 I set my kmail to "colum warp at 78" now, hope now is ok for the 
requirements.

 Not yet a fix for this ?
 To try hardwire chip in 8 bit mode ? What do you think ?
 I can use an unused GPIO of pxa to enable via software to control the DoC 
8/16 bit enabler pin if i want to have control over this.

  but, the probing issue is solved for me by hardcoding in docprobe.c to probe 
address "#elseif _arm_ 0x00000000" in docprobe.c, but of course the patch is 
a more elegant solution.

I see only patch for the 0x0000000 probing issue [already hardcoded for me], 
but my problem is that it see a 2GiB instead of 32MiB, is this still becouse
you tell DoC is in 16bit and driver try 8bit access ? What that mean ?
What can i do to figure out this ?

 Please, let me clarify more a little bit.

PS
 As hardware knowleger, can tell someone if there exist another more popular 
flash device [i am somehow getting sick about DoC and M-Systems] but to be 
pin-pin compatible with this device MD-2811-032 and to work nice with mtd 
drivers ?
