I will check the schematic of mx23 tomorrow, and find what will cause
conflict with GPMI.

could you tell me how can i test the rootfs in initramfs?
I have no idea about how to test it.

The sysfs entry does exit.
Please check carefully.
The code in gpmi-nand.c defines it.

I boot the kernel by the USB with sb_loader.
