Problem with developing Samsung K9F1G08U0A MTD driver

I really had no intention of causing any problem and
wasting other people's time.  Please let me explain my
point of view, maybe it's wrong but this is how I see
it.

1. The reason of choosing which version is purely
based on which one had more complete solution for a
particular application.  If I can get mainline version
to work with all the drivers available I would use it.
 However as an average user and just some basic
knowledge about kernel internal I have to choose which
ever one that gives me the least problems.  Here I
apologize for using the wrong word "broken" in my
previous e-mail, incomplete!=broken.
It could well be that the main line is complete and it
was just my incompetence that prevented me from
getting it to work.  Again there is very little
distinction for me wheher the kernel source is from a
commercial company or someone's own edition, I merely
picked one that presented least problem for me.  I had
no idea that it would cause so much trouble.

2. Maybe I did not phrase my question right.  With no
knowledge of how MTD works at all and very limited
understanding of Linux kernel, I just tried to explain
the problem the best way I can and hoping maybe
someone had encountered similar issue and had a
solution for it.  Any help is greatly appreciated. 
Maybe I'm just so used to Alan Stern at
[linux-usb-users].


Best regards, zl
