Anyone?

I have run this via the linux-mtd folks before[1], but I get the
impression everyone is either too busy or does not want to make the
judgement call about plat_nand's future; linux-mtd pointed me here. :)
I have been busy porting an ARM board (that uses plat_nand) to
devicetree and stumbled on John Crispin's patch from last year[2].
There was not much online about how to use it, so I went about
building upon his work it what seemed to be natural and a good fit.
Attached is the work I have done to the driver its-self (including the
much needed bindings documentation), whilst on my github page I have
put up an example of its usage:
https://github.com/jimdigriz/ts78xx/blob/plat-nand/arch/arm/mach-orion5x/board-ts7800.c
https://github.com/jimdigriz/ts78xx/blob/plat-nand/arch/arm/boot/dts/orion5x-ts7800.dts
Am I going in the right direction here? plat_nand, by its nature, is
not very DT, the alternative would be a custom driver for my
platform[3] but then are we not just littering drivers/mtd/nand rather
than arch/arm/mach-foobar? Is plat_nand going to be marked deprecated?
Meanwhile, the plat_nand driver does currently have some devicetree
support but it is currently unusable, and more so as there is no
documentation on how to use it.
The patch below adds the much needed documentation as well as adds some
common properties (bank-width, chip-delay, bbt-use-flash and nr-chips)
removing further use of the platform_nand_data struct.
So, what am I to do. Forget plat_nand as it is going to be marked
deprecated and write a dedicated driver[4]? If not, what do I need to
do/change/improve to get this ready for for prime time action?
Cheers

[3] I could also support the NAND used by arch/arm/mach-ep93xx/ts72xx.c
but the whole SoC has not been ported to DT
[4] which ironically it was recommended[5] I used plat_nand when I did this
(although a lot changes in four years) originally by Hartley who had
just moved the ts72xx to plat_nand[6]

+NAND support for Generic NAND driver
+
+Required properties:
+- compatible : "gen_nand"
+- reg : Array of base physical addresses of the NAND and the length of memory
+ mapped regions. You *should* have a "nand_data" reg which is the
+ data io region (if not named, then the first reg is used for
+ IO_ADDR_R/IO_ADDR_W), additional regs are platform defined
+- nr-chips : Number of physical chips
+
+Optional properties:
+- reg-name : "nand_data" *should* be defined, additional ones are platform
+ defined
+- bank-width : Width in bytes of the device. Default is 1 (8bit), 2 (16bit)
+ implies NAND_BUSWIDTH_16 and any other value is invalid
+- chip-delay : Chip dependent delay for transferring data from array to read
+ registers in usecs
+- bbt-use-flash : Use a flash based bad block table. Default, OOB identifier
+ is saved in OOB area
+
+The device tree may optionally contain sub-nodes describing partitions of the
+address space. See partition.txt for more detail.
+
+Example:
+
+nand@800 {
+ #address-cells = <1>;
+ #size-cells = <1>;
+ compatible = "ts,nand", "gen_nand";
+ reg = <0x800 0x04>,
+ <0x804 0x04>;
+ reg-names = "nand_ctrl", "nand_data";
+ nr-chips = <1>;
+ chip-delay = <15>;
+ bbt-use-flash;
+
+ partition@0 {
+ label = "mbr";
+ reg = <0x00000000 0x20000>;
+ read-only;
+ };
+
+ partition@20000 {
+ label = "kernel";
+ reg = <0x00020000 0x400000>;
+ };
+
+ partition@420000 {
+ label = "initrd";
+ reg = <0x00420000 0x400000>;
+ };
+
+ partition@820000 {
+ label = "rootfs";
+ reg = <0x00820000 0x1f7e0000>;
+ };
+};
+
+N.B. to use the plat-nand driver, the platform board code does still need to
+ setup platform_nand_data and hook it into the platform_device so
+ the callbacks (for at least .cmd_ctrl and .dev_ready) are available.
+
+Example:
+
+static struct platform_nand_data ts7800_nand_data = {
+ .ctrl = {
+ .cmd_ctrl = ts7800_nand_cmd_ctrl,
+ .dev_ready = ts7800_nand_dev_ready,
+ },
+};
+
+static int ts7800_platform_notifier(struct notifier_block *nb,
+ unsigned long event, void *__dev)
+{
+ struct device *dev = __dev;
+
+ if (event != BUS_NOTIFY_ADD_DEVICE)
+ return NOTIFY_DONE;
+
+ if (of_device_is_compatible(dev->of_node, "ts,nand"))
+ dev->platform_data = &ts7800_nand_data;
+
+ return NOTIFY_OK;
+}
+
+static struct notifier_block ts7800_platform_nb = {
+ .notifier_call = ts7800_platform_notifier,
+};
+
+void __init ts7800_init(void)
+{
+ bus_register_notifier(&platform_bus_type, &ts7800_platform_nb);
+}
