In previous MTD releases there was kernel config parameters
CONFIG_MTD_PHYSMAP_START and CONFIG_MTD_PHYSMAP_LEN
and it was enough to provide these parameters at kernel' .config
for physmap driver and new board worked. Now I should write my own board
map driver.
Why? It is better to restore this nice feature.
