Signed-off-by: Pavel Machek <redacted>Ping? Two partitions at same place are bad news...Please expand on "bad news"? What are the runtime effects of this change? Decisions about which kernel(s) to patch depend on this info.Well... two partitions at same place. If you use one, you will corrupt information on the other one. OTOH this moves partition around (so that they don't overlap) so it is probably not stable candidate. I guess this is not huge issue; people using these boards probably have custom dts changes, anyway...Or no one's even using it anymore. I can take this via powerpc, I won't mark it for stable etc.It became: Author: Pavel Machek [off-list ref] powerpc/sequoia: Fix NAND partitions not to overlap Currently the DTS defines two partitions at the same addresses, if you use one, you will corrupt information on the other one. Fix it by shifting the second partition.

I can just ignore it, but I think it's preferable if they match.Sorry about that (I have automatic scripts changing From:). It is still me, but I guess denx should get the credit here, so you can use. Signed-off-by: Pavel Machek <redacted>
Sure, done. cheers
