I can't find this patch in any repository. Even, there wasn't any reply to his e-mail.
Was the patch rejected?
Yes it was rejected. IIRC, there were some issues with a new "interface" that was introduced to the NAND subsystem here (transparent hardware ECC). At that time such an "interface" was not supported in Linux either. Not sure what the current status here is.
Scott, whats the current status? Has this support now been included to Linux meanwhile? How should we continue here? Do you plan on resubmitting patches for FSL NAND support? Please keep in mind that we still plan to switch to the new U-Boot NAND subsystem rewrite done a few months ago, based on the Linux 2.6.22 MTD sources.
What's about the current state of NAND-Flash Support for MPC831x in U-Boot using the FCM concerning:
- Read/Write/Erase Access
- Booting from NAND
No idea. Scott?
Best regards, Stefan
