Hi All,
I finally got the FLASH controller driver working and it is now successfully reporting the presence of 2GB Flash in the board. I used the new "libata" driver code present in the new kernel source under drivers/ata/. Also did the required additions in the device tree to provide the IO port, IRQ and PIO mode details to the driver. However now I am getting the below errors.
