Dear Stefan Roese,

really wish there was a define to control this. large devices are fine, but it sucks when majority of people dont hit this limit.
What is the drawback of this code version? I have to admit that I didn't compare code size, but this is the only possible drawback coming to my mind.
Can you please make such a comparison? I, too, would like to know how much of a difference that makes - I share Mike's concerns.
And the advantages are big enough from my point of view. Being in sync with Linux once again not only brings 64bit device size support but removes quite a lot of bugs from the mtd infrastructure (for example used by UBI).
I do understand this - but then, we're a boot loader, and code size is still a top priority here.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
