Indeed.

No, we should fix the bug.

It should be done right in a v2. Something like:

		if (ncycles < ATMEL_SMC_MODE_TDF_MIN)
			ncycles = ATMEL_SMC_MODE_TDF_MIN;

with

#define ATMEL_SMC_MODE_TDF_MIN 1

I don't think we need to backport the fix, since no-one uses this driver
yet.

Thanks for this report.
