[U-Boot] Resync NAND framework with Linux?

[U-Boot] Resync NAND framework with Linux?

[Masahiro Yamada]

Hi all.

It is more than one year since the last re-sync.
https://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2016-May/256464.html


Any plan for re-sync?



My main motivation is to update denali.c

Recently, I reworked the denali driver in Linux
(thanks to Boris for the review!)

The U-Boot variant driver does not work
on some of my boards, so I need to fix it as well.

I would be nice to import my efforts from Linux,
but some hooks / helpers are missing in the framework.



Thanks!

I think a rebase with linux would be nice, but is it enough to
resync NAND only? ... or do you mean a MTD re-sync?

Also resync UBI/UBIFS with current linux version would be a nice
idea, but I have not found time for it, and nobody seems to need
it ... also I have no good testsetup yet handy for trying it fast.

So, sorry, I have no plan for doing such a rebase ...

Not an unsolvable job, but it needs time and particularly good testing.

bye,
Heiko

My main interest is NAND, but the whole MTD resync would be nicer.

I do not have enough time either.

If nobody does this, I will cherry pick some commits.
