Cover letter [PATCH 0/2] Add support for > 2GiB MTD devices
All,
Over the course of the last several months, I've been working on adding support to the kernel for MTD devices that exceed 2GiB in size. In my particular case I have a need for 8GiB of NAND flash that appears as a single device. I'm now ready to submit my (first ever) patch (please be kind :) ). Seriously, I've been on this list a LOT during this time and I've gotten nothing but great support, thank you to the entire list.
A couple of comments. First and foremost, these patches don't completely change the MTD layer. Due to my in-experience outside of what I was focused on (NAND/UBI/UBIFS/MTDCHAR) I felt it was best if I restricted my changes to what I knew. If the community feels I need to take these changes into the rest of the kernel please advise. Secondly, there were changes that I needed to make in mtd-utils, but I again only focused on the UBI sub-set. mtd-utils no longer builds because of the changes, but I really do NOT feel qualified to make changes to the rest of mtd-utils as they're tools I don't use and don't understand. The changes in mtd-utils are the same changes as in .../include/linux/mtd/mtd.h and .../include/mtd/mtd-abi.h. If anyone has a suggestion as to how I should handle mtd-utils I would appreciate it.
Thanks again to everyone on the list who's answered my endless stupid questions.
