Subject: mtd device names
Date: Thu, 8 Jan 2009 16:21:02 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090108152102.GH8021@pengutronix.de> (raw)
Hi,
Some time ago I posted a NAND driver for Freescale i.MX SoCs which already
went upstream.
After doing a nand_scan I did a
mtd->name = DRIVER_NAME;
With the result that the NAND device showed up as mxc_nand. While
merging upstream this line was removed, so now NAND devices show up as
"NAND 64MiB 3,3V 8-bit". Using this string with command line partitions
is really inconvenient. Because of the whitespaces you need proper
quoting in the command line (try this in U-Boot). In addition one needs
to change the environment for different NAND chips.
What's the reason this line was removed? Any chance to revert it?
Sascha
