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. =20 -Scott
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. - k
