[PATCH] Remove blkmtd

2006-04-11T13:18:43+00:00

Remove the blkmtd driver.

- An alternative exists (block2mtd) that hasn't had  bug report for > 1 year.

- Most embedded people tend to use ancient kernels with custom patches from
  mtd cvs and elsewhere, so the 1 year warning period neither helps nor hurts
  them too much.

- It's in the way of klibc.  The problems caused by pulling blkmtd support
  are fairly low, while the problems caused by delaying klibc can be fairly
  substantial.  At best, this would be a severe burden on hpa's time.

MTD: remove obsolete Kconfig options

2006-03-31T23:02:42+00:00

Remove the obsolete Kconfig options MTD_CFI_AMDSTD_RETRY
and MTD_CFI_AMDSTD_RETRY_MAX

The code that depended on these was removed in early 2004, but
Kconfig was not updated accordingly.

[PATCH] mtd: fix broken name_to_dev_t() declaration

2006-03-31T20:18:49+00:00

drivers/mtd/devices/blkmtd.c uses a local declaration of name_to_dev_t()
which is inconsistant with the real one.  the following patch fixes this by
removing the local declaration and including mount.h instead

this patch was originally done by Micah Anderson.

[PATCH] mtd/redboot: Handle holes in fis table

2006-03-31T20:18:49+00:00

Redboot simply sets the first character of a fis entry to 0xff on "fis
delete".  The kernel redboot parser stops parsing on such an entry, and
without this patch any entries after a deleted image would not be detected.

[PATCH] Add chip used in collie to jedec_probe

2006-03-31T20:18:49+00:00

This adds flash chip used in Sharp Zaurus sl5500 (collie) to jedec_probe.
Values work for read-only access, but I have not figured out how to do
read-write.
