In fact, exactly the opposite is true. The NAND controller in S5PV210 is
almost exactly the same as in S3C24xx. The only difference is the
numbering of registers. Also S5P suports 1-bit and 4-bit HW ECC while
S3C has only 1-bit. The algorithm is the same, even
s3c2440_nand_read_buf() works correctly.

S3C6410 has the same controller as well.

Right now I have working S5PV210 NAND driver, I did it like that:

#ifdef CONFIG_ARCH_S5PCxx

#define NFCONT 0x04
#define NFCMD 0x08
#define NFADDR 0x0C
#define NFDATA 0x10
#define NFSTAT 0x28
#define NFECC 0x34

etc.

The driver IS the same, yes. It works for both S5P and S3C.

Alex
