Hi,
 
I am newbie to the mtd drivers and flash devices. I am trying to figure
out the root cause of some of kernel 
Warning messages that i am getting while accessing the flash.
I am using Intel flash JS28F128P33T85 and linux kernel 2.6.14.
 
Following messages are seen on the console 
 
Node totlen on flash (0x00b000b0) != totlen from node ref (0x00001044)
Node totlen on flash (0x00b000b0) != totlen from node ref (0x00001044)
Node totlen on flash (0x00b000b0) != totlen from node ref (0x00001044)
Node totlen on flash (0x00b000b0) != totlen from node ref (0x00001044)
Node totlen on flash (0x00b000b0) != totlen from node ref (0x00001044)
Node totlen on flash (0x00b000b0) != totlen from node ref (0x00001044)
 
I am able to probe the flash and having following partitions on the
flash.
 
#
# cat /proc/mtd
dev:    size   erasesize  name
mtd0: 00020000 00020000 "boot"
mtd1: 00020000 00020000 "env"
mtd2: 00020000 00020000 "nvram"
mtd3: 00280000 00020000 "os"
mtd4: 00d00000 00020000 "user"
mtd5: 00020000 00008000 "vpd"
       
After searching this I found similar issue in the archive and patch is
available for this. 
Since the patch is for the nand flash devices and this is NOR flash
device I was just wondering 
if this patch works for my board as well. 
If this patch cannot be applied can you please let me know if there is
any work around to fix this. 
 
Please let me know if you need any more information on this.
 
Your respones are highly appreciated!
 
Thanks & Regards,
Saleem
