Anyway, I have what appears to be a very ruff around the edges driver
for the pmc551 cPCI Memory module by Ramix Inc.
The module detects the start address in memory and the onboard DRAM size
and all that crazy stuff and appears to work fairly well all in all.
Unfortunately I am having 'issues' w/ getting the mtdblock layer to work
on it. Is there something special I should do far handling that?
If I load the mtd.o then the pmc551.o then then mtdblock.o I get a
kernel panic
If I load the mtd.o then the mtdblock.o then the pmc551.o everything
appears to work, but /dev/mtd0 is unussable.
Apon cat'ing /dev/mtd0 I get the following kernel messages
mtdblock_open
ok
mtdblock_open
ok
And that's it. It opens the device for a short duration of time .. but
nothing comes forth. I tried all sortsa fun with noluck.
Any ideas, suggestions, large bat's to beat the system about the head
with?

Hmmm. To test your driver itself, use the character devices, which are what
/dev/mtd0 ought to be.
When you're sure that's OK, you ought just to be able to load the mtdblock
device (after your driver) and use /dev/mtdblock0 too. There may be bugs in
the mtdblock code, however.
Can you trace and send me the oops that you get if you load mtd, pmc551, then
mtdblock in that order?
Also, it's worth checking that the mtdblock code actually sets the size of the
block device. The kernel might be refusing to pass on any read() requests
because we've left the device size set to zero.

Yah .. that's the interesting part .. I can write/read to/from the /dev/mtd0 just
fine from what I can tell, but when I load the mtdblock0 it causes an ugly kernel
panic.
Anyway .. here is an output of what is going on, though I don't know what extent
you want me to test /dev/mtd0 at.

Okay .. the kernel panic isn't from anything going wrong w/ the mtd layer .. or
'mostly' isn't going wrong. I guess that part of the reason the problem exists is
because `mtdblock.o has to be loaded last. The basic problem is the size of the
pmc551 device. The PPC system has for BAT registers that as I understand have a max
mapping size of 256M .. only 2 of these registers are reserved for the kernels I/O
space .. so when I remap the PCI memory space it overruns the boundries or some
such. Thusly .. apon trying to load the mtdblock.o the kernel tries to malloc the
module outside of it's own limits and causes the kernel panic. Working on trying to
get around this problem on the systems at this time.
