Just for the record: I know that PIO mode is functional on i.MX28
because I have it working on one of our customer boards. I am rather
much surprised it's still not working well for you, but haven't had a
chance to investigate yet. The i.MX28 RM explicitly describes how to
work with the PIO mode, so if it's not working this is bug somewhere.

This thread/patch is about a whole different problem, namely PIO mode
being non-functional on i.MX23. As the i.MX23 RM doesn't describe the
PIO mode, there is no indication that it's even meant to work on this
chip.

Regards,
Lucas
