I am not sure how this patch addresses the previously discussed topic of cached/uncached accesses to the NOR flash. It does not mention the topic anywhere in the commit message or other comments, which I consider a serious flaw of the patch.
From the
#define CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE 0xa0000000
I understand that this is the version where the end user has to deal with two different address ranges (i. e. "md 10000" would be used to dump the 2nd 64kB-sector, while "era A0010000" would be needed to erase the same sector.
Such behaviour is seems unacceptable to me. If my understanding is corrent, I tend to reject this patch. [Please see explanations in previous messages for other options to solve this issue.]
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
