This won't help with your current problem probably..

But once you get things working, please take a look the gpmc.c.
The GPMC values should be dynamically calculated depending on
the L3 speed. There are several examples of that in gpmc-onenand.c
and gpmc-smc91x.c.

You should be able to calculate the timings needed from the
external device data sheets. Also, Paul noted earlier that for
some devices you also need to add up the latencies for the level
shifter.

Then while at it, maybe check with your logic analyzer to make
sure the timings set using gpmc.c really are what we're trying
them to? I don't think anybody has ever verified that.

Tony
