Hello,

This series add the sunxi NFC support with up to 8 NAND chip connected.
I'm still in the early stages drivers development and some key features
are
missing, but it's usable (I tested it on the cubietruck board).

Here's what's missing:
   - HW ECC support
   - DMA support
   - HW randomization support
   - many more improvements

This series depends on Emilio's patch series implementing mod0 clks

(http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2013-July/185478.html)
+ an other patch not yet posted

(http://git.elopez.com.ar/linux/commits/5b4eb3ac406b9c98965714d40e8dd6da943d1ab0)

During my reasearch regarding the HW ECC and HW randomizer of the Allwinner
NAND flash controller I found this document describing the Altera NAND flash
controller
(which is in turn based on a cadence IP):
Which may be similar to drivers/mtd/nand/denali.c as Cadence bought Denali?
Actually I was wrong, the sunxi and the cadence IP have nothing in common.
This was pointed out by Henrik (see this thread :
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/linux-sunxi/nand/linux-sunxi/x69tFBi95Zk/bNyJlWWOV8oJ <https://groups.google.com/forum/#%21searchin/linux-sunxi/nand/linux-sunxi/x69tFBi95Zk/bNyJlWWOV8oJ>).


Sorry for the false hopes.

Best Regards,

Boris
