Could you tell me which patches I need on top of soon-to-be-3.7-rc1? I would like to augment this to make GPMC attached NAND probable in DT, in case this is still an open topic.
In case you can help on making gpmc nand dt probable, please proceed. I would be on vacation next week, may be we can discuss after I am back. am335x based boards like beagle bone should be booting on l-o master and it has gpmc header cleanup changes with minimal driver support. As I don't have the sufficient time to explain in detail, some pointers. Discussion between us [1] hopefully explains it in brief. It would be like peripherals connected to gpmc being represented as child nodes in dt. gpmc driver probably in probe would have to invoke of_platform_populate to create child nodes (for devices like nand). And driver would have to be enhanced to configure gpmc based on information passed through dt for each child nodes. Or roughly have a dt equivalent of driver as in [2]. One issue would be the memory resource creation by gpmc driver and which has to be provided to client resource data. And a decision has to be taken whether a generic routine is going to be used or initially a custom routine invocation based on child compatible fields would be sufficient.
