infineon danube/twinpass mtd support

[john at phrozen.org]

Hi all,

we rewrote the infineon danube/twinpass support a while back and  
bumped the original vendor code to 2.6. we are currently looking into  
some left over details, before sending the patches upstream.

1 open issue is the mtd map. the danube has a EBU (External Bus Unit)  
which connects pci and mtd to the mips core. for PCI to work, the EBU  
needs to endiness swap in-/ex-gress DMA data. however, due to a design  
issue(?!) the EBU only swaps MTD one way. hence we needed to add some  
complex mappings.

there is 1 really ugly hack, we needed to add to make it work. the  
patch can be found here ->
https://dev.openwrt.org/browser/trunk/target/linux/ifxmips/patches-2.6.28/160-cfi-swap.patch

and the map driver here -->
https://dev.openwrt.org/browser/trunk/target/linux/ifxmips/files/drivers/mtd/maps/ifxmips.c

i would appreciate to get some input, whether this is the correct  
solution. i think the mtd subsystem is missing a generic way to handle  
this kind of situation. but correct me if i am worng please.

thanks,
John
