Can you please change the subject? U-Boot has no MTD layer, and your patch deals with NAND stuff. So please change the SUbject and description to make clear it's all about NAND.
Thanks.
I will change the subject and resubmit.
This patch is tested on two custom boards with PPC and ARM processors running YAFFS in U-Boot and Linux using gcc-4.1.2 cross compilers.
We don't have YAFFS support in U-Boot ???
My intent is to submit a patch for this as well. A YAFFS patch will build on this patch but is logically distinct so I kept it out for now as this patch is more than large enough as it is. I should have made that clear.
We have set up a git repository were you can pull the patch: http://git.tandberg.com/tandberg/u-boot.git
This is nice, but it is nevertheless mandatory to post the patches here on the list for review.
As I mentioned in my previous post, some of the changes are very big and will not fit under the size-limit unless I split single-file patches. Stefan Roese kindly suggested that we could set up a git server and put the changes there. I can of-course send all the small file-patches to the mailing-list and keep the big changes on the git server, but since this logically is all one big patch I thought it would be better to keep the whole change together on the git-server.
As I see it, the patch can be reviewed from the git-server and comments/snippets can be discussed on the mailing-list. Further, as partly stated in my post, I consider this to be work in progress, but I need help from the community to finish this off. I would then think that I (or the maintainer, if he prefers to run this from a branch in his git-tree) can incorporate comments and that the maintainer can pull this into his tree when/if he and the community feels that this is mature enough.
