Some times ago I have got just the same problem: after rebasing to the
new barebox release the spi memory chips "disappeared".
Here is part of my board code. It works for old barebox release:
static struct spi_board_info board_spi_devs[] __initdata = {
{
/* Spansion S25FL004A SPI flash */
.name = "m25p",
.max_speed_hz = 50000000,
.bus_num = 0,
.chip_select = 0,
.mode = SPI_MODE_3,
.platform_data = &lig32_spi0_flash_data,
}
...
spi_register_board_info(board_spi_devs, ARRAY_SIZE(board_spi_devs));
I changed the 'name' field from "m25p" to "m25p80", and it works again!
