Hi, 

Even I have a similar problem, our flash controller does not allow us to control ALE, CLE etc, and the nand layer in mtd assumes that such a control is available. 
Our sandisk controller has exposed certain commands like Read, Write, Block Erase etc and it is does not allow any access to ALE. How can I use the current code to 
incorporate the controller.
