Dear MTD maintainers,
I suggest several bugfixes and workarounds against the
snapshot of 20041226 (inserted into a vanilla 2.4.28) - see
the attached patch.
I'm using DiskOnChip devices in various sorts of Advantech
hardware. I'm compiling my MTD drivers for the DiskOnChip
alone - I don't want to include all the other MTD stuff
(useless to me).
Bugs fixed / worked around:
1) if you flush the partition table and issue a BLKRRPART
(i.e., you re-partition the diskonchip), the reported device
size shrinks to one half of the original. If you do this again
before a reboot, the size shrinks again (now one quarter).
Seems like the driver would re-init device size to a size denominated in 1k blocks,
rather than sectors (512B).
2) in my DiskOnChip-only setup, CONFIG_MTD_MAP_BANK_WIDTH_1
is missing in the .config. I've added that straight to $LINUX/include/linux/map.h
3) two #includes seem to be missing in $MTD/nand/diskonchip.c
4) the Reed-Solomon library hooks are messed up in $LINUX/lib/Config.in
I hope this helps
Frank Rysanek
