Without it gcc gives me a warning:
s3c24xx_nand.c:90:20: warning: assignment discards `volatile' qualifier from pointer target type [enabled by default]
Why do you have volatile in your s3c24xx_nand struct?
I use that as a rule to memory mapping of hardware registers. Without it GCC optimization sometimes do bad things, like completely removing sequences of code. For instance, if you need to pause in a loop until some bit of a register is changed (as it's done in the serial driver) and the struct were this register is mapped don't have the volatile attribute, the GCC optimizer removes the loop.
