Does this patch set affect your driver(drivers/mtd/nand/alauda.c)?
Hi Joern:
I have submitted a patch set to expose the ecc step size to the user space.
see:
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-mtd/2013-August/048114.html
Since your driver does not set the ecc.size, nor calls the nand_scan/nand_scan_ident/nand_scan_tail.
I am not sure if this patch set affect your driver or not. Please let me know if it does affect your driver.
thanks

The real problem was that by default, we would expose ecc_step_size = 0 for alauda.

I see Joern submitted a patch for this driver's removal, so this point is now moot.
Thanks,
Brian

Yes. I've had two independent people/groups look into this driver, which exceeds the entire user base. That's just a waste of time for everyone involved.
