attribute only exists if the system booted from the second flash, but if that is what you want I won't object. Just make sure that this is explained properly.Perhaps dts configuration option would be better solution for it then? "force- cs0-switch" as example? Also, if it would be an option, dtbindings/wdt file for
You said earlier that this can not be done automatically but _must_ be done from user space after the system has booted. Otherwise you could just automatically switch to cs0 when the driver probes. As I said, all I am asking for is proper documentation. Guenter
documentation will be the right place for it. Usage of this at side 0 will not get any good/bad results, it just makes user confused, so I decided to put it only at side 1. It works only for ast2400/2500 board unfortunately, for 2600 there is big difference in switching mechanism. Any other thoughts how to make it better? Thanks.
