Re: [U-Boot] [PATCH][RFC] MTD resync from Linux-3.8-rc2+ (master)

3 Jan 2013

Subject line should be something like
"mtd: sync NAND and mtdcore with Linux v3.8-rc2".
What is in v3.8-rc2 that you need?  I agree with others that we should
sync from stable versions.

Warning: no testing, except for single board,
was made with this patch.
It is just basic resync for NAND parts of MTD with some modifications  
to mtdcore
I tried to be as close to original as possible.
What is the code size change with this patch?

So NAND now depends on mtdcore... what changed to make this necessary?
And shouldn't we fix board files to include both, rather than hack up  
the makefiles in this one spot?
What about the #ifdef CONFIG_MTD_DEVICE in drivers/mtd/nand/nand.c?

Please factor this out into its own function that can look more like
Linux's add_mtd_device(), and have U-Boot's add_mtd_device() just be a
wrapper that does the loop and calls the internal function when it finds
a slot.

I think you're doing more than updating the version, and are bringing in
functionality that U-Boot previously excluded.

Please don't just copy over Linux's file and try to make it work.

point (which was 3.0, not 2.6.30) and try to apply that diff.  If U-Boot
was already different from 3.0, consider whether it was for a good

You're changing the function signature here, but I don't see where you
update the callers in common/cmd_nand.c.
