The first line in this file says that this is a controller...

So this is a controller with partitions? ;-)
Recalling my own mistakes with the FSL UPM NAND controller bindings,
and Josh's comment:
http://www.mail-archive.com/linuxppc-dev@ozlabs.org/msg16572.html
I think the bindings should look like this:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] {
...controller's properties...
[EMAIL PROTECTED] {
...chip's properties...
[EMAIL PROTECTED] {
...partition's properties...
};
};
[EMAIL PROTECTED] {
...
};
};
Sure, I understand that there are plenty of boards with the "old"
scheme flashed into the firmware... Just something you might
want to consider for the future updates for the driver/bindings.
Thanks,
