[PATCH] fsmc-nand: Add fsmc_nand_set_plat_data in linux/mtd/fsmc.h

[PATCH] fsmc-nand: Add fsmc_nand_set_plat_data in linux/mtd/fsmc.h

[Viresh Kumar]

In most of the cases partitions info, width, etc comes from board files. And
device structure may be defined in machine files, common to all board files.
Thus, we need to set platform data from board file, for which
fsmc_nand_set_plat_data routine is required.

Hm you create a new function, but where is it used? If it's used by a later
patch perhaps you should make a patch series instead?

Linus,

Actually it will be used in SPEAr patches, which will be sent separately. I could
have kept it as part of that series also, but just thought to send it separately.
You want me to keep it in spear patch series instead?

I think this is important piece of information which should be in the
patch commit message.

To elaborate, imagine I put this patch to my l2 tree, then David has the
same question when he decides whether to pick it or not.

Isn't this function too big to be an inline func in a header file?

Sorry, i have already resent this patch with change in commit message.

Actually this routine will not be called many times. Only for setting
plat_data of few devices (depending on board). So i thought keeping
it inline would be better. But will change if you want. Should i move
it in fsmc-nand.c??

Which means it is not on the hot path which means inline is not really
needed. Also, today it is not called too many times, tomorrow it could
be called more often...

Hi, up to you, I would not keep it in a header file, this is more about
personal taste, I guess.

Ok. I have moved this to fsmc-nand.c. Will send V2.
