Sorry for my unclear email. I am currently facing issues when trying
to enable and use the MTD driver for A20 SOM (implemented and likely
maintained by Boris Brezillion); I am confused why the probe is not
called in deferred probe case and overall NAND on A20 SOM is not
detected.
I hope to get help in this regard, and of-course as soon as I got it
working, I will submit patches to be included in the kernel and DTS
files.
I am not sure why there are DTS files for A20 SOMs (especially one
sunxi-a20-olinuxino-micro.dts which supposed to have NAND on the SOM)
without any NAND pinctrl and nfc node defined. When the kernel have
driver for it and I assume it should be working.
Added Boris Brezellion in the CC list, hoping to get some pointers and
suggestions from him too.
Thanks
