Dear Matt,

If I try to copy from Ram to dataflash, u-boot says "Copy to Flash..." and the CPU pukes; it's detecting what it thinks is flash.
If I #define CFG_NO_FLASH, other stuff breaks. If I fix that by changing include/flash.h to remove the #ifndef CFG_NO_FLASH, then everything compiles, but on the link, all of the flash stuff that I DO need (flash_info, flash_erase, etc) isn't defined because of CFG_NO_FLASH.
The current dataflash implementation really needs to be cleaned up.
Has this been fixed ANYWHERE in someone's branch?
Wolfgang, I know you don't really care much about non-memory flash "devices" but is there some vision as to where all this is supposed to go?
It's not exactly correct that I don't care. The situation is that we have no such hardware in our lab. That means I cannot even test it.
The "vision" is to add some proper device interface (similar to and/or unified with NAND, for example). But AFAIK no such work has been started yet.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
