Did anybody actually test this rewrite extensively? I don't remember any feedback?
Wolfgang,
today I downloaded Pantelis' patch from GMANE archive (thanks to Andrew Dyer for noticing and also excuse by blindness when reading U-Boot homepage). Patch was forward ported to current U-Boot code base and extended to support large page devices. I tested it with Samsung K91G16U0M and K91G08U0M NAND chips.
Unfortunately patch will be extremely hard to merge, because it is complete rewrite based on recent Linux MTD code. Therefore it is nearly imposible to sent chain of incremental patches. My prosal is to make compile time tests for all boards in U-Boot tree which has NAND support enabled and report results including code size changes. Than I'll send patch to mailing list (and posibly cc board maintainers) with request for testing. In case anyone has better idea, let me know.
Best regards, ladis
