Hi Hauke,
 Thanks.
Netgear WNR3500Lv2 hardware uses this flash type. I tested this patch on this particular platform. It uses BCMA based devices. I will send you kernel .config file and boot log message if you want. I shall look into drivers/mtd/nand/nand_base.c file and give you my analysis.

Can this patch be accepted ?

Regards,
Tathagata

Hi,
Attached is the kernel patch to support brcm47xx NAND flash.
I have used latest trunk source code to create this patch.

Hi Tathagata,

nice patch.
I had a quick look over your big patch. I did not know that there is a third flash type used on brcm43xx Broadcom devices, on what device did you found it? I did a search in the source code on my hard disk and the
WNDR4500 source code was the only containing a driver for this NAND
chips. Is is really used on SSB and BCMA based devices?

Sometimes there is "serial flash" in the header and not "NAND flash".
When finding a SSB NAND flash it will try to initialize serial flash
instead. Why are you using your own partition parser? Do Braodcom chips
using NAND do something different from other chips?
Is it possible to use drivers/mtd/nand/nand_base.c?

Hauke
