2009-06-06mtd: physmap_of: Add multiple regions and concatenation supportStefan Roese
This patch adds support to handle multiple non-identical chips in one flash device tree node. It also adds concat support to physmap_of. This makes it possible to support e.g. the Intel P30 48F4400 chips which internally consists of 2 non-identical NOR chips on one die. Additionally partitions now can span over multiple chips. To describe such a chip's, multiple "reg" tuples are now supported in one flash device tree node. Here an dts example: flash@f0000000,0 { #address-cells = <1>; #size-cells = <1>; compatible = "cfi-flash"; reg = <0 0x00000000 0x02000000 0 0x02000000 0x02000000>; bank-width = <2>; partition@0 { label = "test-part1"; reg = <0 0x04000000>; }; }; Signed-off-by: Stefan Roese <sr@denx.de> Reviewed-by: Grant Likely <grant.likely@secretlab.ca> Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com>

2009-06-05mtd: uclinux: allow systems to override map addr/sizeMike Frysinger
Due to a processor anomaly (05000263 to be exact), most Blackfin parts cannot keep the embedded filesystem image directly after the kernel in RAM. Instead, the filesystem needs to be relocated to the end of memory. As such, we need to tweak the map addr/size during boot for Blackfin systems. This can be done in any early arch/board init code.

Add optional callback to allow platform to initialize partitions. Static partitions on a nand device could vary depending on the size of the device. This patch allows an optional platform callback to be used to setup this partition information at runtime. Scan order is: 1) chip.part_probe_types 2) chip.set_parts 3) chip.partitions 4) full mtd device (fallback for no partitions) Some of the existing nand drivers could possibly be replaced by the plat_nand driver by using this patch.

There is a logic error in "whole chip erase" for the m25p80 family.

This patch corrects that. Also, the MAX_READY_WAIT_COUNT is insufficient for an m25p16 connected to a 400 MHz powerpc. Increasing it allows me to successfully program the device on my board.

2009-04-19mtd: expose subpage size via sysfsArtem Bityutskiy
MTD has got sysfs support in 2.6.30-rc1. But subpage size is not exposed there - do this. UBI utilities badly need this parameter. At the moment there is no way to get subpage size - ioctls do not return it. And we just got sysfs support, so we can easilly extend it with this additional parameter. This can be merged late in the development cycle because: 1. sysfs support has been just added - there are no users for it so far, even. 2. UBI utilities really need this parameter, and it is better not to delay this. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com> Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com>
