Hi,

Reviewing the at91_nand code, I was wondering why the chip select was 
using GPIO and moreover why this GPIO is never toggled during nand flash 
accesses.

Indeed, the Chip select is asserted during the probe routine and never 
released. Don't you think that it can lead to issues if we connect more 
than only one nand and a sdram chip on the EBI ?

If you can enlighten me...

Cheers,
