In-Reply-To: Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: 3.2.99-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Brent Taylor commit 30863e38ebeb500a31cecee8096fb5002677dd9b upstream. When mtdoops calls mtd_panic_write(), it eventually calls panic_nand_write() in nand_base.c. In order to properly wait for the nand chip to be ready in panic_nand_wait(), the chip must first be selected. When using the atmel nand flash controller, a panic would occur due to a NULL pointer exception.
