[PATCH] NAND: DaVinci: Removed header file that is not required

[PATCH] NAND: DaVinci: Removed header file that is not required

[s-paulraj]

From: Sandeep Paulraj <s-paulraj@ti.com>

The DaVinci NAND driver was including the mach-types.h header
file.
This prevented the DaVinci NAND driver from getting used
in a DSP only device. The linux port on c6x devices can make
use of the same driver and does not define a corresponding
header file; so removing it.

Hi,

you explain why this include is bad for DSP. Buy you do not explain why
this include is there and why removing it is harmless for Linux.

Hi,

This header file was required in the driver because earlier there was code dependent on a machine_* check. This piece of code has now been factored out and is in /arch/arm/mach-davinci/aemif.c.

Thus removing it is harmless.

Please do let me know if you need an updated patch.

Regards,
Sandeep

Yes, please, patch description should contain this important
information.
