[PATCH v8 0/3] add the GPMI controller driver for IMX23/IMX28

[b32955@freescale.com (Huang Shijie)]

Hi,

thanks. I will check the code.
>> The driver depends on another GPMI-NAND device patch set, you can find them at :

>> 	[4] http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-mtd/2011-July/037034.html

>> The driver also depends on another DMA patch by Shawn:
>> 	[0] http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-mtd/2011-June/036820.html

Shawn will merge my patches to his Linaro branch.

Please check the attachment:
[1] my_config is my tested .config file, you can test it.
[2] a.sh is my testing shell script which also tests the ubiformat.
