[PATCH 0/3] mtd: rawnand: gpio: Convert to exec_op()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

A bit of context to explain the motivation behind those conversions
I've been sending for the last few weeks. The raw NAND subsystem
carries a lot of history which makes any rework not only painful, but
also subject to regressions which we only detect when someone dares to
update its kernel on one of those ancient HW. While carrying drivers
for old HW is not a problem per se, carrying ancient and unmaintained
drivers that are not converted to new APIs is a maintenance burden,
hence this massive conversion attempt I'm conducting here.

So here is a series converting the GPIO NAND controller driver to
exec_op(). I hope I'll find someone to test those changes, but if
there's no one still having access to this HW or no interest in keeping
it supported in recent kernel versions, we should definitely consider
removing the driver instead.

Regards,

Boris
