Hi Alan,
I have a couple of questions on your patch.

What guarantee do you have on the order of writes here ? Isn't a write barrier
required here ?

Why this spin_lock and not a mutex ? I didn't see any interrupts used in this
driver, have I missed something ?

Same question here on the order of the read wrt to previous writes.

I don't think that test is required, the MTD API gives already that guarantee
AFAIR.

Ditto.

Ditto.

Ditto.

Ditto.

That looks weird (the __pa()) usage. I thought drivers should not use __pa()
directly.

Again same spin_lock question.

Cheers.
