This is one of > the commands the kernel does during the initialization. I'm not sure about external NAND chip, does it have a RESET via GPIO? However, you can reset the whole GPMC module via the GPMC_SYSCONFIG. You could try to do that in the driver .shutdown path. I'm not sure how this will help the hardreset case as hardware should reset the GPMC module during a hardreset. Note that in the hwmod config, (mach-omap2/omap_hwmod_3xxx_data.c) we set HWMOD_INIT_NO_RESET. it means that the kernel will never reset the GPMC module during boot up to prevent loss of GPMC configuration set up by the bootloader. cheers, -roger
