This patch serie fixes a problem in the UBI layer. The min I/O size has currently a fixed value of 1 for NOR flashes. But for NOR flashes the min I/O size has to be equal to the size of the writebuffer of the flash. Therefore the mtd layer was enhanced with the writebuffer which was later on used in the ubi layer to set the min I/O size.
This patches fixes problems with flash types with a writebuffersize > 128 Byte and is mainly taken from the similar linux patches. See MTD mailing list posts: http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-mtd/2010-December/033460.html
Without the u-boot patches attaching to a ubi device with a min I/O buffer larger than 128 would fail.
IIRC (please correct me if I'm wrong), the Linux part of these patches has undergone some changes. Is this U-Boot patch series still up-to-date?
Cheers, Stefan
