Hello List,
i have figured out a bug in mtd_datflash.c of kernel 2.6.29, which
causes my ARM bootloader to be killed with every "erase" operation on
arbitrary adresses. The fix is:
--- linux-2.6.29.2-a/drivers/mtd/devices/mtd_dataflash.c 2009-05-13
03:11:16.000000000 +0200
+++ linux-2.6.29.2-b/drivers/mtd/devices/mtd_dataflash.c 2009-05-13
03:13:30.000000000 +0200

- pageaddr = div_u64(instr->len, priv->page_size);
+ pageaddr = div_u64(instr->addr, priv->page_size);
do_block = (pageaddr & 0x7) == 0 && instr->len >= blocksize;
pageaddr = pageaddr << priv->page_offset;
