Yes, seems so

I'll make further experiments as I am a bit lost what and when happens. 
What is for sure is that corruptions occurs immediately after boot 
without your patch and with CONFIG_OMAP_GPMC_DEBUG disabled. So maybe 
there is another problem in ubfs or mtd driver.

Already did, every reflash and install of upstream kernel compatible SW 
takes me about 3 hours I'd rather spend on something else :). Though it 
seems that reboot issue happens no matter if CONFIG_OMAP_GPMC_DEBUG is 
enabled or not.

Will do, when we exhaust the other options. What I am afraid of, is that 
if I boot from mmc, I won't be able to reproduce the problem, as there 
will be no pressure on ubifs/mtd/onenand drivers.

Same here

The problem is that between NOLO and kernel there is u-boot. And even if 
I am almost sure it doesn't touch onenand configs, I can't be absolutely 
sure. So those timings are not 100% reliable IMO, though close to that.

I'll play a bit more with printing the values with both 
CONFIG_OMAP_GPMC_DEBUG enabled and disabled and whatever I can think of, 
including dumping cs0 config from u-boot, nokia kernel and/or REing NOLO 
onenand init (already did that for N9 DDR timings, shouldn't be that 
hard for N900 GPMC). Will keep you informed on the progress. In the 
meanwhile I think your patch should make it as without it onenand is 
unusable.

Thanks,
Ivo
