Guys,
=20
How are we handling this patchset since it touches =
drivers/mtd/nand?

I do not see it touching MTD from the diffstat above. I am a little =
bit

confused why a flash controller is added to
arch/powerpc/sysdev/fsl_ifc.c ?
=20
It's really a bus controller, with NOR, NAND, and general-purpose =
modes
settable per chipselect.  The actual NAND driver goes in
drivers/mtd/nand, and is apparently in a separate patch (probably due =
to
separate maintenance domains).
=20
It's the same situation as arch/powerpc/sysdev/fsl_lbc.c versus
drivers/mtd/nand/fsl_elbc_nand.c and drivers/mtd/nand/fsl_upm.c.

As Scott said, I was more asking about the 2nd patch in the sequence =
which did touch MTD.  Since that one is dependent on this patch, =
wondering how we wanted to handle them.
