Hi,

In June, there have been important patches submitted for the pxa3xx_nand driver after it was broken by Lei's rework series. These patches were discussed in June, and they are present in

git://git.infradead.org/mtd-2.6.git linux-fallback

but not in the master branch of the same git. Also, they have not been merged to Linus' master tree which renders the pxa3xx_nand driver unusable in 3.0 and 3.1.

A selection of the patches I'm talking about are titled

mtd: pxa3xx_nand: Fix blank page ECC mismatch
mtd: pxa3xx_nand: fix nand detection issue
mtd: pxa3xx_nand don't specify default parsing options

and of course they depend on others that aren't merged yet either.

Can anyone explain what went wrong here and how we can get out of this?

Thanks,
Daniel

Sorry, I was confused. They are also missing in this git, so they've never been merged at all.

I'll try to collect what's missing and re-submit.

All three patches have been merged upstreem, you should have looked at the l2-mtd-2.6.git tree or linux-next as well.
