[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.

[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] sem2mutex: drivers/mtd/

[PATCH] mtd_dataflash, fix block vs page erase

2006-03-14T15:57:17+00:00

Fix a bug in the block-erase optimization for Dataflash; it was using block
erase even for smaller segments that need page erase.

That wouldn't matter for JFFS2, which never erases less than one block
(sometimes several blocks), but for other callers it might.

[PATCH] spi: misc fixes

2006-01-14T00:29:56+00:00

This collects some small SPI patches that seem to be missing from the MM tree:

  - spi_butterfly kbuild hooks got dropped somehow; this restores them
  - quick fix for a (theoretical?) m25p80_write() oops noted by Andrew
  - quick fix for a potential config-specific oops for mtd_dataflash()
  - minor doc tweaks
