Dear Rodolfo Giometti,

The e-mail address you used for Gregory is wrong. Also, for NAND
questions, you should Cc Ezequiel Garcia (I added him), as he is our
NAND driver developer.

The 3.13-rc kernels do not have NAND support for Armada 370/XP. The
NAND support will only arrive in 3.14. You can try the linux-next tree,
but I'm not sure it has absolutely all of the patches that are needed
(I see at least one potentially missing).

Alternatively, you can use the backport-3.10 branch at
https://github.com/MISL-EBU-System-SW/mainline-public/commits/backport-3.10.
It is based on 3.10, and has a good number of backported patches,
including NAND support.

Best regards,

Thomas
