Hm, defining aggregated mtd devices in the DT is not supported, and since, as I've been told many times ;), DT is supposed to represent the HW not what we want to do with it, I'm not sure that's such a good idea. Note that the infrastructure to concatenate several MTD devices already exists, but it's not used by the NAND layer. Also note that some NAND chips embed several dies and expose multiple CS lines. The NAND framework already supports assigning different CS lines to a single NAND device, so you could abuse this feature and expose your different NAND devices as a single one (that will only work for a cluster of identical chips connected to the same controller), but I'd really like to avoid this kind of things. -- Boris Brezillon, Free Electrons Embedded Linux and Kernel engineering http://free-electrons.com -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe devicetree" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
