[U-Boot] Resync NAND framework with Linux?
Hi all.
It is more than one year since the last re-sync. https://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2016-May/256464.html
Any plan for re-sync?
My main motivation is to update denali.c
Recently, I reworked the denali driver in Linux (thanks to Boris for the review!)
The U-Boot variant driver does not work on some of my boards, so I need to fix it as well.
I would be nice to import my efforts from Linux, but some hooks / helpers are missing in the framework.
Thanks!

I think a rebase with linux would be nice, but is it enough to resync NAND only? ... or do you mean a MTD re-sync?
Also resync UBI/UBIFS with current linux version would be a nice idea, but I have not found time for it, and nobody seems to need it ... also I have no good testsetup yet handy for trying it fast.
So, sorry, I have no plan for doing such a rebase ...
Not an unsolvable job, but it needs time and particularly good testing.
bye, Heiko

My main interest is NAND, but the whole MTD resync would be nicer.
Also resync UBI/UBIFS with current linux version would be a nice idea, but I have not found time for it, and nobody seems to need it ... also I have no good testsetup yet handy for trying it fast.

I do not have enough time either.
If nobody does this, I will cherry pick some commits.
