[PATCH v2] mtd: nand: Add help text for i.MX NAND controllers

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

 



There are two different NAND drivers, used for different chips in the
i.MX range.  It's quite confusing as to which to use.  Add some help
text to clarify.
