Different nand interface

Hi,

I need some advice on how to support a board that has a hardware state
machine
that creates a parallel bus style interface to the NAND chip.  It is
totally
different from the standard 8 IO signal controls.   It can do write_byte
and read_byte
put requires the offset into the flash as a parameter.    nand.c is
fairly modular, allowing
several functions to be coded in the hardware file but there is no
current method of
passing an offset into, say, read_byte and write_byte unless the
nand_chip priv field
can be used (via mtd->priv).   Do you think the standard nand.c can be
used in this
case or should I create a specific one for this board?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Alice
