Hi all, We are introducing a new SPI-NOR library/framework for MTD, to support various types of SPI-NOR flash controllers which require (or benefit from) intimate knowledge of the flash interface, rather than just the relatively dumb SPI interface. This library borrows much of the m25p80 driver for its abstraction and moves this code into a spi-nor module.
This means CONFIG_M25P80 now has a dependency on CONFIG_MTD_SPI_NOR, which should be added to the defconfigs. I'm not sure what is the best process for doing this. Should each $ARCH maintainer just take their respective patch, even if the MTD_SPI_NOR Kconfig symbol is not defined for them yet? Or should maintainers plan on merging the relevant SPI-NOR code into their trees during the development cycle? Or some third option? Anyway, the patches are here. Please keep general comments to the cover letter, so all parties can see. This series is based on the development repo for MTD, in the 'spinor' branch: git://git.infradead.org/l2-mtd.git +spinor This series is available in the same repo at: git://git.infradead.org/l2-mtd.git +defconfigs I tried locally merging this into linux-next and saw a trivial conflict in arch/arm/configs/shmobile_defconfig. I can resubmit based on an appropriate tree, if requested. Thanks, Brian P.S. I was going to purely automatically generate this diff as follows, but it generated a lot of defconfig noise: #!/bin/sh for i in arm blackfin mips powerpc sh do for j in `git grep -l M25P80 arch/$i/configs` do echo $j cp $j .config echo CONFIG_MTD_SPI_NOR=y >> .config make ARCH=$i savedefconfig mv defconfig $j done done So I did a mixed approach, where I filtered most of the noise out of the diff.
