Hi, Boris

Thanks for the review.

To get NFC status, we need to read the NFC command registers, which is a
256M memory mapping address. To check the status, you just read such
address from NFC command registers.
For example, to check NFCBUSY (bit 27), you need to read 0x08000000
(bit 27 is set to 1) of the NFC command register.
If you want to check NFCBUSY (bit 27) and NFCWR (bit 26) in same time,
you need to read 0x0c000000 (bit 27 and bit 26 are set to 1).
Are NFCBUSY and NFCWR found in NFCDATA_STATUS and those found in HSMC_SR
representing the same thing.
yes. it is. I just check with IP team. The NFCBUSY of NFCDATA_STATUS is also refer to NFC_BUSY of HSMC_SR.

If they are, I think you can just use HSMC_SR instead of NFCDATA_STATUS
to check the status [1] and drop the last bit in the NFC Command
Resgiters range.
Thank you. your code works (just need some typo change).
I want to send [1] code with your signed-off and my acked to mtd list.
Is it okay for you?


But mapping such huge memory address only for multiple NFC status check
is not very economic.

The economic way is we check the NFC status one bit a time, then we don't
have to mapping such huge address.

Now we reduce the memory mapping from 256M to 128M+4 (include 0x08000000),
the only difference is NFCBUSY (bit 27) status. You cannot check NFCBUSY
bit with other NFC status bit.

Since current atmel_nand driver check the NFCBUSY status without combine
other bits, so this change (reduce 256M to 128M+4) will not be harmful.

This would give the following range:

					0x70000000 0x08000000
This is also right if we apply above code change.

So after above patch for mtd list is accepted I'll send out the dts changes patch.
