Therefore, I still believe that such a feature is useful and should be merged into u-boot. If there are problems with my particular implementation, I'm happy to address them.
Can you base it off of the testing branch of the u-boot-nand-flash repo?
I just tried it, and the patch actually applies cleanly to the nand-flash/testing branch. So feel free to go ahead and merge :)
I also have another patchset for what I call 'dynpart' support, i.e. the dynamic calculation of a unit-specific partition table that ensures the net size of partitions are as per spec, no matter how many of the factory default blocks are located where. So it would even support NAND devices with a worse spec than the ones that we were using.
I'll base that also on top of nand-flash/testing and submit later. Will probably need some generalization for the board-level integration.
