If you care about conflicts and how to merge all that - you can remove ceiva via the arm tree, and at the same time modify the driver in the mtd tree, and we'll just put a not to the commit message that during the merge this change has to be discarded. Linus did a similar thing this merge window for one board which mtd modified and arm tree removed. -- Best Regards, Artem Bityutskiy (????? ????????)
