Subject: writing to flash
Date: Thu, 19 Jul 2001 16:39:21 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <3B576FA9.C36441A@sun.com> (raw)

Is there a reason nothing uses copy_to() methods except map_ram?

It seems strange that for every byte I want to write to my flash chip, I
have to execute 3 one-byte writes, when I could use copy_to().

Is there any reason we don't?
