Re: Support either NAND or OneNAND on omap3-gpmc CS0

Hi all,

finally found some time to dig into this deeper. It works now and patches
used will be sent as followups to this mail.

I was unable to find datasheet for OneNAND chip used on IGEPv2 boards,
so I copied timings from N900. It works, but it would be nice to have
something more reasonable. Agustí?

And indeed does. Following patch against U-Boot's git was used:

Once DT child is found its chip select is claimed and not returned back
even if device is not found. We had to change this if we want to be able
to leave both enabled. Is it worth doing so?

Patchset that follows is a first draft as we only support OF enabled kernels,
something should be done with all that nand and onenand stuff in
arch/arm/mach-omap2 anyway :-)

Comments are welcome and very appreciated in advance.

Thank you,
