Intel flash that powers up locked

[Konstantin Kletschke]

Hi there!

I have intel K3 devices on my Board and the linux Kernel needs to unlock
them.
I found
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-mtd/2005-April/012431.html
and incorporated the provided diff into a daily-mtd-cvs snapshot from
20050530 in 2.6.11.
However, this code Oopses in cfi_intelext_unlockall():

static void cfi_intelext_unlockall(struct mtd_info *mtd)
{
#if 1
        int i;
        for (i = 0; i <= mtd->numeraseregions; i++) {
                printk("mtd->numeraseregions %x\n", mtd->numeraseregions);
                int j;
                printk("rumms\n");
                printk("mtd->eraseregions[0].numblocks %x\n", 
                                mtd->eraseregions[i].numblocks);
                printk("bumms\n");
...

The printk("mtd->eraseregions[0].numblocks %x\n", 
				mtd->eraseregions[i].numblocks);

causes The Oops. How is that possible?
Also weird is that mtd->numeraseregions is 0.

After that I tried another approach like that in message
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-mtd/2005-April/012396.html 
so the for loop went away in a replacement for the oneliner which calls
cfi_intelext_unlock(). This function is called and Oopses at
cfi_varsize_frob(mtd, do_printlockstatus_oneblock,
                ofs, len, 0);
imediately.

What can be the cause of that?
Has anybody Intel K3 unlocking working and if yes, how is his or her map
driver looking?
