You can use the framework for B2. But for B1, you should not use the framework, since this framework is just for the SPI-NOR. If you do not connected with a NOR, i think it's better to code another driver for your controller. thanks Huang Shijie -- 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
