I haven't got past the probing part yet. I'm trying to use cfi_probe and
jedec_probe to find all chips in a really big window. So when the
cfi_probe or the jedec_probe has found something I make a copy of the
map it used and increase map_priv_1 (used by the read and write
callbacks as in physmap.c) in the new map. The new map is then used for
the next probe.
The problem is that I cannot determine if a previous probe found any
alias or not. I must not probe where an alias has been found by a
previous probe since the next probe will think it is a new chip and not
recognize it as an alias (sinze it will think that it found the chip at
location zero). And I must continue probing until the end of the window.
Do I have to change the interface of the probe functions (I need the
address of the last found alias without "manually" looking for aliases
like the probe functions do)?
