I guess it should be MTD -- m25p80 -- spi-nor -- spi bus driver -- SPI NOR chip Because m25p80 will register to mtd core on top and will call spi core data transfer.

Now please tell me how your framework works in this case? how many drivers do I need to right and call traces. -- Thanks, Jagan. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-doc" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
